Made at the foot of the Alpes
Made at the foot of the Alpes
Our packrafts are designed and manufactured in our workshop, in the south of France. There are several reasons for this choice:
First of all, total control of the manufacturing process means high-performance, durable and innovative products. Also, fewer kilometers traveled by raw materials is better for the planet. Finally, jobs created in rural areas are good for employment.
Quality
Quality
The strength of your packraft depends as much on the quality of the materials used and the manufacturing process as on the thickness of the fabric. Also, in order to offer you light, robust and high-performance products, we source suppliers unanimously recognized for the quality of their products.
Each packraft is manufactured and thoroughly tested before being delivered to you. We use HF (High Frequency) welding technology to assemble the different parts of your packraft, the most durable welding process.

Eco-conception
Eco-conception
Let's be honest, your packraft is not an "ecological" product per se. The raw materials used come from the petrochemical industry, which is not really known for being green. Unfortunately, we have not yet found an ecological alternative to these materials, nor a coated fabric from recycling.
However, we are involved in an eco-design approach: Choice of raw materials and their origin, manufacturing process, delivery, after-sales service, we do our utmost to limit our ecological footprint throughout the life cycle of your packraft and to maximize its lifespan.
Fix it. Keep it.
Fix it. Keep it
A piece of metal has punctured your packraft ? Take it easy, we offer a repair service on our models. Your packraft will leave our workshop brand new, with just a scar. Call it a sign of your adventure!

Fabric
Fabric
Most inflatable kayaks are made of fabric coated with PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), a cheap but environmentally harmful material that is less durable than its cousin TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane). The choice was quick, we opted for TPU, 3 to 4 times more expensive but more resistant to the harshness of nature and more respectful of the planet.
INNOVATION
INNOVATION
We work actively to offer you innovative products, always keeping in mind the following requirements: performance, lightness, durability, safety.
Our ambition is to develop a range of packrafts adapted to your needs, from navigation at sea to the descent of rapids through the ride in calm waters.
We invite you to send us your ideas, remarks, criticisms (...), even the most crazy ones, and thus contribute to creating products that look like you.

Our suppliers
Our suppliers
Most of our suppliers are European. Ideally, we would like to source exclusively from France and neighboring countries, but this is currently impossible. Even before the origin of the materials, our primary concern is their quality, in order to offer you high-performance and durable products. Our suppliers are thus among the world leaders in their respective fields and manufacture high quality products that perfectly meet your needs.

Aussi, afin de réduire au maximum notre impact sur l’environnement, nous nous engageons à :
– Acheter nos matières premières en Europe, afin de limiter l’empreinte carbone liée à leur transport
– Offrir des produits durables dans le temps. Cela passe par l’utilisation de matières premières de qualité et un process de fabrication éprouvé. Nous pourrions faire plus vite et moins cher, nous préférons faire mieux au même prix
– En cas de crevaison, effectuer la réparation à prix coûtant (transport A/R et main d’œuvre) si vous êtes dans l’incapacité de réparer votre bateau vous-même
Par ailleurs, et même si nous n’avons aucune prise là-dessus, nous vous invitons à adopter des modes de transport alternatifs lorsque vous partez en expédition. Allez-y à vélo, en trottinette, faites du covoiturage ou du stop, prenez le train (…). C’est écologique et tellement plus fun que de faire le trajet tout seul en voiture !
