In our short review we take a closer look at the Mekong Pablo Pro. The packraft is meant to be a true all-rounder that performs both on calm water and in whitewater. How it does in practice, who it suits and where its strengths and weaknesses lie, we show you in the video.

According to the manufacturer, the Pablo Pro is the first 3-in-1 packraft: in a few minutes it converts between a self-bailing, a decked and an open configuration. Mekong builds its boats in France and welds them using high-frequency technology, without any glue.

Our videos are in German. On YouTube, most of them are automatically dubbed into English, and some reviews have an English voice-over.
