Performance Packrafts

The Ultimate Adventure Race Packraft

The Barracuda R2 Pro is the ultimate packraft upgraded from the MRS Barracuda R2. Reinforced fabric improves durability, while added spray deck or self bailing floor gives it white water potential.

The Barracuda R2 Pro comes with an Internal Storage System (ISS, including 2 dry bags).

Choose between a removable deck or self bailing floor. The removable spray deck could be easily closed or opened with two waterproof zippers. The self bailing floor lets water out in prolonged whitewater sections.

Best Choice For Family Paddling

The Barracuda R2 looks like a canoe, but has the mobility and portability of a packraft. Compared to the MRS Adventure X2, Barracuda R2 is longer and narrower. The longer length of the bow and the stern makes it streamlined for better tracking. At the same time, the Barracuda R2 also provides great inner storage space and high buoyancy (while being only 20% heavier than the Adventure X2). The stern is equipped with a detachable fin to improve its stability, which dramatically improves tracking.

This fast and efficient packraft was used by the Swedish Hamilton Adventure team to win Nordic Islands Adventure Race (NIAR).

Speedy Flat Water Packraft

Nomad S1 is the fastest MRS solo packraft thanks to its long and streamlined shape. The narrower hull not only reduces drag, but also lets you paddle the packraft more efficiently. We use detachable skegs to increase the overall stability, which minimizes lateral swing and improves speed in still water.

Models are available with and without the spraydeck. The multi-function D-type sprayskirt has a detachable zipper and Velcro which allows easy spraydeck closure when the temperature drops.

Most water will be blocked when the spray skirt is closed.

Longer Than Barracuda R2

The Fin Whale is a newly designed high-capacity packraft. The hull is constructed from 420D reinforced nylon TPU material for optimal rigidity.

The 210D version is NOT available, and NO multicolor options.

The raft’s length has been increased, while a fully streamlined shape has been adopted for improved performance. Compared to the Barracuda R2, the interior space has increased by 30%, and the distance between the front and rear seats offers more space for paddling.

The middle seat of the packraft features a front-to-back adjustment, providing flexible space for carrying cargo or accommodating kids/pets.

The rear seat has been moved slightly forward compared to the Barracuda R2, balancing the weight distribution with the extended packraft length. There’s also additional usable space behind the rear seat.

Fin Whale holds a design patent.

Weight and Material

*Advised Paddler's Weight:

This refers to the maximum recommended weight for a single paddler. Since the paddler’s weight is more concentrated, it could cause the packraft’s hull to deform under stress. When approaching this weight limit, increasing air pressure can help alleviate the strain, but the material’s load will also increase. The suggested weight is generally lower than the packraft’s total recommended capacity.

**Advised Capacity:

This value represents the recommended total load the packraft can carry, including the paddler and gear. However, this doesn’t mean the packraft will sink once this limit is exceeded. In fact, it still has significant buoyancy. That said, exceeding this limit may affect the packraft’s maneuverability, stability, material load, and water resistance.

Tips for Comfort

• To enhance comfort, the seat cushion’s air pressure can be adjusted to reduce inflation, which will allow it to better fit the body and also lower the seat’s height, providing better support for the backrest.
• Inflation Recommendations: It’s recommended to inflate the packraft to a pressure of 2.5-3 psi (adjusting based on weather conditions and water temperature changes).
