Ideal for whitewater enthusiasts, expedition paddlers, and those who frequently encounter rocky or shallow waterways. DuraTough canoes are built for those who prioritize durability above all else, providing a reliable and long-lasting platform for adventure.
DuraTough
Uncompromising Durability
DuraTough is synonymous with resilience. Its high-density polyethylene composition results in exceptional rigidity, preventing deformation under stress and impact. The material's inherent resistance to abrasion and UV damage ensures that the canoe maintains its structural integrity and aesthetic appeal over time. This construction is designed to absorb and distribute impact forces, minimizing the risk of punctures or cracks, even in the most challenging environments. DuraTough canoes offer a reassuringly solid feel, instilling confidence in paddlers who venture into demanding conditions
Ideal for recreational paddlers, solo adventurers, and those who frequently transport their canoes or need to portage. DuraLite canoes are perfect for calm lakes, gentle rivers, and leisurely explorations, offering a super-lightweight and agile paddling experience.
DuraLite
Super-Lightweight Performance
DuraLite is our super-lightweight construction, designed to provide paddlers with the ultimate in portability and ease of handling. It is a foam core construction, with a tough outer skin, and a medium density inside skin. This construction is lighter than our other constructions, while still maintaining a high level of durability. DuraLite canoes are incredibly responsive and agile, making them a joy to paddle on calm lakes, gentle rivers, and for those that are looking to carry their canoe for long distances. The foam core also provides added buoyancy and stiffness. demanding conditions

Specifically designed for whitewater paddlers and those seeking the most agile and responsive canoe. Hydrolite is often used in models like the Covert 9.3, where weight reduction is paramount. Ideal for technical rivers and playboating.
Hydrolite
The Pinnacle of Lightweight Performance
Hydrolite is the result of advanced material science and manufacturing techniques. It represents the lightest form of polyethylene canoe construction we offer, achieved through meticulous optimization of every stage of production. Hydrolite canoes exhibit exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratios, providing a responsive and efficient paddling experience. The material's high-density composition ensures that it maintains its structural integrity, even under demanding conditions. Hydrolite canoes are designed for paddlers who demand the ultimate in lightweight performance, without sacrificing durability
Designed for paddlers who frequently encounter challenging conditions, such as rocky rivers, rapids, and demanding whitewater. DuraCore Plus canoes are ideal for those who require maximum protection and durability, ensuring a safe and reliable paddling experience.
DuraCore Plus
