Classic Packraft
Microraft series is a classic packraft type. After a long product testing period and regards to customer feedback, MRS improved the technology and redesigned the balance of the bow and stern in the Microraft series. The redesign resulted in a packraft with a sharper and more streamlined appearance and significantly reduced water resistance. Our redesign also guarantees better buoyancy of the front hull, which means more luggage can be carried.
The standard Microraft series use a traditional velcrobased water protection system spraydeck (C-type). It allows the paddlers to enter the cabin and close the spraydeck quicker and more convenient. It blocks most of splashes, some water will enter the packraft inadvertently when the waves are too big.
The new E-deck (Essential Deck) is a lightweight spraydeck option for the Microraft series.
Key features:
- Easy to carry: no coaming frame required.
- Quick on and off: getting in and out of the packraft is faster and more convenient than with the C-deck.
- Ventilation mode: on long, warm paddles you can remove the rear deck and clip the front spraydeck onto both sides of your PFD. This still blocks most splashes while letting heat dissipate.
Note: the semi-open ventilation configuration is recommended only for calm or flatwater conditions.

- Measurement data may vary according to temperature and material difference, which is a normal phenomenon.
Internal Storage Bag (ISS Models)
Available on Microraft ISS models only.
Instructions for Use
1. Put equal weight within each storage bag on either side. As the bags cannot be accessed until deflation, only store items which do not require on-the-water access.
2. Put the luggage into the storage bag, fold the top of the bag, tighten the storage bag as much as possible, and then insert the buckle at the top opening.
3. Open the Tizip and put the storage bag inside the packraft tubes.
4. Unfasten the buckle at the top of the bag after the storage bags are inserted into the tubes, pass the buckles through the two tie downs and re-fasten the buckle.
Tie down fixings within the tubes can be used to fix the storage bags in place. This ensures that even as the packraft moves, the storage bags will not slide back and forth.

Adjustable footrest

Water-filled footrest



Function:
Water stored inside the footrest adds weight to the lower bow, minimizing yaw and pitching during paddling. With less drag than a bow-mounted skeg, it delivers smoother and more efficient forward motion.
Water-filling procedure:
1. Submerge the footrest in the water to scoop water inside. If the water level is low, use the paddle to assist.
2. Use the markings inside the footrest to estimate the desired water volume.
3. Fold and seal the end of the footrest.
4. Lay the footrest flat with the base of the hose at a relatively higher point.
Open the hose valve to release air. When the water level in the transparent hose exceeds approximately one-third of the hose height, close the valve.
5. Fold the end portion again and secure it tightly.
6. Place the footrest at the very front of the hull, pressing it firmly in place to serve as both ballast and a foot support.
Important Notes:
The tail end of the water-filled footrest must be folded at least four times to ensure a proper seal.
Air should be released through the upper hose as completely as possible. If air is not removed, the water inside the footrest may slosh, which can significantly reduce stability.
Excess air inside the footrest may also increase the risk of ballast water leakage.
Accessories
The Microraft ships with either the RSB2 or the Inflatable Backrest — the included backrest depends on the configuration ordered.
