Well made, sturdy boat! Easy to set up and take down.

LOVE! I have used this boat 1-3 times a week since Christmas unless the weather is crazy bad. It does great at cold temperatures. I live in Idaho and really enjoyed paddling around the ice on my half-frozen river.

The fabric has held up wonderfully. I've gotten in some scrapes and it hasn't torn yet. The skeg mount did crack pretty early on. I got a new one but haven't replaced it yet because I'm a little nervous about doing it.

This is definitely not the fastest kayak you can buy, but it'll go the distance. It's crazy sturdy—great for gear, dogs, kids, or nervous adults. I often have a passenger paddling with me, but the majority of the time I'm paddling alone. It handles great.

I have the upgraded seats, which I like. I can't speak to the sturdiness of the carrying case because I never use it. I just fold the thing up and put it in the back of my car. That's pretty much where it's lived for 8 months.

Pro tip: This boat makes a great camping bed when slightly deflated.

I have used this over a couple of 5 day solo canoe wild camping trips in Scotland and Wales, with Grade II rapids, as well as at a Whitewater Centre. I chose the 380x as I wanted a very tough stable kayak that could handle whitewater as well as long distances on the flat, whilst being stable and able to take lots of gear. The 380x has delivered in spades. It handled the whitewater really well, and whilst other solid canoes had to keep stopping to bail water out, the self-draining holes worked brilliantly. I just left them open for the whole of the 5 day trips, but because of the drop stitch floor, the water stays out of the way so you are not sitting in a puddle all the time. She handled really well in the rapids, and was manoeuvrable enough despite being fully loaded. We bashed into rocks and trees, with no problems, you just bounce off the rocks. She tracks well on the flat, without too much yawing.

To improve: more D rings at the front, and a 'collapsable' skeg for scraping over rocky shallows.

We've done lakes and the ocean even with rough winds and waves - no problem. The test was the rapids and it required a lot of skill and power to steer the boat. This was only possible alone and probably tested my limit and the limit of the boat. But I find that very impressive as it seems to be able to handle it all. We are very happy with it!
