I am not new to paddle sports, but this is my first kayak( at age 62!). Just had my maiden voyage( on a lake with very little wind) and it was so nice! Very stable, tracks well, and the seat is fairly comfortable. I think I need to get myself a set of wheels for the back end because it is a little tough to carry by myself. Also want to get a dry bag for my keys and wallet.( Ziplock bags worked ok, but something more sturdy might be good.) I am pleased with my Quest Canyon 100 and am so glad I got it on sale.

5 MM Raz
Bought these Kayaks as a gift. They are a great starter boat with good stability and quality for the price.

[ This is a great invention. It is so easy to store, transport, assemble, navigate, and dissemble. I immediately got the second one so that I can enjoy it with my friends. I weigh 130 pounds and I use it with a seven year girl 50 pounds and a Chihuahua 10 pounds. It was so stable and we love the experience. I definitely recommend recommended to all who were thinking about the new adventure with kayaks. Thank you and congrats to the team.

5 Jerrold U.
Took my Oru Inlet for its first run. I had to wait for the ice to melt enough( Northeast Connecticut). I am very impressed. It was easy to assemble and disassemble and was extremely maneuverable on the water.

5 Daniel C.
The Inlet is great fun to paddle on small inland lakes and rivers. It takes up very little space when folded, and is quick and easy for one person to set up. One tiny nit to pick: the bulkheads are a little tricky to position. I ’ ve marked the bottoms of mine with dots to help align them, and it would be helpful for the setup instructions to be clearer about where the tops of the bulkheads should line up. Perhaps alignment marks could be added to the skin at both top and bottom. I am very happy with this boat.

5 Sandra S.
After a few years of looking and thinking and being a bit concerned about the price, I finally decided which kayak I wanted- and then which Oru model made the most sense. I had originally thought I wanted the Bay for the closed sitting area, but went with the Inlet. My use will be less `` sporty '' and more recreational and the open area seemed fine. I have now taken her on her maiden voyage at a small lake near me. I first spent the time needed to figure out how to put her together in my living room. When I did it for the first time on the beach, it took under 5 minutes and less than that to take it apart. My 30 minute paddle on the lake was fun. The Inlet was very stable. I did drip water into the boat when paddling, but it was a warm day and felt good and was not enough that my seat got wet. I 'm excited to do more paddling. I can see that the cost is what one pays for light weight, portability, and ease of assembly. I 'm ok with that. I 'll be able to play with this model for many years to come.

5 Lori S.
The inlet kayak I bought is even better than I was expecting.. it is so light and agile in the water and seriously takes only a couple minutes to put together and fold back up after I have enjoyed my paddle. I also bought the light paddle and the splash guard that besides adding drip protection from the paddle is adds a classy look to my new kayak. So happy that I indulged and bought it..

This is an absolutely excellent kayak for beginners and seasoned kayakers alike. The width of the Passage offers exceptional stability, while its shorter length makes it easy to maneuver through both large and small bodies of water. The seat is surprisingly comfortable even when sitting for 3+ hours. Although this is not classed as an angler kayak, the built- in paddle keeper makes it easy to bring a rod and reel along if desired. The back scupper holes also fit my poles perfectly, so they may as well be flush mounted rod holders! My only qualm with this yak is the lack of storage/a dry well- if it had that, it would be the perfect yak. This has been a great purchase, and I love that it fits both myself( 5' 1 '') and my 30lb pup. It's also fairly light and not as much of a pain to lug around as I expected, which is a big bonus!

5 La Era Adventure
I had a fantastic time with my family on a lake. I tried first the Quest kayak by myself and it was fantastic my experience. The Quest Kayak was stable and easy to use even when I added my daughter on board. Experiences like these create lasting memories, and it ’s fantastic that everyone felt safe and had so much fun. When my son tried it alone he said, “ I don ’ t like it, I love it ”. Quest kayak is a solid choice for family adventures!

5 Frank1993
Review: Great First Experience with the Quest Passage 100 I recently took my Quest Passage 100 out on my local neighborhood pond for the first time, and it performed beautifully. The kayak felt incredibly stable, even sitting on top, and paddling was smooth and easy. The departure was seamless, and the back support was very comfortable throughout my time on the water. There ’s plenty of legroom, which is a big plus, and the cup holder and fishing pole spots are well- placed and convenient. I especially love the storage area in the back—it ’s perfect for a cooler or any gear you need, and the bungee cords keep everything secure. Overall, I ’ m really happy with this kayak and can ’ t wait to take it out again!

5 ddml89
I love all the features this kayak has, they have thought about everything an avid kayaker needs. I love how comfortable the seat is. You can tell it ’s made with high quality materials. Would definitely recommend this for any type of kayaker.

5 MStack
I first tried out this kayak about a month about and was so surprised by how comfortable it was! I ’ ve used other kayaks previously and left the experience feeling sore and stiff, but not with this one. I spent over an hour in it and felt great when I was done kayaking! I love how sturdy the kayak is built- it ’s very high quality and well thought out designed wise…. plus the color way is beautiful! 100% recommend it if you ’ re looking to buy a kayak!

