The ultralight Kevlar Packer (Shown in fiberglass with optional black trim) is a delight to paddle. Its responsiveness will invite you to paddle even when you don't have a destination in mind. The Packer is designed for the paddler to sit. With an adjustable footbrace and plastic molded tractor-style seat the need for a kneeling paddling position is eliminated your knees and back will thank you.The canoe tracks well and yet it is quick to turn when leaned on its side. The Packer is suited for a wide range of paddlers, from 50 lbs to 240 lbs. When the total load is kept under 400 lbs, the Packer performs nicely as a medium duty tripping canoe. Options include a removeable portage yoke and foam thigh pads. 32 lbs!!
