Pakboats has reopened the Quest theme for this season and is now showing a kayak that has been perfected in many detail solutions.
With the new Quest 150 Pakboats has made a real coup: The combination of a rigid construction with a simple and quick assembly. The whole thing is combined with good driving characteristics and a weight, which is typical for Pakboats: just 14.1 kg at a length of 455 cm! This has been achieved by the light and extremely robust PU skin material. The frame is reduced to a minimum and has a simple and efficient clamping mechanism.
The PU-coated deck is included in the scope of delivery and allows the stable attachment of a spray skirt. The Quest 150 can also be paddled open, i. e. without a deck, as the seat structure is installed completely independent of it. In addition to the advantage of easy loading, the Quest almost gives you a sit-on-top feeling, although it will most certainly be used as a touring kayak in its closed form.
Unlike the Puffins, the Quest is much more designed for touring, has a sportier boat shape and includes a deck. The Quest has its place between the leisure-oriented Puffins and professional touring kayaks in combination with an unbeatable small pack size in sports bag format, easy and fast assembly and a very light weight.
The Quest 150 is the ideal boat for the more ambitious paddler.
