Great Compact Rec Kayak

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect for my needs. Fits inside a Subaru Outback for quick trips. Light enough to carry one handed. Spacious enough for backpacking tent and gear. Very stable for less than 10 feet in length. Build quality is excellent for what the vessel is. Loaded near the weight limit I can paddle and fish in less than a foot of water. Great simplistic kayak from Old Town.

Spins On A Dime!

I have owned a Heron9XT for over 11 years now and I love it. I use it almost weekly on a rocky type 2 river. I have read the bad reviews on this, and the most common one is that it does not track well. No, it doesn't. I don't think it was meant to. I use this on rivers that are fast and requires dexterity. I can spin on a dime whereas those that track better are awkward and difficult to turn fast. Buy the type of kayak for the type of water you will be going on the most. This one is not designed for lakes but will shine on rivers!

Love This Kayak!

Great kayak for calm waters. At 9ft I can just get it into my Jeep Grand Cherokee (as long as nobody’s in the car with me). I can really go fast in it. Comfortable. What else can I say? Love it!

Bit Of A Tub

I’m 5’4” 125lbs female. The rear of this kayak does not touch the water when I’m in it. This means that it’s a hard paddle and will not hold its course. (I have no trouble in our necky rip 10). I have only used this on small inland lakes in good conditions. I have found putting a small bar weight, 8lb, in the rear hatch helps to push the stern down into the water. While there is nothing wrong with its quality I wouldn’t recommend this kayak and would definitely prioritize a better shaped hull and skeg over kayak weight.

Quality And Lightweight

I have 4 kayaks, and my old town haron9xt is by far my favorite. Great tracking, comfortable, only 37lbs, very well made and, an all around great kayak. I love it.
