I never heard of Alpacka kayaks until I read this post on Mountain Hardwear’s new blog about a trip circumnavigating Steamboat while fielding stares from people standing on downtown bridges. The Alpacka packraft rolls up to about the size of a 3-person tent and weighs only 4 pounds. Add the Alpacka deck for 11-ounces more and you can motor through rapids in the inflatable bathtub. It’s a pretty cool little boat, but it’ll set you back almost $800. It’s a lot of money, but apparently it’s more than just a pool toy—the little boat is popular for long backpacking trips and gaining access to unclimbed ranges.
