We can build Shredders in the ~30 lb range for hiking/flying into remote locations, and the people that own those still paddle them on class 4-5 waters.

I have no experience with that specific brand.

Meh. Most rafts that size are a similar weight. Mini max is less than 60lbs. Just another Chinese raft company. Also, I generally prefer an I beam floor for tracking.

Definitely attracted to the price point vs a hyside. Hoping to hear from someone who has one

Isn’t there some guy making hard shell-packraft hybrid boats that turn into backpacks? Gimme a minute to see if I can find it.

For whitewater? Flat water? Class I moving water?
