Can you roll a packraft? How durable are they? And can you actually paddle Class IV & V in one?

If you’re a kayaker curious about making the jump to packrafting, chances are you’ve asked yourself a few of these questions. Luckily, we’ve got the answers.

Packrafts are shockingly versatile, easy to transport, and way more capable than most people expect. They handle a lot of the same whitewater and river features as traditional hardshell kayaks.
