I have two inflatables. My Itiwit x500 dries easily with a towel or a sponge. My Advanced Elements Advanced Frame Sport is definitely tougher to dry. I considered a Bay ST before I bought the x500, but I saw a review on UA-cam complaining that it didn't track straight. The LT Sport may not have this problem because of the open cockpit. I definitely like the light weight. The x500 is a bit heavier, but it's manageable, and it's a lot easier to assemble. It's not so easy to pack in its backpack, but I rarely use the backpack anymore. Is easier to fold it twice and shove it in my hatchback with the rear seats down. Orus also need floats to avoid sinking when full of water, and the floats take storage space. I often pack my kayak to its capacity for camping, so I'd miss that space. I'm still interested in Orus though. Thanks for the video.
Hoo Boy! That was interesting and a novel design. Hut for plastic cardboard, I wasn't expecting that price tag! Wowza! They sure aren't shy!
More like rip off merchants! 😂
I was shocked when I saw it the first time too. They're definitely very proud of their products!

Yeah the floats would definitely take up a lot of your storage for camping gear.
Thanks for watching!
