  • Kokopelli boats didn't make sense to me until I saw them at iCAST. I never understood the design of the boat and who their customers base was. Then I held one and I immediately understood. It is the most ridiculously lightweight yet durable boat for packing on adventures. PERIOD!

    I thought they were built cheap when I saw online ads, but then I learned they use premium TPU materials & high grade valves that make them way more durable than 95% of inflatables on the market. Basically, I couldn't have been more wrong about this company. I'm so happy to recommend Kokopelli to viewers looking for an ultra-compact boat! So impressed! Canyoneering and bikepacking looks like so much fun!

    Pretty sweet. Would have loved to have this when I went backpacking at Bear Mountain State Park in NY.

    Yes, they are expensive but do have great potential for fun! Small enough to even pack on an E-bike to get you to that stream or lake on an off beat trail.

    Get the partnership going with them. It would be cool to see river videos. Aren’t they under the Pelican umbrella?

      *I don’t think so.*
      Pelican International absorbed Dagger, Perception, Wilderness Systems, Wave Sport, Mad River Canoe, Harmony Gear, and Boardworks. Pelican also purchased Advanced Elements.

    Remember me? I was on the airplane with you and we talked about CZcams!

    Alpacka raft is likely more packable in their smallest versions.

    Why did you hate them before?

      Thought the boats “looked cheap” and “weird shape” and I didn’t understand the DNA of the brand. Seemed overpriced at first glance. Then when I held them I started seeing the huge potential and value. Especially when I saw how compact they rolled down to. I got into biking and I learned about the sport of bike packing as well which looks like a blast!. Just basically realized I had overlooked an entire category of outdoorsy, fun, & exploration. I wake up and crave adventures. This company seems to embody that life. I don’t know how I was so blinded before. I was way wrong on the quality of the boats too. They use TPU material on a-lot of their boats which is like my yeti soft side cooler they takes a ton of abuse. They also use the best valves in the industry.
      Long story short: I judged them too quickly and didn’t understand their potential.
