The Advanced Elements AdvancedFrame is a hybrid of a folding frame kayak and an inflatable kayak. Its bow slices through water like a knife and rivals the trackability of hard-shell kayaks. The stern acts as a skeg, increasing the tracking performance. It uses extremely durable materials and high-end components. There is plenty of on-board storage room for extended trips. It sets up in just a few minutes, and is compact enough to take along on a weekend adventure.

• New advanced inflation valves • Inflatable coaming for attaching an optional spray skirt • Durable double coated honey comb rip stop fabric, welded seams • Molded rubber handles, adjustable back support, D-ring tie down • Skeg tracking fin and reinforced bow

Review:	Have used this for exploring small lakes and for inland marine (Puget Sound). Design and construction are excellent. The coaming is not continuous so there is a leak at front center, even if you use a spray skirt, which is probably why it is not recommended for big water. With the Backbone installed, cruises easily at 2.8 mph and without much of a push to 3.3 mph. The fastest I could get was 4.5 mph and that's putting out quite a bow wake. Storage space is sufficient for overnight travel if you're into ultralight backpacking; I would not hesitate to take this boat on an overnight. Easy to assemble/inflate and deflate, about 10 mins to fully assembled and about the same to put it back into the bag. Nice boat.

Review:	Make sure your top criteria is portability. Make sure you get a backbone. Given these 2 things, you won't feel odd or left behind amongst the sleek sea kayaks or SOTs out there.

Review:	Bought 2 to keep in the RV. Set up and take down was easy. Boats handled well on the windy day we tested them, crosswind, downwind, no problem. The little skeg worked well. They are not, however as efficient as hard shell boats, so expect to paddle shorter distances. Also, there is a high likelihood of getting wet as you exit, as there is nowhere else to push yourself up, except the sides, and I've pushed a side or two under the waterline without realizing it... Until the seat filled with water.
