RuckRaft® (including XL Drybag)

The RuckRaft® is a fully inflatable raft that comes with a giant drybag into which you can pour everything: your favourite rucksack, drying robes, walking boots, picnic, tent and as many layers of clothes as you need for a big day out or weekend of adventures over land and water. 

Simple and effective, it works. The unique, streamline design and superior buoyancy means your RuckRaft® glides across the water even when fully loaded with over 15kg of gear. Equally at home on a lake, river or sea, the RuckRaft® is a multiplier for any swim adventure.

Shortlisted for the The Great Outdoors Gear of the Year Awards 2020, Innovation Award (recognising new breakthroughs in outdoor gear that make a real difference).

 Made in the UK and patented worldwide, the RuckRaft® is exclusive to buy from Above Below. 

MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN SINCE 2018.
PATENTED WORLDWIDE.

The RuckRaft® is a simple, portable two-piece kit to transform all your gear into a raft you can easily tow while swimming. It is light, tough, practical and all designed, tested and made in the UK exclusively by AboveBelow®.

We have made a few design tweaks for RR2 including bigger tabs for the straps so that each strap can comfortably stand up to 35kg of force (5 stone). There is an extra 20cm to the vertical strap to support larger volume loads and a neoprene strip for secure seal on the dry bag.

Purpose built to carry anything you need, anywhere. The streamline design and superior buoyancy means the RuckRaft® glides across the water with minimum drag, even when fully loaded.

Built from tough, marine grade materials with dependable YKK clips and solid webbing. We don't use zips ? they are always the first thing to degrade, especially around salt water, sand, grit etc.

And it all packs down into a small, 1Kg package to fit easily into any day sack.

Material

The raft and the drybag are constructed using a tough TPU coated Nylon fabric by Rivertex®. Lightweight with high tear strength and ISO 12402-7 approved, the fabric has been designed to offer unrivalled strength and durability for when performance matters.

Features

With high frequency welded seams, the RuckRaft® inflates in 30 seconds via two-way valve. No zips to go wrong, no stitched seams and no leaks.

The RuckRaft® comes with a polyester tow leash that can be attached around your waist or ankle ? we chose polyester as it does not absorb water and so retains strength when wet. When fully extended, the leash is 210cm long. The flexible waist means it should fit all sizes.

Dimensions

The RuckRaft® has buoyancy to support a full 70L, 15kg three day expedition pack and packs down to a lightweight 1kg package that is 25cm wide, 12.5cm diameter (the size of a rolled up beach towel with trunks in). The Dry bag is 70cm at the opening and 95cm deep to easily accommodate a full 70L Rucksack, with room to spare for clothes, walking shoes or anything else you want to take on your adventure.
