Jon, AIRE lists a 525 pound load capacity. Be aware that's just a displacement calculation to a certain waterline and not a "max" figure. Here's why we don't list weight capacities for our boats - http://www.nrs.com/boating_tips/boatweightcapacity.asp
Yes, it is a good, stable boat and can be used as a single easily. As mentioned in the previous reply, just a few minutes to put the seat in and you are off!!
It comes with the 2 chairs as shown. They are very adjustable for different configurations and sized paddlers. Comfortable enough for a several day trip down the Salmon. Once we got ours just how we wanted them you can just unbuckle the seats for storage leaving the clips in place for replacement next time.
FYI - We bought the knee straps as well but have yet to need them in class II+ water. Very stable craft.
I am able to fit mine, including seats, patch kit and pump in a northface duffel bag that is 19” x19” x 31.5”.
Brendan, we don't stock the Outfitter I, but can order one for you. It generally only takes 3-4 days for them to deliver. Please give us a call to order, 800.635.5202.
Jackson, this article gives some guidelines for choosing paddle length - https://www.nrs.com/inflatables/paddle_sizing_guide.asp - We offer a wide range of paddles - https://www.nrs.com/category/3123/whitewater-kayaking/whitewater-paddles - with filters for narrowing your selection. Please give us a call, 800.635.5202, or email service@nrs.com for help in picking the best paddle for your boating needs.
Yes, Thigh Straps - http://www.nrs.com/category/2680/life-jackets/rescue-life-jackets -can be added by threading the adjustment straps through the floor drain holes.
Rob, AIRE doesn't give weight carrying capacity. This boat can easily carry two full-sized adults and some gear, or one person and plenty of gear for multiday expeditions.
Yes, Bill, 2.5 psi throughout the boat.
I have the AIRE Outfitter I and love it. Buying the Outfitter II for extended trips/trips with the dog and friends.
This thing is so stable it's easy to learn on and gives me confidence with kids
We have two other AIREs and want to add another!
While considering many options, the durability and recommendation from friends sent me to this versatile overnite tandem IK.
