Design and Construction

The Fastback model is a 1-person boat that is just shy of 11 feet long when inflated. It is constructed of durable nylon (woven and laminated on the bottom) and comes with a heavy-duty cover.

The hull that surrounds the inflatable core is sturdy adequate to withstand rocks, sticks and other hazards that one might encounter when kayaking in a river or stream. Safety and convenience features abound on this kayak model, together with a water-resistant pouch, mesh storage, pull handles and complicated D-ring hooks. The double lock inflate valve virtually guarantees no leakage.

Transporting and Storage

At just under 29 pounds, the Fastback can be in effect conveyable to your beloved kayaking destination. It is in effect conveyable with no extra car carrier needed. This model does not contain a carry or storage bag, however. One idea for transporting the kayak is to store it inside a plastic tub that fits nicely into the backseat of your car. A thirty-five gallon tub would be ample room for the craft once it is completely deflated.

Comfort

The seat is comfortable and provides perfect back hold for relieve on long rides. Because your legs will be completely surrounded by the kayak, plan on your legs getting warm, especially on a hot day.

Handling

If it is your first time in a kayak, you will find the Coleman Exponent Fastback to be easy to navigate without feeling "tippy". This kayak should be able to deal with class 3 whitewater, and for more experienced kayakers, class Iv should not be too tough to deal with either, although it is advised that you log some hours on calmer waters before attempting the rapids.

Price

The Fastback kayak by Coleman is an perfect value. Plan on spending somewhere in the middle of 0-300. If you shop around, you might be able to pick up this kayak at a hefty discount, especially while the off season months.   This kayak does not come qualified with a paddle, so be sure to contain the purchase of one to your total outlay.
