Packrafts come in different shapes and sizes, and each model has its own features. By testing a packraft, you can find out if its characteristics match your intended use.
Testing a packraft before buying lets you inspect the quality of its construction and materials. You can check the seams, valves, attachments, and other components to make sure everything is solid and well-assembled.
Trying out a packraft allows you to assess its comfort and stability on the water. You can test its handling and balance in different water conditions, giving you a real-world sense of its performance.
Testing also helps you evaluate how easy the packraft is to transport. You can check its weight, packed size, and how simple it is to inflate and deflate — key factors if you plan to carry it over long distances.
You’ll also pick up essential skills, like how to inflate and deflate your boat with minimal effort, use your safety gear (like a life jacket and helmet), properly fold your packraft, and store it in a way that ensures long-term durability.
