The Gumotex Solar Nitrilon Inflatable Kayak is a versatile watercraft designed for 1 or 2 paddlers, with the option to accommodate a third seat for a young passenger. It's a preferred choice for families, well-suited for inland waterways and sheltered coastal locations. Quick and easy adjustments allow seamless seating arrangements for one, two, or three individuals when opting for the additional seat.
Constructed with Gumotex's durable Nitrilon material, the Solar stands out as a stable and enjoyable tandem kayak. Its rigid build sets it apart from cheaper inflatables of similar size, providing enhanced paddling performance. Equipped with a tracking fin and featuring a long waterline, the Solar exhibits excellent straight-line tracking capabilities.
Ideal for flatwater scenarios like lakes and estuaries, the Solar also excels in sea conditions, slow-moving rivers, and gentle up to grade 2 white-water. With a generous carrying capacity of 270kg, it's a popular choice for those interested in overnight camping adventures. Weighing only 16kg, the Solar is easily portable to launch spots, and its rucksack-style waterproof backpack makes it convenient for transporting to remote waters for the more adventurous paddlers.
Gumotex inflatables boast the patented NITRILON® material, a composition of high-strength PES fiber with an outer layer of synthetic rubber and an inner layer of a mixture based on natural rubber. This material ensures high resistance to abrasion, aging, and UV exposure.
The Gumotex Solar comes with two seats and two footrests included. With the included fin, you can enhance the directional stability and maneuverability of the Gumotex Solar in the water. Additionally, you receive a repair kit for minor damages, a valve key, a sponge for cleaning, and a waterproof transport bag with a capacity of 100 liters. This allows you to conveniently store, maintain, and, of course, use your Gumotex Solar on the water.
The Gumotex Solar truly reaches its full potential with a rudder system, which enhances maneuverability and steering. In addition to essential accessories like paddles, pump, or life jacket, we also recommend considering a canoe cart. This makes it quick and easy to transport your Gumotex Solar to and from the water.
The Gumotex Solar can be easily set up in just a few minutes with a good air pump. It consists of 3 air chambers (one floor and two side chambers), all equipped with easy-to-use push-push valves. These are all inflated to 0.2 bar, starting with the side chambers. The included seats and footrests are already inflated after just a few pump strokes and quickly attached to the kayak. The seats of the Gumotex Solar have 2 separate air chambers, so the firmness of the cushion and backrest can be adjusted accordingly.
The Gumotex Solar can be paddled alone or with up to three people. When paddling solo, the Gumotex Solar offers plenty of room for gear, making it perfect for longer trips. Even with two people, there's still enough legroom, but the space for gear is more suitable for day trips. With three people, space is somewhat limited, but it's still possible for a leisurely outing with a child. For this, however, you'll need an additional seat for your Gumotex Solar.
Das Gumotex Solar besteht aus dem bewährten NITRILON®-Material, das für seine hohe Abriebfestigkeit, UV-Stabilität und Langlebigkeit bekannt ist. Diese Konstruktion hält auch regelmäßigen Einsätzen auf Flüssen, Kiesbänken oder leichtem Wildwasser stand, ohne dass das Material an Steifigkeit oder Zuverlässigkeit verliert.
Durch die glatte Oberfläche lässt sich das Solar schnell trocknen und mühelos reinigen. Bei guter Pflege bleibt das Boot über viele Jahre hinweg formstabil und voll einsatzfähig – ideal für Paddler, die ein langlebiges und wartungsarmes Luftkajak suchen.
Das Gumotex Solar lässt sich kompakt zusammenfalten und im mitgelieferten Transportsack verstauen. Dank seines moderaten Gewichts kann es problemlos getragen oder im Kofferraum transportiert werden. Die offene Konstruktion erleichtert zudem das vollständige Trocknen, was besonders auf Reisen praktisch ist.
Für den Weg vom Auto zum Wasser empfehlen wir einen Kanuwagen, mit dem sich das Solar auch über längere Distanzen bequem und rückenschonend bewegen lässt. Dadurch bleibt der Transport einfach – selbst wenn zusätzliches Gepäck an Bord ist.
