A packraft is one of those pieces of gear with a name that tells you exactly what it is: a raft you can pack into a bag. These lightweight rafts are designed to fit in a backpack so you can access remote bodies of water on foot or by plane, bike, or even public transportation. Take the Kokopelli Rogue-Lite. It weighs just over five pounds and packs down to about the size of a roll of paper towels. We’ve got a gear list and tips to help get you on the path to packrafting.
