category 5

Color Options [mouse over a color below to see the kayak in that color]:



We know what we think about our Cat 5. But listen to what the folks at Outside Magazine said in their 2010 Summer Buyer’s Guide:

“Paddling to get a workout? This lightweight performance touring kayak absolutely flies when you put your head down and hammer. ‘It sprang from stop to go like a racehorse,’ reported one tester after zipping across Lake Champlain and back. The Cat 5's deck is arced high to accommodate bent knees and an aggressive body position, but, at 23 inches wide, it's stable enough for a beginner/intermediate paddler to grow into. Plus, with one rear hatch and deck bungees, there's just enough storage for an overnight.”

Frankly, we couldn’t have said it better ourselves.
