Can packrafting be reinvented? With the Anfibio Rebel 2K it might be so. Extremely portable, versatile and reliable, the boat remembers the core properties of a packraft! Stowed away, the Rebel 2K hardly takes up more space than a 2L water bottle in a backpack and yet has all the features for real adventures. Maybe the Rebel 2K is the right packraft to start into the season 2020.
