Anfibio Alpha XC – super light but durable

Anfibio Alpha XC

The Anfibio Alpha XC (Crosscountry), weighs only 1.5 kilograms and has a volume of 1.5 liters when rolled up. Despite its light weight, the packraft is made from the same robust and durable materials as Anfibio's other packrafts.

The Anfibio Alpha XC is similar to its big brother Anfibio Delta MX, but is smaller and lighter.

Area of use

Anfibio's packrafts are absolutely best suited for users who want to travel very light and for those who want to use their packraft as an aid/tool to get around in the wilderness. Maybe you need to paddle a bit on a river to get further on your hike, or cross a lake to reach the mountain you want to climb. Alpha XC is also a great tool for mining enthusiasts, geocachers, canyoneers and the like.

Alpha XC works best on completely calm waters. The packing weight is so small and light that you can always carry it in your bag on the bus, car, suitcase, or on your bike. Alpha should not be used for whitewater paddling.

Design

The Anfibio Alpha XC is symmetrically designed, which means that the bow and stern are designed in the same way. The tubes have a diameter of 25 cm, which is enough to carry up to 120 kilograms. The tubes are parallel to each other, which means that the packraft can achieve a relatively high speed, compared to several other manufacturers' models. All Anfibio packrafts are made of a very light and durable nylon material, further reinforced with a special surface treatment. 6 grabloops (attachment points) are placed at strategic locations on the packraft. The packer is equipped with the very simple and reliable Boston valve, also used by MRS.

Fin/skid

The packraft has an integrated fin. The fin improves the tracking stability of the packraft. If you are going to paddle over longer distances, where grounding is not a major risk, we highly recommend using the fin. If you know you will be paddling in shallow areas, we recommend you remove the fin to avoid damaging it.

Unimat

Alpha can be equipped with the optional Anfibio Unimat 150 accessory, which is an inflatable floor designed for smaller to normal-sized packrafts.

The floor improves paddling characteristics by providing increased stiffness in the bottom and throughout the boat, resulting in better glide and stability. The floor elevates the seating position for better visibility and comfort and insulates against cold and moisture. In addition, it can be used as a sleeping pad if needed.
