Overview
A 10-foot sit-in kayak from Pelican's premium Argo line, with a removable Ergocoast seat and rigging tracks. It carries up to 300 pounds and adds storage features the base Argo 100X does not have.
The 100XR sits above the standard Argo 100X with a quick-lock rear hatch, a second bottle holder and built-in knee pads. Its Ergocoast seat is designed to unclip and work as a separate beach chair, which is unusual for a kayak in this range.
- 10 ft sit-in kayak, 43 lb
- 300 lb weight capacity
- Removable Ergocoast seat doubles as beach chair
- Quick-lock hatch, two rigging tracks, dual bottle holders
Who it's for
Paddlers who want more onboard storage and accessory options than a basic recreational kayak offers, up to 300 pounds of rider and gear. Not needed if a simple, no-frills sit-in is enough.
Pros and cons
- Ergocoast seat detaches and doubles as a beach chair
- Quick-lock rear hatch with storage bag
- Two rigging tracks plus a paddle tie-down
- 300 lb weight capacity, higher than the base Argo 100X
- Heavier than the Argo 100X at 43 lb
- More fittings mean more parts that can need maintenance
Performance notes
The same twin-arched multi-chine hull and foam floatation blocks from the 100X carry over here, so the stability and safety margin are similar; the difference is in the fittings. Two rigging tracks and a paddle tie-down let a paddler mount accessories or free up their hands, and the quick-lock hatch keeps gear dry without a separate dry bag.
