Packraft reviews by Judith and Chris

Hey, we're Judith and Chris. We've been testing and using packrafts since 2017: on wilderness trips in Scandinavia, on the rivers right outside our door and on journeys as far as Patagonia. Here you'll find all our reviews in one place, sorted by Anfibio and Mekong.

About us

Judith and Chris hiking through Rago National Park with packrafts in their backpacks

On our YouTube channel TipiAndRaft we show our trips with packraft and tipi. It all started in 2017 with the Anfibio Delta MX, since 2020 the ultralight Nanos have been with us almost every time, and by now a whole fleet has come together.

We've been out with packrafts since 2017, and we paid for most of our boats entirely ourselves. Only in the last few years have we started working with Anfibio as affiliate partners, now very closely, and with other manufacturers such as Mekong too. Through these partnerships we regularly get loan boats that we're allowed to test free of charge. If you buy through our links, we earn a commission at no extra cost to you. None of this changes our honest opinion, and we talk openly about weaknesses as well. You'll find all the details in our affiliate disclosure.

In Jülich (Germany) you can test packrafts with us by appointment, and other gear too, such as our tipis. Find out more at tipiandraft.de. On request we can also give you a 5% discount code (advertising: we earn a commission on it as well). Message us on Instagram or at kontakt@tipiandraft.de.
