Kokopelli, the Colorado-based creator of lightweight and packable inflatable packrafts, has brought back their popular full kevlar x-series packrafts. The Nirvana Self-Bailing X and Rogue-Lite X continue to push boundaries of what a high-performance packraft can do.
The x-series boats are stronger than TPU constructed packrafts and lighter than PVC ones. They also have the same bombproof DuPont Kevlar used for the flooring into the sidewalls for increased durability, rigidity and strength. Kokopelli has also included Leafield D7 valves, which are used on most commercial whitewater rafts. An added feature is an automatic pressure relief valve to ensure proper PSI is ideal no matter where you take your boat.
Truly Portable Packrafts
Kokopelli has given buyers the option to add TiZip storage to the boats, which allows for inner pontoon access to keep all your essential gear dry for multi-day trips while you paddle. The Rogue-Lite X compresses down to the size of a paper towel roll, being best for lakes, oceans and class I rivers. The workhorse Nirvana Self-Bailing X can roll into the size of a sleeping bag with a class I-IV rating on rivers. The x-series boats help users move light and fast while allowing them to trust the durability of their boat on their backpacking, bikepacking or fishing trip.
“The X-series boats truly elevate packrafts to a whole new level,” said Kokopelli General Manager Jeff Popp. “Never before has there been such a perfect mix of durability, packability and performance in a lightweight package. With these boats you get similar durability to a hard-shell kayak at a fraction of the weight. The added ability to pack it and take it places you’d never be able to take a kayak is icing on the cake.”
The D7 valves on the boats also include a lifetime warranty. The TiZip zipper includes a one-year warranty for when your adventures get rowdier than expected.
