Kokopelli

Twain-Lite Packraft + TiZip

The Kokopelli Twain-Lite Packraft is our pick when we need to haul extra gear or a four-legged paddle buddy—and this version includes the optional TiZip feature. This flatwater packraft features PVC construction and a nylon-reinforced TPU floor for abrasion resistance, so it excels on multi-day trips on lakes, calm oceans and inlets, and class I rivers. It packs down small so that we can carry it easily on land. The new bow and stern profiles work with the removable tracking fin to provide more efficient paddling when it's time to cross bodies of water.

The TiZip feature is an air-tight, watertight zipper that lets us store our gear inside the Twain-Lite raft. At 21 inches, that zipper makes it easy to slip our tent, sleeping bag, and other gear inside the pontoon to keep them dry and save us space on multi-day trips.
