Packrafts are lightweight inflatable boats that roll up to fit in your backpack, allowing you to hike and paddle to places that would otherwise be inaccessible. Made of durable materials, they are much tougher than pool toys, but much lighter than traditional boats.
If you want a high quality packraft without the high price of a manufactured model, you can save ~80% by making your own using similar materials to those used by the best packraft manufacturers. DIY Packrafts are made with heat-sealable fabric so no sewing and no special skills are required. The unique construction method creates the lightest packrafts on the market, without sacrificing strength. An inexpensive heat sealing iron is the only specialized tool you’ll need.
DIY Packrafts are being made in 35 countries and counting – learn more about making your own packraft here.
