Alpacka Expedition
Best high performance packraft for serious backcountry wilderness explorers.
This is the ultimate backcountry workhorse for paddlers who refuse to choose between whitewater agility and flatwater efficiency. By stowing your gear inside the hull, you gain a remarkably stable center of gravity, though you do sacrifice the convenience of quick-access external storage for a more streamlined, technical ride.
