I recently bought a 14’ Current Designs Vision, composite hybrid, as I needed a lighter weight kayak than my plastic kayak. I’m wondering if that hull material is durable enough to paddle in the BWCA, overnight trips and/or day trips.
Current Designs describes the material as: “Composite hybrid: a fiberglass and polyaramid (generic form of Kevlar) laminate for ultimate stiffness.” Does anyone know how durable this type of hybrid materials is, compared to Kevlar canoes? Or fiberglass boats?
p.s. This isn’t a question about canoe vs kayaks in the BWCA. I usually take a Kevalar canoe on BWCA trips, but I’ve also taken plastic kayaks on overnight trips, so I know the pros and cons.
