Luggage transport in the Packraft
- exposure to wind, water and rain
- limited load capacity (volume)
- high center of gravity
- Packraft Sidebags (TubeBag etc.)
- Internal Storage System (ISS)
- Roll Top Closure (RTC)
- Improved handling (low centre of gravity)
- Increased capacity (transport volume)
- Protection against moisture and wind
Currently available boats with Anfibio TubeBag: Anfibio Rebel 2K
1.2 Nortik sidebags
Currently available boats with ISS: MRS Microraft, MRS Alligator 2S (Pro), MRS Adventure X2, MRS Barracuda R2 (Pro) with ISS2: MRS Nomad S1*
3. Roll Top Closure (RTC)
With RTC opening (and closing) of the tube is done by a special roll top closure. The specially developed technology uses special materials to ensure that the roll closure is reliably sealed and thus enables even extended tours without any loss of pressure! The RTC is not comparable with the usual roll fasteners of simple luggage bags! As with the ISS, the entire interior space can be used for luggage transport. The weight difference between the Nano RTC and the Nano SL without RTC is 167g.
Currently available boats with RTC: Anfibio Nano RTC
