Why it stands out

  • Stability and on-the-water feel: At 31 inches wide on a 12-foot-6 hull, the Loon 126 is built for stability over speed.
  • The ACS2 seat is the star of the show: The Active Comfort System 2.0 seat is genuinely one of the best stock seats in recreational kayaks.
  • Storage and rigging: The removable work deck sits right in front of the cockpit with space for a camera, a tackle tray, and a water bottle.
