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
I Ordered a microraft Monday and got it By express at the door before lunch Tuesday :) super communication and Friendly people. I am very satisfied with the quality of the packtaft ! A very good option !
Quick response from Packraft on personal inquiry. Very helpful with shipping and pleasant personal contact. Can definitely recommend shopping at Packraft. Packraft works flawlessly as intended, both in lakes and protected waters in the archipelago in Norway. Very quick to go from paddling to walking (under 5 min)!
After much research, the choice fell on MRS Micro. I got good information from Martin and the delivery was fast. For me who is 161 low, the size S is absolutely super, and with a large hiking bag on the deck it becomes much more directional stable. I have tried it over several days, and am very pleased. Easy to pack, quick to inflate, nice to fish from, fun to paddle, and as far as I can see, the quality is good in materials, seams, welding and general waterproofness. With the Microraft, a number of new possibilities have opened up for where to go on a trip.
Perfect for those who like water and spontaneous wilderness adventures. Have now been out with my partner and experienced nature along the Nittiälven and Voxnan. I am very impressed with how durable this craft is against stones. Smooth delivery in addition!
Bought mrs microraft medium and got it on promised time without any problems. Have only been out on a 2 day trip so far but with very light and fun paddling. Worked well in waves and wind of 17 m/s. Only downside is that it is slightly too short for me to feel comfortable, I am 183 cm tall.
