Anfibio Rebel Duo Packraft

Anfibio Rebel Duo Packraft

The Rebels’ spraydeck is distinctive. The Duo is no exception. The J-shaped closure, long chimneys, and sealed seams provide adequate coverage, ease of use, and mobility. The spraydeck expands the range of use to include cold, rain, spray, and wind. This is not only for comfort, but also for safety. The closure is not completely waterproof (some water can get in above the zipper velcro), but it is adequate in most situations. The spraydeck can also be removed to create an open boat. This makes the packraft appealing for summer touring in hot climates or with frequent exits, transfers, or sightings.

In addition, the fin mount has been doubled, i.e. placed in front and back. On calm waters, one or two fins can be added for tracking, paddle efficiency, and speed.

Applications

The Rebel Duo, like its solo counterpart, is versatile and dependable in use, whether river touring, splashy waters, or lake. It is a boat for a variety of purposes. The weight of the boat, calculated per person, is still suitable for backpacking, as befits a packraft. Trekking tours are thus a feasible application.

Setup

A tightly inflated boat is required for a relatively long model with two people as the center of mass or force. For this purpose, a hand pump is appropriate.

Flexi-Seat System.

To accommodate paddling partners of various sizes, the seats and front backrest are individually attached to the boat via a fixation (similar to the Omega C2). Thread the cord through the seat retainer so that a boat-side tab is at both ends.

Support Cushion

The front backrest also acts as a support cushion for the spraydeck. This keeps water from pooling in the middle of the deck (between the partners). It should ideally be tightly inflated. Adjust the backrest to fit your body size and available space. The attachment tabs are directly beneath the spraydeck.

TubeBags (optional)

TubeBags are standard on the Rebel Duo, allowing for extended river trips with a lot of luggage ranging from family vacations to expeditions. The two centrally located, IPX7 waterproof luggage zippers with directly backed and airtight inner pockets provide a luggage storage space of 70 l each, directly in the tube.

• Because of its design, the system is highly resistant to dirt and wear, and it cannot leak through the zipper.
• The luggage is automatically positioned and secured to prevent slipping.
• When compared to exterior bags, transporting inside ensures a low center of gravity and protection from moisture and wind.
• The boat’s transport capacity has been significantly increased.

Stow the luggage (fill the inside pockets first), then close the zippers, and finally inflate the main air chamber. When disassembling, start by opening the main valve! Then unzip the zippers and remove the luggage.

Material

The Rebel Duo is made of a special fabric (210/840den urethane nylon), which has a high tear and abrasion resistance despite its light weight. The tube coating’s smooth, shiny surface is particularly scratch resistant. Furthermore, the Rebel Duo has an overlapping bottom that protects the side tubes.

All of the seams on the boat are fully welded, and the tube seams are also sewn, resulting in a completely glue-free construction. This reduces weight, costs, and pollution! We are so confident in our construction that we offer a 3-year warranty on materials and workmanship.

Of course, no inflatable is indestructible, but in the (unlikely) event of damage, field repairs with LifePatch can be completed in a matter of minutes. Aquasure, a liquid urethane sealant, can be used to seal small pinholes.

Carbon footprint

Since 2018, all Anfibio Packrafts produced have been carbon offset through selected climate protection projects.
