At 8’6” long, the Expedition performs well in lakes or moving water. Its streamlined shape and extended stern improves glide and tracking, while the i-beam floor adds rigidity, flotation and overall performance. For increased tracking, it includes Aquaglide's weedless, ultralight, quick-release fin.

The Expedition 85 is constructed from a rugged, double-sided TPU nylon, a heavy duty fabric-reinforced PVC with excellent abrasion resistance that is specifically engineered to take a beating.

Numerous attachment points - bungee deck lacing and molle plates - make it easy to mount tool organizers, gear bags, radios, cameras and phones.

Adjustable side straps on the inflatable seat and backrest allow one to customize for comfort.
