Material feels strong and thick, so punctures should happen with mild care

Last thing I know buyers want to know, how strong is the material it’s made of its thick and feels like soft pvc very nice.

They are made out of a much cheaper material than the rest of the kayak, so I guess that was to be expected

Material seems very durable

I found this to be well made, with good materials.

Skeg is made of sturdy material.

The kayak is made of sturdy material; nose cones are hardened material, handles and cords are very sturdy.

, too bad they couldn't use the same material for the floor.5

Not made of tough material.

It has thicker and more durable materials, better valves, a valve gauge and WAY more leg room

The material of the Intex hull doesn’t strike me as being especially thick or resilient either.

The material that this kayak is made of is good but I wouldn't trust it too far from shore, or on a camping trip where I would be depending on it to get me home

The material is very easy to dry, and the raft folds up very quickly for transport, which, when we got home, we lightly re-inflated it and put it under cover to dry

I've hit sharp rock edges numerous times and the outside material didn't even have superficial scratches

I was very scared it'd get a hole in it, the material is very strong and durable

Pros:-Tough material just like mariner 4, explorer does not compare do not buy those get this instead.-it comes with a “booster”

The material feels very tough.

Much longer, great leg room, heavier material, definitely worth the extra money.

I was most worried that the material of this kayak wouldn't be quality and it far surpassed my expectations

It has a tougher material than the others and the seats are substantially more comfortable than the base Sea Eagle.

The material seems cheap and it got a puncture after the second use.

At first, I thought they were a big improvement - easier to inflate, seemingly stronger material.

Like I said, it has a lot going for it, but with the valve issue and the weak material I would suggest people look elsewhere.

Very sturdy material elicits lots of confidence

The kayak is made of sturdy material; nose cones are hardened material, handles and cords are very sturdy.

This was a great buy, I spent the extra money on this instead of getting the Intex Explorer because of the thicker, sturdier material

Stronger material than I thought it would be

The carry bag is made of cheap material and the carry bag zipper is not a strong one; maybe the size and strength of a windbreaker jacket.

The materials are durable enough to withstand their weight

The material felt very durable

Great material not that plastic stuff like those other cheap kayaks

I tried some better repair material, but it was hopeless

The materials are built well and it feel sturdy

Despite what seems like pretty durable material, this kayak is either very fragile or quality control is terrible.

The material has been sturdy and thick enough where there haven't been any leaks

The material is tough all around

The excursion is a thicker more durable material than the K2 and a little longer and narrower, very comfortable with plenty of leg room

Much bigger, strong material, more legroom, easier to inflate, and break down.

I would love to see Intex (or any inflatable kayak company) do a demo video of just how tough there kayak material is.....by stabbing and poking it with rocks / branches, for example

You can tell the material is not as thick as more expensive IKs, but for the price I can't complain.

(no need to act like the Strong Man at the Circus), as it is just plastic & will heat up which will cause issues if you go too fast-nice that it has some ropes on the outside-durable material, easy grab handles-it is not a Big Plastic Standard Kayak & therefore does not behave as such.

Very durable 3-ply material, easy to set up and take down

I didn't expect much from an inflatable kayak but this one has better quality material than what my wife jokingly calls my "Pool Toy

Material seemed sturdy enough, but mine has a big leak after two outings

Thick durable material

Tough material, no issues.

The material and construction are sturdy and look like it will stand up nicely in normal use

Its stable in the water and is made of good material.

I've only used it three times, but the materials seem sturdy and I'm not too worried about punctures and leaks if I'm reasonably careful

The seats are not good, and would be more marketable if they would add better options and materials to trade out the seats if they don’t already have those options

It's just as close to perfect as I can imagine

The booster cushion (my girl used it) was very comfy, but she had small issues with her seat backrest not being as supportive as without the added cushion

Turned around and paddled as fast as I could to get back to the dock.

I inflate the bottom cushion, but I would recommend not pushing the valve into the pad as it's hard to pull back out.

There is a solid area behind the rear seat, as well as in the front, and y pi u can easily fit a dry bag in both areas

n’t feel like you will sink or flip over

Because of how many pieces it breaks down into, the paddle feels a little more flimsy than my Emotion 12t kayak paddles which breakdown into two pieces, but it got the job done during my 3 mile paddle

n’t lose air
