Overview
A quiet pond or slow river with one paddler aboard is the setting for the Old Town Loon, a sit-inside kayak molded from polypropylene. Carrying handles make it easy to move from car to water.
Its light weight and easy handling make it a friendly boat for casual outings, and the stated load rating leaves space for a paddler and gear. The limitation is that the listing gives no seat, hatch or paddle details, and no paddle is included.
Who it's for
Casual paddlers who explore ponds and slow rivers by themselves will find a manageable boat. Whitewater boaters and anyone wanting a hatch or storage detail should look at other kayaks.
Pros and cons
- Light enough to car-top
- Carrying handles for transport
- Solo design handles easily
- High load rating for its length
- Paddle not included
- Seat details not listed
- Filed under whitewater kayaks
Performance notes
A shorter hull turns quickly but tracks less straight than a longer boat, so it suits casual flatwater paddling. The polypropylene hull is molded in one piece, and weight stays low enough for one person to lift.
