Weighing only 33 pounds in the LitePack™ version, the Helios II is an amazingly versatile, safe kayak.
The Helios is available in two versions
- Helios EX - fully rubber-coated Nitrylon™ fabric construction throughout. Nitrylon™ is rugged, dries fast, and is easy to keep clean.
- Helios – construction using Nitrylon™ on the outer hull and LitePack™ fabric on the decks and the interior. LitePack™ fabric cuts 10% off the weight of the kayak, allows for a smaller folded package, and feels nice on bare skin.
Included Features:
- Deck netting and gear bungees
- Adjustable footrest
- Carry handles
- Drybag/backpack
We recommend the rudder when the Helios is paddled as a double sea-touring kayak and the boat is loaded near its 396-pound capacity.
The rudder helps the kayak track well in a straight line. The rudder is not needed when paddling the Helios as a single or when paddling
in swift moving water. The skill of the paddlers also determines the need for a rudder.
A Helios won the predicted log section of the San Juan Challenge, averaging 3 knots over
the 40-mile course in winds gusting to 45 knots. This compact kayak can be
paddled either as a single or a double. It comes in its own deluxe
drybag/backpack and fits under an airline seat. Set up in less than 10 minutes.
Explore moderate whitewater rivers, paddle the Helios along ocean shorelines as
a sea-touring kayak, or fish the backcountry. The Helios is available in two
lengths. A foot-operated rudder can be purchased for
precise control when the Helios is used as a sea-touring kayak.
