The Delta MX was our personal start in packrafting back in 2017. Since then it has been with us on trips in Canada, Norway, Sweden and South America, from relaxed summer outings to more demanding adventures.
In our long-term test after nine years we show why we recommend it to beginners: light, robust, tracks well and can be upgraded. With the UniDeck it can be retrofitted into a decked version, and we show how in our DIY tutorial.
Our videos are in German. On YouTube, most of them are automatically dubbed into English, and some reviews have an English voice-over.
