About the original
The Advanced Elements PackLite is an 8-foot inflatable packraft-style kayak built around a PVC tarpaulin hull with a welded inflatable floor and preformed bow and stern panels for tracking, packing down to about 4 lbs in an included carry bag and inflating with a hand pump. Advanced Elements was founded in 1999 in Benicia, California and has specialized in portable inflatable and folding watercraft since launch, selling the PackLite direct and through outdoor retailers for around $299. The SS18 Supreme collab version is the same hull with box logo branding on the deck and a co-branded carry bag, retailing at $498 on drop day.
