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
Great service, great products, Mine is small is 177 and the road 74kilo fits me great?
4.5/5 points.
Packraft Sverige has fast delivery and my MRS Microraft felt directly cruel in terms of quality! It takes up little space, is easy to inflate, and extremely fun to paddle with! I also bought a Celtic Paddle and a NRS ninja life jacket. I am extremely happy with both.
The only minus I have is that the canopy leaks from the right side, the seam between the canopy bracket and the gasket. I have sealed this myself with liquid sole/aquaseal. Which I am convinced will make it tight!
Almost full pot for Packraft Sverige
A fantastic packraft! It's very easy to assemble upside down, takes up relatively little space and weighs ridiculously little.
I am currently on a fly fishing trip in the valleys where packrafter is included. It gives a whole new dimension to the adventure.
NOTE! The cover over the raft (spray cover) only has taped seams in the middle sections. Along the zipper (right side and behind the back) the tape is missing. This means that water collects on the right side and then runs down the right hip. This is for light use (not rain or rapids). The tip is to impregnate the surfaces / seams before use. Only had the defense's skin ointment now, but when I get home it will be something wax-based. You take what you have ...
I want to thank Packraft for a superb service and advice before my purchase, first class!
I bought my micro raft in size L, I am 186cm and it feels just on the edge of sitting comfortably, keep in mind that these boats are quite narrow up to the feet. Otherwise, the boat is of excellent quality and workmanship, actually better than I had imagined. The boat is easily packed into a larger backpack 90-110L if you want to bring a tent and everything else for a couple of nights of adventure on a desert island or the like. Of course, a smaller backpack works if you are just going out for the day, keep in mind that even the paddles take their place. Have had time to use the boat now in both lake, river and lakes, I have also had a couple of real groundings
against sharp stones, the material lasts, not a hint of scratches, etc. Are you adventurous like me and want to combine hiking with paddling and get further into the wilderness in an easier way? Hesitate no more, buy!
