After lots of paddle trips, overnighters and a long packrafting trip in Lapland it is time to review the Anfibio Rebel 2K - the packraft I have used on all these trips in the past six months. In this in-depth Video I show the features and limitations of the Rebel 2K, explain why I think it is a great packraft for beginners and people who look for one packraft which can do it all, and why it is for me the ultimate Adventure Packraft!

Great review ! Practical, informative and unbiased from start to finish, without any excess padding or annoying background music. Why can't all reviews be like this ? Thanks.
Thanks Graham!
Excellent and honest review!! More like this please :)
Thank you DocSalmo 😊
You’re the best, Hendrik, this type of advice was exactly what I needed. Sold! ;)
Hahaha Stefan, thank you so much 🙌🏼! Stay tuned for a few more packrafting Videos in the next months 😊
I'm convinced to buy it after this video, thanks :)
Enjoy it Łukasz 👍🏼😊
Hi Hendrik, based on your review i recently bought A2K - and today, i've tested this packraft for about 6km with satisfaction. So, best regards and more great reviews. JS
Hey Jiri, that’s great feedback, Thank you 😊 Happy packrafting!
Nice Overview. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it Bernd!
@@HendrikMorkel Ich habe mir das Video gleich nochmal angeschaut da ich mit dem Packraft liebäugle. Ich habe nur bedenken beim Thema Beladung.
Kann man die 150kg ausreizen? Ich bin 2m groß, 100kg schwer und mache Touren mit 35kg Rucksack. Bekomme ich da Probleme?
Danke vorab für eine Antwort...
Very nice video, thanks
Kiitos 😊
Informative and even, where intended to be so, funny.
The open tubes seem to be the best thing about this boat. Next, of course, comes the reduced weight.
In terms of handing, the packraft seems to be all over the place in the absence of a skeg; and it is less reliable than an Intex Challenger K1 or K2, which can definitely take more abuse (despite the fact that either of them is made from cheaper material). Speaking of cheap, an Intex kayak is eight to ten times less expensive than the Anfibio REBEL 2K.
A combination of the two boats would be the best thing to have: a cheap, enduring, light boat with open tubes for most convenient storage.
Thanks! The handling is like most packrafts and can be improved with the skeg :)
Now a K2 weighs packed short of 15 kg and costs with shipping et al. $550 which isn’t that much cheaper than a Rebel 2K. I also think that the Intex boats would find the Finnish rocks of Lapland equally troublesome, but it might also be that they don’t 😆 But alone the weight of the K1 or K2 makes them not really a good option for a backpacking raft.
Eine schöne und wirklich ausführliche Vorstellung des Anfibio REBEL 2K. 👍 Es ist schon Wahnsinn, was heute mit modernen Techniken und Materialien alles möglich ist. Vor 10-20 Jahren hätte man nicht einmal im Traum daran gedacht, dass man ein Paddelboot in seinem Rucksack transportieren kann. 😳
Vielen Dank! Und ja, in letzter Zeit hat sich einiges getan, und die Packrafts sind kleiner, kompakter und besser auf dem Wasser geworden! Ob das so wohl weiter geht?!
Danke für die Review! "Verfolge" jetzt schon seit einiger Zeit das Rebel 2k, weil es einfach auf dem Papier ein exzellenter Allrounder zu sein scheint. Mir macht aber dann trotzdem die Robustheit und auch die nicht ganz unproblematischen Taschen (die ich eigentlich von der Theorie sehr gut finde) etwas Sorgen. Die Strecken die ich vorhabe zu fahren sind über lange Strecken von Regenwald umgeben, da kann man nicht mal schnell rauswandern, sondern muss teilweise vielleicht noch 5-8km weiter auf dem Fluss, um dort irgendwo rauszukommen. Aber, für die geplanten Touren muss man auch meist mindestens 5-10km überhaupt zum Startpunkt laufen, bzw. teilweise halt 15-20km vom Endpunkt. Da ist natürlich jedes Kilo entscheidend. Dank Corona habe ich ja jetzt (leider) noch etwas Bedenkzeit...
Dein Kanal ist jedenfalls abonniert.
Hei Holger, Danke für den Kommentar! Die Robustheit ist nur bei wirklich harten Gesteinen und Niedrigwasser ein Problem - im Dschungel (wo soll es den hingehen?!) sollte das weniger ein Problem sein. Auch die Taschen sind OK und Unproblematisch - es sei den Du öffnest Sie wenn das Boot aufgepumpt ist - dann gibt es ein Problem 😁!
