"Easy assembly, packs nicely into the provided bag, and is light weight. The only downside is that the pole has a weird texture to it due to the composite material it's made from, but I'm sure that will be worn in with time."
"This seems to be a well built solid paddle but a tad heavy over all"
"Have yet to get out on the water, but o am tell this is half the weight of the paddle I have been using. Feels great!"
"Much better than the cheap versions I get at the local sporting goods store. I especially like the 4-piece breakdown. Way better to hike with."
"Worked just as advertised and the right weight/length to get me where I needed to go!"
"outstanding"
"I love that I can break this in half and roll this paddle up in my packraft. It’s relatively lightweight, works well and fits on the roof box for adventures. The button clicks with ease so my fingers don’t hurt when I try to break down the paddle."
"The raft is fun to use and is packed with just the right amount of features. However, on rivers it wants to flip around and go backwards, and so requires constant course corrections. That's made worse on shallow rivers where you can't use the fin. That handling characteristic gets old on multi-day float trips."
"This paddle is light, small and sturdy. Does exactly what you want it to do. When I'm out fishing it gets me around and doesnt get in the way. I only use it on flat water so maybe that's why. My only question is: does the shorter side go up or down? I think down."
"This is my 4th alpine paddle. They break down nicely and fit into my 50L pack without any issues. I like that I can turn it into a 3 piece for back country lake missions."
