The Packlite+ XL uses a removable drop-stitch floor for rigidity and enough stability to stand up on calm water. It comes with two adjustable inflatable seats, a pump and a backpack with pockets for a paddle or rods. A 530mm TiZip at the stern opens the tube for airtight gear storage, and you can leave the floor or seats home to save weight.

- Remove the floor and seats on long hikes where weight matters more than rigidity.
KayakDIY take: Being able to strip a packraft down for the hike and rebuild it at the water is a big plus. To compare boats, see all my kayak reviews.
