DURABILITY
When comparing our kayaks to other inflatables keep in mind the following questions.
1. How thick is the hull material?
2. Is it reinforced with fabric? If so, what denier?
3. How many layers of material need to be pierced in order to punture the main chamber?
4. Does the hull have any reinforced abrasion areas?
This is how our AdvancedFrame™ models stack up.
1. 1.0 mm thich or 0.04 inches thick.
2. Yes, PVC Tarpaulin with 1000 Denier Polyester.
3. 3 Layers of material must be pierced in order to puncture the main chamber through the
hull. Layer 1 (hull) 1.0 mm. PVC/ 1000 D polyester, Layer 2 (tube cover) High density PU
coated Polyester fabric, Layer 3 Heavy-duty 30 gauge PVC main chamber.
4. Yes, we double the material on the bow and stern, and weld on landing plates under the
bow and stern for protection when beaching the kayak.
