Adventure as a duo
Lara Craft
1,140.00€ – 1,505.00€
Reckless and infinitely curious, Lara Croft will take you on a discovery of the mysteries of the world, from Alpine torrents to Scandinavian fjords.
With a rare versatility, it offers both excellent gliding in calm water – probably the best of all the two-seater packrafts on the market – and great control in technical rivers. Handy and stable, it will cross class III rapids without flinching.
Lara is convertible into a single-seater packraft in its "removable deck" configuration. Prefer the fixed deck if you want to stay perfectly dry in white water.
Recommended for : Lacs, navigation côtière, rivières modérées à difficiles (classe III). Toutes celles et ceux qui souhaitent un packraft biplace polyvalent, à l’aise à la fois en eau calme et en haute rivière.

WHO IS LARA ?
Technical specifications
Our packrafts are handcrafted in our workshop, based in the south of France, between the Drôme river and the Vercors mountains.
CONSTRUCTION
We don't use a drop of glue to stick our boats together: each piece of fabric is completely welded to the rest using high frequency welding, a technology capable of giving the best results in terms of strength and durability. Each weld is actually stronger than the fabric itself.
Tri-axial reinforcements in 210 denier nylon are welded all around the interior of the packraft to better distribute the forces on the boat and guaranty a strong structure.
MATERIALS
In the Classic version, Lara's sidewalls are made of 210 denier high tenacity nylon with a double coat of TPU. The floor is 840 denier nylon with a double TPU coating, which is extremely resistant to abrasion.
In the Armor version, Lara is built with 420 denier high tenacity nylon with double TPU coating sidewalls. The floor is 840 denier nylon, also with an abrasive resistant double TPU coat.
Our packrafts are fitted with D7 Leafield valves, the most robust and durable valve around. The D7 therefore has a lifetime warranty.
We use Superseal Tizip's™ for the optional internal storage system as well as stainless steel buckles for the tie downs. Our cushions come with one way, low profile, valves that have a quick deflation tab.
REMOVABLE SPRAY-DECK (OPTION)
For a more versatile boat or if you want to paddle alone while seating at the center of the packraft, go for the removable spray deck. A single coaming spray-deck can be made for those who want to paddle solo and stay dry (on demand).
INTERNAL STORAGE (OPTION)
You are going for a long term expedition and need to carry a lot of gear and supplies? Go for the internal storage system and you will be able to store all or some of your kit inside the boat

HOW TO CHOOSE MY PACKRAFT ?
We build your packrafts to your design and therefore have limited stock. Our lead time can vary from one to five months but is subjected to the volume of orders. If you would like to find out the exact delay, please give us a call. In any case, if you have a trip or expedition coming up with a cut-off date, it’s best to order as early as possible!
Available colours to choose from:
– Yellow & Grey
– Orange & Grey
– Red & Grey
– Grey & Black
– Camouflage (80€ extra)
– Orange & Black (Armor fabric, 165€ extra)
It is also possible to completely customise the look of your boat, by adding a 50€ surcharge. Until our e-shop is modified, please state your desired colours in the comments when you order.
The internal storage system consists of an airproof zipper (Superseal by Tizip) that is welded to the back of your packraft. By opening the zip you have access to the inside of the boat and can store you gear (tent, sleeping bags, backpack…) safely. Think about it like turning your packraft into a giant dry-bag. You have over 150L to store your gear. More than enough space for even those that can’t leave home without the kitchen sink. Zip it up and you are off!
The internal storage system is extremely practical for those who go on an expedition over several days or weeks and need to bring a large quantity of equipment and provisions. It is also of great interest during bike-rafting outings where the front of the packraft is already occupied by your bike. During day trips, it is not so essential, but simplifies life.
Please remember that the Tizip needs to be treated delicately and cleaned regularly. Because of this is is excluded from our warranty, like other manufacturers. If you zip is damaged or dirty it will leak slightly. In conclusion, if you are not someone who is not very careful with their equipment, maybe you should think carefully about adding this option.
A removable deck is very similar to a classic spray deck, but you can remove it by unzipping it from the main body of the packraft.
What are the advantages? You will have a more versatile packraft, and will be able to paddle with or without a spraydeck. Leave it at home if you want to save some extra grams (about 1400 grams for the spray deck + spray skirt + backrest) ! Please note that some water can penetrate the water resistant zippper, and is therefore not as waterproof as the fixed spraydeck. We recommend it up to class II rivers.
