How the recommendation works
The packraft finder compares your answers with Anfibio's manufacturer data: boat weight, load capacity, interior length, intended use, TubeBags and spray deck. On top of that comes our experience from nine years of packrafting. A few rules of thumb:
- Weight vs. features: The longer the boat travels in your backpack, the lighter it should be. Ultralight boats are meant for calm water.
- TubeBags: For multi-day trips and expeditions, the TubeBag version is worth it. Your gear stays dry inside the tube, the centre of gravity is low and the boat is less affected by wind.
- Whitewater: Self-bailers like the Revo CL, Sigma TXLB+ or Omega C2B+ have the edge here. But more important than the boat are training, a helmet, a life jacket and experience.
- Height: Interior length is what counts. Tall paddlers feel more comfortable from around 140 cm of interior length.
- As a pair: A tandem is comfortable and fast. Two solo boats are easier to carry and more flexible.
