Product description

Beginner paddlers and weekend warriors can confidently take on calm waters and discover new adventures with the Aster Packraft’s ultra-lightweight yet durable design built to handle kids or more gear.

  • Standard floor design reduces overall weight without losing durability, making the Aster a boat even kids can carry at 6.1 lbs (Aster XL 6.6 lbs).
  • Highly durable PVC-free nylon has an internal and external TPU coating, increasing air retention in case of abrasion.
  • TPU-coated nylon is easily repairable, extending product life.
  • Overlapping, heat-welded seams are further sealed with interior taping, to create an incredibly strong mechanical bond for fail-proof air retention.
  • Inflatable seat and backrest combo deliver a comfortable paddling position.
  • 1” nylon webbing loops in the bow and stern permit the addition of a safety line and provide additional attachment points for personal gear.
  • Package includes packraft, inflation bag, inflation blow tube and repair kit.
  • Three-year retail warranty.

Note: Long exposure to sun and high temperatures can increase air pressure, leading to overinflation. Overinflation can damage seams or worse. NRS suggests bleeding off air pressure or fully deflating packraft and seat in these conditions.
