For safety reasons we recommended you to do following in summer (Hot days) and Winter (Cold days)

Summer:
When Packraft is not in use, let some air out to prevent the heat to expand the air inside the packraft and potentially damage the packraft.

Winter:
Before use in cold days:
Inflate the packraft, put it in the cold water and sit in it or strap gear on it while it is in the water, then bring it back to land and inflate it again incase the cold temperatures have contracted the air inside the packraft.

Information about this
"As the molecules heat and move faster, they are moving apart. So air, like most other substances, expands when heated and contracts when cooled. Because there is more space between the molecules, the air is less dense than the surrounding matter and the hot air floats upward."

In our packrafts it is very stable and low center of gravity so it is hard to flip over.

But if you are unlucky there is two options:

1. If you detach the spraydeck, the packraft will be self-bailing.
This means you will just fall out into the water if you flip over.

2. With our spraydeck equipped you just use your legs to push yourself away into the water.

When you then are in the water, we have two carry handles on the inside of the packrafts, they can be used to climb inside again.

This takes some practise and we recommend practising this in the summer or with a dry suit on close to land.

Short answer is yes, our packrafts is very stable with a high buoyancy because of the large tubes and size, at the same time low center of gravity of the paddler inside, and first time users as well as experienced user will feel this stability straight away when entering the water with our packrafts.

There is some tips we would like to share to ensure stability under use with heavy gear:

1. Ensure weight distribution is lowest possible and centered in the packraft.

2. Secure all gear to prevent it from moving around in the waves or when padling.

3. Adjust seat and backrest to be in full contact with you and sit forward for best possible weight distribution and response.

4. Make sure Packraft is fully inflated before you enter water.

Packrafts has a floor that shapes and moves on the water under it, this can be challenging for dogs and make them jump out of the packraft.

The best way we have found with our Alaska Husky dogs that hates water, but still jumped out in the beginning, was to add a foam sleeping pad that we cut to the packraft and made floor more solid.
This in combination with treats it took a short while and dogs was feeling safe without a moving floor, then we removed the foam sleeping pad floor.

It only took 3 daytrips and now the dogs jumps in and out on command, use some time with the training and you can seek the adventure together with your dogs.

When you pack the packraft, make sure to keep weight centered and low point of gravity to keep maximum stability.

In our packrafts we have 6 Attachment points in front, 4 in the back and 2 leg attachments.
These comes in handy when you have alot of gear with you.

Backpack you put down in front with top pocket towards you so you can open the top or pockets on top for easy access while in the water.
Fasten the backpack with 1 strap at bottom and 1 on top straight over, make sure straps is behind the shoulderstraps so you can lift the backpack and carry the backpack and packraft without detaching it.

In the back you can strap foam sleeping pad, fishing equipment or a bag with gear you want fast access to with food etc so you do not have to detach main backpack in front.

If you have a small drybag with camera or other gear you can store it in front of your leg adjusters so it is well protected but still easy to get to.

The Seeker Packrafts has many attachment points to ensure that you can safely secure all the gear you might need even on long expeditions.

When you are not in the water it is several ways of carrying the packraft.

If you are just hiking to another water, the packraft can be inflated and mounted on the backpack.

If you need to hike long distances or in the woods, then we recommend to deflate it and roll it up, fasten the included straps  around it, and fasten it on the backpack, paddles can be stored on side of backpack, then you will have a even weight distribution.

Many choose a to big packraft so they have more space for gear, dogs and kids, this is why we in our packrafts we have added leg attachmentpoints so even if you have a to large packraft you can mount a strap and adjust to your length.

To find out the perfect size for you you can read under specifiations on our packrafts what inner length it is and then do following:

Sitting length can be measured by sitting in a comfortable position with back against the wall.
Stretch your legs all the way out and measure the length from the wall and out to the legs.
Then use the length you got and compare with our different Packrafts inner lengths.

Yes, all our packrafts have standard spraydeck and sprayskirt included, spraydeck is  removable and replaceable if you want to paddle without or use a different version spraydeck like expedition spraydeck.

Both versions is high quality and handles beeing used in same locations.
840 and 420 is Denier, this is a measuring number that states thickness and Weight of the fabric.
The 840 has higher weight than the 420 but is more durable.

If you use a packraft much in tought conditions like rivers, fishing (hooks), icy conditions or camping with much gear, we recommend the Extreme packrafts with 840 TPU.
If you are hiking long distances, light camping or recreational use, the 420 TPU is a good choice to lower the weight.

Our packrafts is of high quality and the packraft can handle rocks and objects as it bounces off, and will keep you safe in the water.

You can offcourse be unlucky if you hit a sharp object in high speed so always see where you are going, and use special caution when going down rivers.

Weight is without accessories.

Yes, you can make it become self bailing.
Our packrafts come as standard with removable spraydeck, this you can detach with the zippers and then the packraft will be self bailing.

If you have spraydeck on, you need to do a Wet-Exit.

Speed on our packrafts is offcourse depended on weather, gear weight, and how much you put into it, but we have tested this much and from our own numbers with experienced padlers and experienced together numbers is like this:

Lazy (Recreational): 2.8 - 3.2 KM/h
Cruising (Average paddling): 3.8 - 4 KM/h
Hard (Hard Paddling): 4.9 - 5.2 KM/h

Our Skeg / Fin is very easy to attach:

1. Flip packraft upside down.

2. Stand in the back where the Skeg/fin mount is.

3. Pull the Skeg / Fin in the track towards you. (the safety pin should be closest to you when entering)

4. Clip in the safety pin.

To detach, simply remove safety pin and push out the Skeg / Fin.

It is normal when you first receive the packraft that it can be hard to mount, this gets easier over time.

Yes, Bikerafting can be done.

We do recommend using velcro straps to fasten the bike to be able to quick release the bike, and also pad the areas that will touch the packraft.

Yes, dogs can be in the packraft without any problems.
