The Prijon Prilite is fast, Light and Stable

The Prilite T 505 is a fast, fully equipped single kayak with trihedral hull, excellently suited for open waters. It is 22% lighter than a comparable HTP-kayak and mechanically more durable than a kayak made of GFK.

Many customers ask for lighter boats, as HTP and standard Polyethylene kayaks are too heavy for some paddlers and the roofs of our cars are getting higher and higher. To take into account the requirements for less weight at a high level of stability, we offer, with PRILITE, a material unique in the building of kayaks.

NEW Now also available in a shorter version, the Prilite 400, weighing only 17kg