5 willysamm
I 've had a few kayaks in the past but this is my first angler kayak. Always liked Perception and their products and this one holds true. Very stable. Can easily cast standing and I have n't tried yet but I feel like I could throw a cast net standing as well. More space than I know what to do with. The only drawback I can think of is how slow it is but that's what you 're going to get with a kayak this size and accommodations. A lot of boats cost more than this one that do n't offer as much. Truly getting a lot for what you pay for. My only advice is what money you save with this kayak, invest in a long paddle. I 'm shorter but because you sit higher you 're going to want to go for a longer reach. Also if you 'll be carrying your boat to the water, do n't get the cheapest cart. I 've already bent the field and stream cart I bought from dicks.

5 Brgs2012
My husband and I purchased this after experiencing a tandem kayak for the first time while on a cruise. At first I thought it would be difficult to paddle as a team but it was the most fun we 've had in awhile! The Perception Rambler has a bit of weight to it but between the two of us we can easily carry it to the water. The weight also lends itself to stability both getting into the kayak as well as during turbulence on the water. Overall construction and performance aside, it's beautiful! It's visible out on our local lakes and has held up over time with transporting and regular use. I highly recommend this kayak!

5 Happy Grandparents
My husband and I bought two of these kayaks for our grandsons for Christmas and they were, by far, the highlight of the day! The boys were so excited that they put them in their pool to try out immediately. An added bonus is that they came with paddles just the right length for kids. We had been looking since October for just the right size( our grandsons are 8& 6) and when we called the Gainesville store the personnel there couldn ’ t have been more accommodating. We live about an hour ’s drive away from the store and they were happy to hold them for us to pick up. This experience at Dick ’s Gainesville store will ensure that we are lifelong customers.

I bought three Kayaks for my elementary school aged boys. They are quite sturdy and feel quality. Also impressed with this company. I am not sure seat backs are needed but we decided to look into them and after a simple email with the model number they have been provided; GREAT customer service. Thank you. When it's time to get them adult size Kayaks, I will return.

5 Mango mom
I 've had this kayak for a few years now and we absolutely love it!! I weigh almost 300 lbs and it is very stable. My daughter has a pink youth kayak and we lay down the seats in our Honda CRV( 2008) put mine in nose first, seatbelt through the hand grip, then put hers in upside down and backwards, attaching her hand grip at the nose of her kayak to the back hand grip of my kayak. They both fit perfectly with all our camping stuff underneath. The seat back is so comfortable and worth it!! I got a lifevest that's shorter in the back specifically for kayaking and we can be on the lake all day. I hope this review helps someone else know you can still enjoy kayaking and the outdoors even if you do n't have a camper or truck to haul it all in. We fit just perfectly! Best investment ever!!

I haven ’ t been able to test the kayak out just yet, but it came packaged really well. Pretty easy to assemble, although we did use an electric pump to ease inflation- in a pinch the manual pump works just fine. The backpack makes it easy to lug around and store while not in use. I can ’ t wait to take it on the water with my kids!

5 Love2run
I got this double kayak for my two boys that absolutely love to fish, swim and be on the water. It took us about 10 minutes to pump up which is not bad to be on the water paddling around and/or fishing out in the open water for the day. The seats were surprisingly comfortable for a long paddle session and the it was a sturdy ride. It was super easy to maneuver through the water. We ’ ve always wanted kayaks but didn ’ t have the room to store them. This comes with a storage bag that is easy to put the folded kayak back once dry that fits the oars and pump with ease. Amazing!

5 Megan C
Great portable kayak! This kayak is a fantastic quality. I love the option to deflate and use the backpack style carrying bag. It is on the heavier side for some, but my husband does not have an issue. The pump is a great quality and quickly inflates. The bag has plenty of room to fit everything inside. Highly recommend!

5 Megs
This inflatable kayak has worked well to paddle in our creek and out to the river with my son or daughter. I am careful to avoid downed trees or anything that could puncture it. We also plan to use it in the ocean and intracoastal. My 9yr old son fully inflated and assembled it by himself. It comes with 2 seats, 2 paddles, pump, repair kit, fins, and a nice zippered storage bag. While it is easy to setup, it does take some time and should be noted that there are a lot of parts to keep up with and the once inside the bag it is quite heavy and large to store or transport. For one person, it takes about 15 minutes to deflate and packup and bw 30- 45min to set up the first few times.

5 MrAP
The Patoka Inflatable Kayak can be 2 or 1 person. Comes with carrying Pack for easy storage and packing to your favorite spot at the water. Quite impressive with quality of this Inflatable Kayak. The lightweight maneuverability and stability. The weight limit is a max of 375 total weight. Still great for a adult and small child or one adult. Comes with everything you need to hit the water except the life jackets. Remember if you have 2 people you need 2 life jackets. Also repair kit comes with this as well. I would recommend this if you are needing to Kayak and have a small car or no storage room.
