Take A Closer Look at NRS Inflatable Boats

We have made some changes to our Raft Series for 2006, upgrading them with better materials and additional accessories. We have also made our most popular styles (120, 130, 140) available in all series and our 142 and 150 available in our Expedition and Otter series. This allows you some flexibility in choosing what series is right for you.

We build all of our boats using world-class Pennel Orca® Fabric coated with DuPont® Hypalon®. We chose Pennel Orca® Hypalon® for both its durability and its resistance to abrasion, ultraviolet light and petroleum products. We chose DuPont® because only the best will do. No other material wears and lasts like our Hypalon®.




E-Series Rafts For those boaters who habitually venture out to battle the sharpest rocks, swiftest currents and generally ugliest conditions, NRS developed the “Expedition Series.” The features of this series include an extra heavy-duty floor and tubes constructed with 1670 denier/48 oz. Hypalon®, an additional wide swath of commercial-grade HD-40 floor armor, a four-chamber tube construction, 6-8 EasyCarry™ handles, 14 stainless steel 2" D-rings, removable thwarts with the exclusive NRS BAT™ (Batten Attachment Thwarts) System and an extra heavy-duty wear patch to ensure full protection.

NRS Inflatable Kayaks We hand craft each and every NRS Inflatable Kayak (IK) to exacting standards, with two styles offered – the MaverIK and Bandit. Both are built in either a single or tandem style. MaverIKs are designed for maximum performance, superb comfort and enhanced stability. Your weight on the floor creates a continuous curve that improves agility and the “Pillow” thwart provides extra lumbar support. In addition, the “Y” beam self-bailing floor creates a double keel for better tracking and stability. We build MaverIKs with 1100 denier, 41 oz. Hypalon® material to ensure years of use. Trouble-free Leafield™ fill and pressure relief valves provide safe and easy inflation and deflation. Bow and stern handles make transport a simple task. 10-year warranty, 5-year commercial The Bandit inflatable kayak is a cutting-edge boat that employs our tested MaverIK design with a very different material – Pennel 840 denier urethane coated nylon. The result is an ultra-light boat with amazing responsiveness on the water. Trouble-free Leafield™ fill and pressure relief valves provide safe and easy inflation and deflation; clip-in seats offer limitless adjustability, and a weight of 17 pounds (24 for the two-man). The Bandit is great for river-running, backcountry fishing and recreational boating – and is offered at a very affordable price. 3-year warranty, 3-year commercial MaverIK I & MaverIK II Bandit I & Bandit II Pre 2006 Material Comparison	MaverIK
