Kokopelli Nirvana Spraydeck Packraft with TiZip - Yellow

Kokopelli Nirvana Spraydeck with TiZip - The Nirvana Spraydeck is designed to keep you high-and-dry while running challenging whitewater. Spraydecked packrafts are best for keeping you dry & warm, surfing bigger features without swamping (and getting rejected), and have extra reinforcement in the wear-areas for bikepacking. It performs best in Class I-III rivers and (new for 2020) features our 840d DuPontTM Kevlar Aramid-Nylon Blend reinforced floor system. Weighing 11.1lbs (5.0kgs) and packing down to the size of a sleeping bag, the Nirvana is perfect for whitewater, backcountry trips, hiking, bikepacking, and multi-day adventures. 

Durability and performance are pivotal, which is why the Nirvana is built from our toughest lightweight material. It features our 210d TPU Nylon sidewalls and proprietary 840d DuPontTM Kevlar® Aramid-Nylon Blend floor system.  The seams are first stitched and then welded with double-reinforced 1in (2.5cm) wide seam tape. Additionally, the pontoon-to-floor attachment point is glued to the sidewall and then reinforced with v-seam tape around the entire interior of the packraft.

Whitewater Series packrafts also have an additional 3in (7.6cm) of floor material coverage on the sidewalls for extra reinforcement and protection.  The Inflatable Seat is made from 210 denier Diamond-Ripstop Nylon and uses a Stem Valve. This keeps you comfortable, improves paddling position, and allows for deeper, more efficient paddle strokes.

For the main pontoon, the Nirvana features a Leafield D7 valve, the most durable valve on the planet. The same valve as used in all full-size rafts, the Leafield is made from roto-molded plastic and is threaded and screwed together, not welded or glued. Meaning your valve will never come un-welded or fall apart. 

The Nirvana is one-chambered (main-pontoon), has a moderate trim, aggressive rocker on the bow, and a large-volume stern. Combined with the extra-large 12in (30cm) diameter pontoons and higher floor-to-sidewall attachment point, the Nirvana is perfect for crushing whitewater and hauling gear safely.The adjustable kayak-style EVA Backband offers superior back-support while increasing paddling power. Leave the backband at home to cut weight.
