It’s spring, lakes and rivers are open and you are pondering which packraft to get? I know the feeling. Good thing the Packrafting Store has created the most awesome fully-interactive comparison chart which lists all their packrafts from super-ultralight to cargo carriers for the whole family. Use it to find the right packraft for your needs, sorted by size, weight and best use, rated from robustness to Whitewater capability and see what the different accessories weigh. After you made up your mind click the packraft and get directly to the prduct page and find out even more about your chosen raft. I know I’d wish there’d been something like this when I started packrafting years ago!
