- MRS Microraft Packraft Review.
The MRS Microraft is a really great all round packraft. It is perfect if you're after a multi-discipline packraft. It's suitable for lakes, rivers and white-water (but please note this packraft is not 100% watertight on the deck) and perfect for expeditions.
The MRS Microraft comes in 4 Sizes: XS, S, L Xtra-Long.
I tested out the Large version.
The packraft weighs 3.4KG which isn't the lightest.
The Microraft comes with a removable cruiser deck which will stop most of the water ingress from paddle drips, rain and splashes but is not 100% watertight as it is velcroed on the L side for ingress and egress.
The Microraft can be ordered with an Internal Storage System (ISS) which by opening a TiZip on the stern allows you to store your gear internally in the packraft.
This is one of the nicest packrafts I have tried and really recommend this to anyone.
The Microraft was supplied to me by the UK distributor, Paqualife.

Completely agree with this review. I have the same raft and love it. Very well made and does everything I wanted it to do.
Enjoy Sweden 👍
Thanks
Loving your videos, keep up the great videos.
This is a really good review, thank you :)
Thanks. Take a look at the MRS Nomad for a look at a different packraft.
@@Vildmark cheers I've taken a look, will definitely be getting one!
Are you in the UK. As I’ve a discount code for the UK distributor.
@@Vildmark yes I'm in the UK :)

I have bought an Intex Seahawk 2 for GPB40. It weighs 8 kilograms, which is more than two times the weight of the packraft here; it also takes more space when folded (I suppose).
I have replaced the oars since the original ones seem to be made for children; that is another GPB8.
The cruiser deck on the packraft is a definite plus and would be really nice on the Seahawk.
That is to say, I have a boat of similar sizes which is 2.3 times heavier and costs 25 times less. My question is, why should one switch from the Seahawk to the Microraft?
As you said, weight, packable size and spray deck. You also have to possibility to store gear inside.
@@Vildmark, thank you!
The price stays the only reason which still keeps me a good distance away.
Hi. Thx for the vid. Compared to the Anfibio Revo XL. Which one do u prefer, and why? Thx
That’s tricky. The microraft is lighter and has the spray deck where the Revo is a great white water packraft that can be paddled on calm water.
The Revo has a better rocker and it doesn’t have to be paddled with the inflatable floor.
That’s a really tricky question actually. I really love the Revo Xl but I think for more expedition paddling the Microraft is more suited.
Hope this helps and doesn’t seem like a politicians answer.
@Vildmark Thanks for the response! . Not a spin-doctor answer no. There are just a lot of good options. Also looking at the Mekong Pablo Whisky Bar. Thx 😃

Would you put a bike on it?
In a nutshell no, many people do but I prefer to use equipment that is designed specifically for the task. The Alpacka Carribou is designed to carry a bike. It has an upturned bow, fixings for straps in the correct place for a bike and the bike sits perfect on it.
Many people use the Microraft for a bike but I’d prefer to use the correct gear.

@@Vildmark Thanks for reply. Something to ponder on😊😊
