Kokopelli Launches XPD Packraft: “Most Versatile Yet”

Launched today, Kokopelli’s new XPD packraft blends the durability of the Recon with the packability of the Rogue packraft. The new XPD is designed to be stable, still reasonably packable, and ideal for a wide range of activities. Although Kokopelli’s Rogue and Rogue-Lite may be more appropriate for bikerafting, the XPD looks like it may appeal to newer paddlers or those who tend to be hard on their gear. The XPD was initially developed for the rigours of search and rescue, military, and rental programs, but as Kokopelli CEO explains, “Once in development, we quickly realized that is what everyday adventurers needed too.”
