The Traverse is a specialized 8ft solo vessel designed for the minimalist who demands maximum utility. By combining a kayak-style hull with a lightweight 1-chamber pack-raft build, this boat offers a nimble, self-bailing solution for backcountry water access. At just 22 lbs, it is light enough for long-haul portages while offering the weight capacity of a much larger craft.
Built for the solo adventurer and their gear, the Traverse boasts a 400 lb load capacity. The heart of its performance is the 4" Removable Drop-Stitch Floor, which provides the structural rigidity of a hard-shell boat, allowing for efficient paddling and better secondary stability. The self-bailing design ensures the cockpit stays clear of water weight when navigating technical sections or crossing windswept lakes, allowing the boat to remain light and responsive even in choppy conditions.
Transitioning from the trail to the water is seamless. The single-chamber main hull inflates in minutes using the included field pump. When the trek is over, the entire kit breaks down into a compact 4ft 4in x 1ft 1in footprint, fitting easily into the provided roll-top backpack or lashed to a frame for transport.
~ When operating on or around water, always wear a properly fitted U.S. Coast Guard approved personal floatation device.
