Used - MRS Nomad S1D Packraft - Green - No ISS

This packraft is a gently used demo model in excellent condition. Please note that used or demo packrafts do not carry an MRS manufacture's warranty. 

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 kayak, thank you) 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 beauties 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 Nomad S1D series is designed specifically for improved speed in still water, but the multi-functional skirt is fully enclosed, making the packrat also suitable for white water use. The detachable zipper and velcro allow you to easily close or open the zipper depending on the temperature and the type of water you find yourself in.  The spray deck makes it very easy to clean the raft by removing the full spray deck. It is a good idea to use the skeg when paddling as it will help direct the boat  and makes for easier paddling. 

This particular model works best on still water, so it's great for exploring lakes and fishing. This product opens up a whole new realm of hiking possibilities and adventures for you to explore as you bring it along in your backpack. 

The Nomad S1D 2ISS series comes with an optional internal storage system (ISS), where the stern of the boat can be accessed with a water-resistant zipper, and the side tubes can be stuffed with more storage. This actually proves to be an advantage in handling the boat and does not affect buoyancy. However, once you open the zip, the craft deflates, so you will want to be strategic about what you store in the side tubes. Using a dry bag will make it easy to access your gear from the side tube.

The difference between the Nomad S1D the Nomad S1 is that this model comes with a detachable spray deck and thigh strap adjustment points.
