Alpacka Rafts: 15% Off Sitewide
Packrafting mainstay Alpacka Raft’s boats are premium but pricey — it takes a lot of material tech and clever design to get an inflatable boat into a package svelte enough to carry on a multiday backpacking trip. That’s why you should jump on the brand’s 15% off sale (deals run through December 31).
If you’re new to packrafting or paddling in general, I recommend the Classic, a boat that’s comfortable and stable but with enough chops to handle some light whitewater. It comes in three deck configurations (open, whitewater, and whitewater/open hybrid) and only weighs 5.5 pounds (size medium). And if you’ve already got some whitewater street cred, Alpacka’s got plenty of edgier, more performance-oriented boats to choose from.
