SOTAR Liquid SL Raft

The diminished tube design tapers the diameter of the raft's tubes as they move toward the bow and stern. This reduces the raft's overall water footprint, making it significantly more responsive and easier to maneuver through technical whitewater compared to rafts with uniform tube diameters.

It is designed to handle both. The high rocker profile and maneuverability make it excellent for technical creeking, while the increased internal volume provides enough space and gear capacity for extended river excursions.

Liquid Lex is a specialized top chafe protection layer applied to the straight sections of the tubes. It is specifically engineered to resist abrasion and wear in demanding river environments, offering a higher level of durability than standard raft materials in high-impact areas.

Yes, the raft comes with two removable thwarts. You can easily adjust or remove them to accommodate different paddling setups, whether you are running a paddle team or rigging the boat for a multi-day gear haul.

While 99 lbs is a standard weight for a raft of this size, it is best handled by two people for carrying to and from the water. The six included handles are strategically placed to make lifting and maneuvering the boat easier during portages or loading.
