Very nice review. Europe seems to have a much better selection of packrafts than the USA. Hopefully the idea catches on here.
It’s getting very popular here now.
Looks like a winner mate look forward to seeing the self bailer. Need to fit a skeg to mine. Think the best way could be with velcro...
You can buy the mounts with the skegs from Tirio I believe.
@@Vildmark I know mate it's just making that jump of sticking it on
Hi, a really super informative video on the Packraft Anfibio Revo XL. I have been looking at these with a view to buying one! I have been canoeing/kayaking since I joined my school canoe club way back in 1974 and we built our own fibreglass canoes back then! No H&S safety to worry about back then they would never let 14 year old do that today. And now at 63, I am very fit and active and I still canoe in fair weather today. I digress my question is why the bag inflation system? As this kind of puts me off as looks tricky. And not that easy and looks very time-consuming! Maybe it's not? But can you inflate with a normal pump? If you do so wish. Thanks, for the great video I have learnt so much more from your video, and it has pushed me closer to buying one for sure. Thanks, Kev.
Hi there. The bag is just due to it being light and once you get used to it it isn’t difficult.
You can buy small battery pumps which work well ua-cam.com/video/DR5uDEXbS1o/v-deo.html
One packraft to look at is the Microraft by mrs ua-cam.com/video/2pJAmCtVFok/v-deo.html
If you take a look at the series in Sweden last year you will see there benefit. ua-cam.com/play/PLC4XQXYeQTQT7_wQLJI5H7Im5L8uveMrs.html
All the best and thanks for watching.
Also the bonus with the mrs packraft is there’s a distributor in the UK so you won’t pay the import duty that you mighthave to with the Anfibio packraft
@@Vildmark Thanks re the pump issue I asked about! Having had so many inflatable boats over the years from very big Avon sports boats to small ones I just found this bag idea a very strange system of inflation but well if it works! That's good enough. Liked re the link you gave on the Microraft MRS sadly I see that model is out of stock right now on the UK website shop, I was looking at it with no date for any being available again. But I think I have to have one basically I still water paddle these days on lakes and slow rivers it would go so well with the e-bike I use these days! Thanks for your super quick answers. And great videos Kev.
I believe they have stock coming in soon. I’ll check with them for you.
Hi, thanks for the great review. One question pops up. Do you miss/would want a spray cover? Or don´t you think it is necessary? Cheers
Not really needed as the raft expels the water through the snorkel on the bottom and you’re sitting on the inflatable. And in a drysuit you going to be dry
Hi, I am looking to buy a packraft to paddle rivers in Ireland. I am wondering how do the packrafts handle weirs. Can you just go through them or do I need to portage?
Some Packrafts can handle up to grade 3 ww and some even more. Have a look at the MRS Microraft ua-cam.com/video/2pJAmCtVFok/v-deo.htmlsi=W6XYk1ATEozgXCjH 5% discount code from the UK distributor Paqualife available.
Brilliant review. Thanks Mark. Seriously looking at this model for sea and river fun for me, camping gear and dog. Looking at other models for me plus 1 kid too, any suggestions? Is this best bought direct from Anfibio? Sorry about the questions. I know how it feels to be a youtube information service!
Have a look at the Microraft XL by MRS available in UK from paqualife.co.uk. I have a discount code for them if your interested. That would be big enough for you plus one. There’s a review video of the Microraft in the channel.
As for the Anfibio Revo best to buy direct from Anfibio.
@Vildmark thanks. Just had a look, quite a bit more money than the antifibio though eh? Please send me the discount code! We are actually on holiday right now in Croatia and we always bring the paddleboard but it's a bit of a lump so a lighter alternative would be good.
If you’re Uk based don’t forget you’ll have import tax on the Anfibio gear. Discount code for paqualife: VILDMARK5
Thanks for the help on this one. I have ordered one, and it is just clearing customs! I went through packraft adventures, who were very helpful.
@Fellmandave1 they had to order it in? Might as well have gone straight to Anfibio in that case and cut out the middleman.
Although they have to deal with customs. I haven’t had any dealings with packraft adventure since the split from tirio.
Nice video. I see that it has a skeg mount - have you tried using it with a skeg? Thanks.
No I haven’t tried it with the skeg.
Thanks for nice review! I'm planning to buy Revo XL for bikepacking. I don't have ay other gear, so do you think Buoy Boy and Anfibio Vertex Tour would be nice addition? :)
It depends on where you will paddle. If your paddling calm water and using it for expeditions then the buoy boy is great.
If your paddling white water then I’d recommend the vertex tour or a similar pfd.
Concerning bike rafting. Please remember that this raft is not specifically designed for that. Perhaps look at the Alpacka Caribou or the GP cargo (this is available from Anfibio)
www.packrafting-store.de/Packrafts/Other-brands/GP-Cargo::1198.html
@@Vildmark calm water at least in the beginning :) Do you experience with Wave and Vertex Tour paddles?
@@Vildmark sorry, I haven't check the full text of your comment. Why do you think GP CARGO is better for bikerafting, because of higher buoyancy and loops for lashing the equipment?
It’s designed for carrying weight at the front. A bike will balance better on the front. Check out this video and you’ll see how the bike sits. ua-cam.com/video/hnDLoOqqdPc/v-deo.html
They don’t sit will in rafts not designed for bikes.
@@Vildmark I was hoping inflatable floor in Revo XL will help with balancing the load and buoyancy :(
By the way how do Anfibio calculate buoyancy? In specification it is 170kg, but without inflatable floor it will be less?
