MRS packraft RSS

We are so excited to interview MRS today! Congratulations, MRS, on a very productive year. Could you share about the new line of packrafts that you have launched? We launched the ultra-light series this year. Four products are included in the ultra-light series, which are mainly for use in flat water: Nitrogen, Minnow, Surveyor, and Surveyor-X2.

Adventure racing, paddling a glacier-fed river and a scary experience in a flipped packraft! The founder of Rocky Mountain Adventure shares his memorable experiences with us.

We always love to hear about the adventures our customers have with their pacrrafts. It is our pleasure to share Colin's epic fishing and backcountry adventure with you today. Enjoy!    The Expedition I’d been thinking of this fishing trip for a long time. It combined two things that really got me interested: trophy brook trout and a remoteness that would keep the average Joe away. It was a good 25 km hike in through prime grizzly country and would require staying over on the way in and at the lake in order to make the trip doable and worthwhile....
