    I’m 6’2” and have an Atlin and the lightweight.  I fit easily in both.  I have the largest atlin and with a bike mounted up front I have plenty of room for my legs with room to spare, and enough clearance from the bike that I can paddles hard without feeling jammed up.

    When the bike isn’t up front, I can have a full backpack up there and it makes a good foot rest.

    Finished the lightweight packraft.  First trip was across echo lake, then a short hike to ralston lake in desolation wilderness.  This one took less time but I made more mistake and I think the thinner fabric is less forgiving with welding mistakes.  Took a while to get all the leaks patched up.  It did great though and it’s going to come with me on a lot of trips.

    Thanks for putting this together!  I printed one out, still need to clean it up a little but it threaded in perfectly.

    Thanks for this!  I have two inflation bags so I’ll use this on one and compare.

    Finished building the Atlin a couple weeks ago and have already taken it on several trips.  So far just fishing trips, low stress stuff as I get familiar with things.  I plan on bikepacking and hopefully taking it on some class 1/2 rivers.  I’ve been scouting some places and trying to find something beginner friendly in my area.  Just received the ultralight packraft today and started on that one😅.  I’ll probably end up with a skeena as well as my skill level increases and I want to push it more.
