MRS Microraft Hybrid Deck
The MRS Microraft is Micro Rafting Systems' best seller. The greatest strength of the Microraft models is their versatility. With its light weight and small size, you can easily take it with you on your adventure in your backpack while it can handle both rough waters, calmer lakes and rivers.
The packraft is ideal for hikers and fishermen, but photographers, hunters and people interested in the outdoors in general will also benefit greatly from the packraft. The Microraft Hybrid Deck is also excellent in the rapids - with the right equipment of course(helmet, life jacket, dry suit).
The design of the MRS Microraft is characterized by the parallel tubes, the large extended tail and the slightly upright, pointed nose.
The MRS Microraft is suitable for people of all heights, but if you are shorter (under 180 cm) it is recommended that you install the MRS Advanced Footrest for greater comfort.
chapel
The canopy of the MRS Microraft Hybrid Deck is designed with a cockpit that combines with a skirt, for an almost completely dry paddling experience. In dry or hot weather, for example, the canopy can be rolled off by opening the longitudinal YKK zippers and then attaching the canopy to the bow.
The cockpit is stabilized by the supplied frame, over which the supplied skirt is pulled when paddling in wet weather.
The MRS Microraft is also available with a different type of canopy - see MRS Microraft Velcrodeck.
Fena
All MRS packrafts come with a removable fin to increase course stability and maximum speed when paddling.
ISS (Internal Storage System)
The MRS Microraft Hybrid Deck is supplied with a pre-installed internal storage system, known as ISS. This means that with the help of a waterproof zipper (made by German TIZIP), the tubes of the packraft can be used as internal storage space. It is now possible to transport large amounts of equipment inside the packraft without taking up any available seating space.
MRS uses TiZip's best chain in its packrafts, Masterseal 10, which withstands pressure tests up to 500 mbar.
Transporting packing inside the pack truck has many advantages:
- Everything carried inside the ISS is guaranteed to stay dry. Two (huge) waterproof packing bags with roll closure are also included with the purchase. The bags have a size of 130x30cm.
- Packing the tubes through the ISS lowers the center of gravity, resulting in a more stable ride.
- A huge increase in packable surface compared to the same model without ISS.
The disadvantage of the ISS is that it is not possible to access the packing inside the packraft without letting the air out. Therefore, the ISS is particularly suitable for transporting camp equipment such as tents, sleeping bags, most of the food for the trip, etc.

25 reviews of MRS Microraft Hybrid Deck - versatile solo packraft with advanced canopy
I stood for a long time in the choice and agony between this or Alpacka - Alpaca (S). It became Microraft in size S. I am 168cm and sit really well except that I do not get proper foot support in front but with a backpack or similar it is no problem. At the same time, it is quite nice to be able to stretch out my legs properly. I'm used to paddling a 51cm wide kayak so felt somewhat unfamiliar at first. I can only imagine how wide an Alpacka would be experienced as it has larger air tubes. According to spec 104cm in width against MRS 87cm. Mine was however "only" 83cm. For canoeing, I can imagine that a wider boat is preferable but for me it will be mostly flat paddling and then the MRS is a better choice! Great quality, good customer service and great service! Hope to get many miles in the boat during the summer / fall.
I have only ridden Canadians before, but the feeling with the "packraft" is that happiness can be bought for money! Took a trip during the cold Easter weekend (around zero) and floated through snowy forest landscape like any seabird. With a sleeping pad in the bottom, the cold was not a major problem. Bought a M for me (180cm/70kg), S for partner (170cm/70kg). Both fit well but can be tight for wider people.
I've been thinking about trying packrafting for a long time, but put it off because of the investment. But now that Packraft has started, I took hold of the matter and rented a packraft. Crazy fun!!! Will there be more trips? Everything works perfectly, the stuff came on time, well packed and whole and clean... Absolutely just ++, good service and fair prices, highly recommended!!!
I have for 3-4 years had a desire to one day buy a packraft, there is a lot of money to be spent when you add it all up - the option of doing a gray import was close at hand. After first renting an MRS Medium for 2 days to now buying and having it delivered, I am now extremely pleased that I 1. struck and bought one 2. bought via Packraft and did not import it myself. When I rented, everything worked completely without negative remarks - the stuff arrived on time, was whole and clean. When I received my purchased MRS Medium, there was a minor fault with a valve to the cockpit itself, a fault that could easily have been fixed with a small bead of suitable glue. I made a note of this via email on a Friday afternoon and by Tuesday afternoon my brand new replacement packraft was available for collection. Had I made a gray import via, for example, the USA, I would have had to contact the dealer myself and I myself would have had to send back and explain etc. I am simply very satisfied with the product and extremely satisfied with the level of service and availability.
Flexible, easy to handle and durable small packraft that can withstand wear and tear. A large backpack fits easily strapped to the bow. I am 167 cm and sat comfortably in the packraft. Rented the Medium size the first time but felt it was too big. Perfect boat to carry with you on the adventure!
