- The best type of packraft for you depends on the trips you have planned. Are you a leisurely paddle around lakes and ocean inlet paddler or a level III whitewater adrenaline seeker? Or maybe you like both. There is a packraft for every adventurer type. This video breaks down each Kokopelli packraft model to help you make an informed decision on which boat is right for you.

Perfect breakdown, thanks! Leaning towards the XPD
I just bought the Moki Lite for 335 + 50 shipping + tax. I think XPD is the way if you ever want to hike with the packraft but with the sales going on 40% off or something? I figured I'd get the Moki Lite. In the future maybe I'll get another ultralight packable packradt but this will be perfect to add when I go overlanding aka car camping.
I like the Nirvana!
Your video is the best and most detailed to answer all of the questions I had.. chur from NZ
Glad it was helpful!
You present like a guy that should have a lot more subscribers. Cheers mate
You are too kind Darren! Thank you!
Superb and informative video, thanks very much 👍
This is a very nice concept, by all means.
Seeing them on whitewater, how easy are they to puncture and cut?
Kokopelli packraft's are very tough, each boat is made from durable PVC and Nylon with a Kevlar floor. The level of durability depends on the model. Chris has paddled whitewater with his Nirvana Self-Bailing Packraft multiple times and hasn't had any issues with punctures.
Does the Tizip cause enough of a weight imbalance to negatively affect performance? It's asymmetrical.
Hi, The TiZip accesses the entire hull area so gear can be spread evenly on either side. You can keep the boat balanced. Thanks
