Packrafts

MRS packrafts have become our number one best-selling item, and it’s easy to see why. They are fantastic on so many levels: quality of material, lightweight, easy to assemble and pack up, great warranty and FUN! Our family loves spending time exploring mountain lakes and canals near our home around the Rocky Mountains. While we have not personally gone through any rapids yet, lots of our customers have, and they love MRS packrafts for whitewater.

If you aren’t familiar with packrafting, one of the newer sports in North America, it can seem like these boats are too good to be true! They fit into a backpack (no more carrying around a big bulky canoe or kay) and are surprisingly easy to inflate with the screw-on airbag where you “catch” air and compress it into the boat. After about ten scoops of air from the airbag, the vessel is 90% inflated. A few more puffs from your mouth or an optional (not-included) pump, and your raft is buoyant and ready to go. Another surprising feature of these inflatable boats is how sturdy they actually are. When people first see them, they think that they are going to rip easily, but they are actually very strong. And in the improbable event of damage to the material, MRS offers a three-year warranty. Our good friend had his stuck in an underwater cave for months, and even after that crazy adventure, he was able to use his MRS packraft.

Material

The material is hand-made from high-quality urethane-coated nylon, (not PVC or hypalon like other cheaper boats on the market). This material is light, abrasion-resistant, UV tolerant, non-ageing and maintains flexibility at low temperatures.  It has been specially treated to make a smooth, scratch-resistant surface. This creates a supple material for easy packing and folding. It is also very easy to repair in the unlikely event that the packraft should need a patch. 

MRS fully supports sustainable development and is deeply involved in the research and development of TPU coated fabric. The TPU fabric in the MRS packrafts are all Swiss Bluesign®-certified, meaning that they are environmental-friendly and manufactured in a safe workspace.

Distinctive Features

The biggest selling feature of the Barracuda R2 is its storage space. With most packrafts, your backpack has to be tied across the bow as there isn't much internal room. But the Barracuda R2 Pro has a very spacious hull and enough leg room for two people.

Another advantage of this kayak is that it can fit two people - perfect for a day out with your friend or significant other. The seats can be configured for kneeling (canoe style) or sitting. However, you will want to adjust your paddle depending on your seating choice, and if you are kneeling, you might want to use knee pads. R2 means two choices: race or recreation, with two people. This boat gives you maximum flexibility as it can function as a canoe or a kayak; it is stable but also agile and controllable; it handles white water or open water. It is easy to turn and not likely to flip. 

This packraft is suitable for water hiking, adventure racing, kayaking, wilderness tours or long-distance trips. Its versatility makes it feasible to pack with you on a flight or carry with you in your backpack. 

The difference between the Barracuda R2 and the Barracuda R2 Pro, is that this one does not have a spray deck, but still gives you the option of paddling with 2 people for a great price. The popular ISS (internal storage option) is an optional feature.

Introducing The MRS Barracuda R2 Packraft - Your Ultimate Adventure Companion!

Camping Hiking Adventures welcomes you to explore the great outdoors like never before with the MRS Barracuda R2 Packraft. With its outstanding qualities and exceptional features, it is no wonder that MRS packrafts have become our number one best-selling item.

Its unparalleled quality and craftsmanship are at the core of the Barracuda R2 Packraft's popularity. MRS leaves no room for compromise when it comes to materials, ensuring a product that is built to last. Made from high-quality urethane-coated nylon and triple seams, this packraft boasts a lightweight yet incredibly robust construction. 

The material also maintains flexibility even in low temperatures, making it a reliable companion in various weather conditions. Furthermore, it features a smooth, scratch-resistant surface, providing comfort and durability for all your journeys.

Inflating and assembling the MRS Barracuda R2 is a breeze thanks to its innovative design. The screw-on airbag system allows for quick and effortless inflation, and within moments, your packraft is ready to hit the water. With just a few scoops of air from the airbag, the vessel is already 90% inflated and only requires a few more breaths to fill it. 

The Barracuda R2's distinctive feature lies in its generous storage space. Compared to most packrafts that only have room for your backpack if tied across the bow, this remarkable packraft offers ample internal space. This feature and enough leg space to accommodate two people sets the Barracuda R2 apart for thrilling day trips with friends or significant others. The optional ISS (internal storage system) feature offers even more storage. You can configure the seat for kneeling (canoe style) or sitting, allowing you to choose your preferred paddling position. 

The versatility of the Barracuda R2 knows no bounds. Aptly named for its two-person capability, it provides the freedom to enjoy the water with two people at a fraction of the cost of the Barracuda R2 Pro. Its agile and controllable nature minimizes the likelihood of flipping, offering you and your significant other a safe and enjoyable experience, even in unpredictable conditions.

The Barracuda R2 Packraft is also compact, lightweight, and fits easily into a backpack. As a result, it is an ideal companion for hikers and adventure seekers who are always on the move. 

Beyond its exceptional performance, the MRS Barracuda R2 embraces sustainability and eco-friendliness.
