Klymit Lightwater Dinghy (LWD) Packraft
From Klymit: Designed with input from Pro kayakers and packrafters, the LWD is an advanced pack raft that tracks well, is stable, and allows use of canoe or kayak paddle. It’s ideal for for canyoneering and backcountry water. LWD includes a pump that is efficient and easy to use, which converts to a dry sack for gear storage and protection. The packraft includes dry sack/pump, and 6 tie-off zones for lashing gear or securing the dinghy on shore. It weighs only 35 ounces, making it one of the lightest rafts of its kind.
From Nick: I’ve used this packraft sparingly, but it’s added a wonderful dimension to the trips where it’s come with me. I’ve taken it on a backpacking trip to the Wind River Mountains in Wyoming, where it allowed me to get into the middle of an alpine lake and catch 18” cutthroat trout with every cast. It’s sturdy enough to handle minor rapids - I’ve heard of individuals using this LWD for seven-day floats of the Escalante River in Utah - but it is best for more tranquil waters, and adding a new, fun dimension to larger trips.
Rental includes a breakdown kayak paddle and a kayaking life jacket.
