Question 1

looks a little small for rivers?

Accepted Answer

I’ve had 3 of these rafts over the last 4 years. 1 popped in a fishing accident (popped by a hook) I keep it with the patch and still use it as a spare. The other one died on some rocks in the closet thing to class three rapids ive been in. The newest one I bought for my girlfriend and she loves using it in slow rivers and ponds. I’d say class two rapids are seriously pushing what it can do and yes you’re going to get wet.

Question 2

Need boat to pack into mnt lakes. From reviews boat is unstable, gets you wet(low riding).Is this a death trap?

Accepted Answer

At 6'5" 200lbs the boat worked great. Did not attempt to carry my gear onboard, just paddling around the lake. A little water will get in as you enter and exit the boat. It is well constructed, not a toy boat. Overall, a good investment for expanding your ability to explore the lake. Btw, did not buy paddles, hand paddling moves the boat just fine. A real paddle might be too much for the low freeboard.

Question 3

What’s been updated in the 2020 model?

Accepted Answer

From Klymit customer support on Jan 20, 2021:

The newest version is the Orange 2020 model. It weighs slightly more than the older version (35 oz vs 44oz) due to improved seam welding.

Question 4

Do you have to blow up with a bag or can you use a pump?

Accepted Answer

It is designed to use with the included bag, but you can make it work with a pump if you have the right size attachment or you can attach the bag and insert the pump hose into the bag and hold it very tight around the hose.  However, I was not personally able to get it to be really full/rigid without using the bag.  What we do is attach the bag, insert the pump hose into the bag and hold this tightly closed around the pump hose.  You can get it to about 90% full this way.  After that we had to use the bag the rest of the way.
