MRS Microraft Hybrid Deck
The MRS Microraft is Micro Rafting Systems' best-selling model and is known for its exceptional versatility. Its low weight and compact format make the packraft easy to carry in a backpack, while it is built to handle demanding waters, calmer lakes, and flowing rivers.
The packraft is ideal for hikers and fishermen, but is also widely used by photographers, hunters, and other outdoor enthusiasts who want to be able to move smoothly across water. The Microraft Hybrid Deck also works very well in rapids, provided that the correct safety equipment is used (helmet, life jacket, and dry suit).
The design of the MRS Microraft is characterized by parallel tubes, an extended stern, and a slightly upward-pointing, pointed bow, providing a balanced combination of stability, maneuverability, and glide.
MRS Microraft is suitable for paddlers of all heights, but for shorter people (under approx. 180 cm) we recommend MRS Advanced Footrests for increased comfort and better paddling ergonomics.
chapel
The canopy on the MRS Microraft Hybrid Deck is designed with a cockpit combined with a paddle skirt, which provides a virtually dry paddling experience. In dry or warm conditions, the canopy can be easily rolled off by opening the longitudinal YKK zippers and then attaching the canopy to the front of the packraft.
The cockpit is stabilized by the included frame, over which the paddle skirt is pulled when paddling in wetter conditions. This provides a tight and stable solution that is suitable for both calmer waters and more demanding environments.
MRS Microraft is also available with an alternative canopy solution – see MRS Microraft Velcrodeck.
Fena
All MRS packrafts come with a removable fin that improves course stability and contributes to more efficient paddling and higher top speeds, especially on open water and longer distances.
ISS (Internal Storage System)
The MRS Microraft Hybrid Deck comes with a pre-installed internal storage system (ISS). A waterproof TIZIP zipper allows the packraft's tubes to be used as internal storage space, making it possible to transport large amounts of equipment without taking up seating space or affecting the paddler's freedom of movement.
MRS uses TIZIP MasterSeal 10, the most robust chain in the TIZIP range, which is pressure tested up to 500 mbar for maximum operational reliability and tightness.
Advantages of internal storage systems (ISS)
-
All equipment packed in the ISS is kept completely dry.
-
Packing in the tubes lowers the center of gravity, providing increased stability on the water.
-
Significantly larger packing volume compared to the corresponding model without ISS
Things to consider
One limitation of the ISS is that the packing cannot be accessed without deflating the packraft. The system is therefore particularly well suited for transporting camping equipment such as tents, sleeping bags, and most of the food supplies for the trip.

25 reviews of MRS Microraft Hybrid Deck - versatile solo packraft with advanced canopy
Up with the blinds - Sun out there! Get out your backpack, pack coffee, a sandwich and a MRS micro raft, then just go out and choose a watercourse. It doesn't get any easier than that! Perfect apartment boat for us without storage space, tack rail or trailer. I am genuinely happy with this brilliant boat. Chose between this MRS mircroraft (M) and MRS barracuda solo, the choice was then based on the weight and pack size. As I want to be able to combine paddling with hiking. With this packraft I can easily explore and discover new places without being afraid of long lifts or obstacles. Very satisfied with both the boat and the company Packraft Sverige.
After trying Packraft once, I was sold. It is so much easier to transport and it opens up a whole new outdoor life with hiking and paddling in a wonderful combination. My Packraft will have an equally given place in the backpack as the sleeping bag and the kitchen...!
Just discovered packrafts and bought myself a MRS Microraft. Fast delivery after ordering, easy to take along, air filling fast and size perfect (small - am 172cm tall). Now hoping for nice weather and warm streams for summer packraft adventures!
Have used the MRS Microraft for a number of trips this summer and am very happy with the purchase. The packraft is easy to pack, feels very stable on the water and has been easy to paddle both in flowing rivers and on windy lakes and rivers. The materials feel sturdy and packing in the tubes really keeps the pack completely dry. I am 191 cm and sit comfortably in it without footrests.