Hey Hendrik, super gemachtes Review und mit allen Vor- und Nachteilen. Finde ich klasse. 👍 Dass du doch schon einige Löcher drin hast hat mich doch überrascht. Gruß Tom
Hei Tom, Danke! Ich bin halt bei Niedrig Wasser über scharfe Gneisgesteine geschrubbt 😬 da bekommt man schon mal ein Löchlein rein. Wenn wir nur so schönen Kies hätten wie Ihr!
@@HendrikMorkel 😂 ja das stimmt. In Finnland ist das Gestein echt nicht ohne. Da sind wir ja sehr verwöhnt mit unserem "entschärften" Kieselsteinen.
Great review! I'd buy this if I had the extra €€ (I already have a Microraft).
Would be great if you could review various Anfibio paddles sometime.
Just found your channel & subscribed too. Cheers!
Hei there, good idea with the paddles, I only have one Anfibio paddle, but that could be a start =)
Great video! Looks like a very well designed pack raft!
I’m curious, what shoes are you wearing in this video?
Thank you! You mean the green shoes? That are inov-8 Mudclaw G 260 trailrunning shoes!
Thank you for a great review! Been thinking about this model for my first ever packraft. I can see that you have space to stretch out your legs in the packraft, something I also find very important. Although, I didn't hear you mention how tall you are? :)
Hi Oscar, glad you enjoyed the review! I’m 175 cm tall - the inside length is 127 cm so if you’re substantially taller maybe check out one of the longer packrafts!
Which efficient 4 parts Paddle would you advice ?
I still hesitate between this Rebel 2k,Delta Mx or Sigma Tx ? Thanks
Great review. I just need to sell my old AIRE 20kg 2 man from 10+ years ago and downsize.
Thanks Mark! Well, you always can keep the AIRE for other trips, and get the REBEL 2K for hiking and packrafting trips ;) (Unless you haven't used the AIRE much!).
What's your Paddle ? I've seen Very expensive ones on their site.. 🙄Is the Anfibio Fly good and efficient ? Thanks again
Very nice and informative Video. Up to which body length can you recommend the packraft? I am around 2 m but would wear smaller shoes inside than you had. Best regards! Alex
Hi Alex, I’m 175 cm tall and the inside length of the Rebel 2K is 127 cm - maybe you can sit down against a wall at home, stretch out your legs and measure from the heel to the wall to see what length you have? There’s Anfibio packrafts available with longer inside lengths if this one is too short 🙂
Loved the video and very informative. Is this the kind of boat that I could I could use with my bike on the front? What do you think? Just thinking about new adventures.
Thanks Rob! You can strap a bike to the front of the Rebel 2K, but there are other Anfibio packrafts available (like the Delta MX) which are better suited to that - they're a bit longer and so are more comfortable for sitting in it with a bike. Have a look at the Anfibio website: www.packrafting-store.de/Packrafts/Anfibio-packrafts/Anfibio-Delta-MX::735.html
@@HendrikMorkel Has this model à self-bailor option àvailable ? Thanks
HI hendrik, thank you for the review. I became enthousiastic and have a question: I saw a picture of the damage on the underside of your packraft. Was this immediately after one trip? How does the anfibio hold up so far? Would you buy it again?
we are planning on going to Finland by the way! :) Any recommendations?
Is this robust or easily can be punctured when you go in white water with it a bit?
Hi,
Which packraft would you advice for using solo (occasionally for 2 persons) on sea water, lake or rivers (class 3)?I intended to get à self-bailor One... Thanks in advance for your reply
Hei :) By two persons you mean two adults or one adult and a child?
For sea water, lakes and rivers the Rebel 2K is great and where I have used it, I just don’t think you could fit two adults comfortably for long trips in there. An adult and a small child would be fine, but for anything 2 Persons I’d take a larger packraft.
@@HendrikMorkel Thanks à lot for your reply.. It would be for 2 adults, Just exploring creeks on coast to take photos.. No self-bailor option àvailable ? Good job.. 👍
I'm thinking about using a packraft as a support dingy in a sailboat... Anyone had tried this?
Would you recommend it for bikerafting? Which packraft do you think works best with bike?
Hi, for my opinion, the Rebel 2K it's not suitable for bikerafting. The best Bikerafting-Packraft so far is the Alpacka Caribou. It's especially design for bikerafting. BR Tom.
I am very happy bikerafting with the MRS Nomad S1, which allows an optional storage traditionally in front on the bow, but ALSO securely in the back for an open view.
Are you able to store your bike at this packcraft ?
Hendrik Morkel How long are you?
175 cm 😊
@@HendrikMorkel Perfect, as me! Is it comfortable enough for long distance on multiweek hikes? Can you stretch your leg fully in the boat?
