The twin-arched hull provides excellent stability and a dry ride which will allow the new paddler to become very comfortable very quick. Yes, there are others like the Perception Swifty 95, Old Town Vapor 10, and Ascend D10 which have capacities of 300 plus, but none of those are anywhere near the price point that the Pelican is. At 51.25 inches long and 23.5 inches wide, it is an easy boat to enter and egress from. and up which on the surface does not sound like much, but when loading solo, makes a huge difference.

This is a plus because many others in this class weigh 45 lbs. It was very easy to load and unload from the top of a car. It is highly impact-resistant and normally regains its shape after violent impacts.Īt only 38 lbs., this boat was very light for a 10 foot recreational kayak. Instead of using polyethylene as most recreational kayak manufacturers do, the Trailblazer is constructed from RAM-X which is a material exclusive to Pelican. The built in dashboard has a small tray for storing little items and the seat has a small cup holder. long and 28 inches wide, it comes standard with adjustable foot pegs, bungee cords on the front deck and has a small non-watertight storage space on the rear deck. We were also surprised to learn that it is available in 10 different colors.Īt 10 ft.
We have to admit, at first glance, this boat stands out from others in the recreational class of kayak because of the two tone color scheme Pelican uses. Was it just the price? Is there some secret that only Trailblazers owners know about? We didn’t know, so we took one out and put it through its paces. The Casual Outdoorsman wanted to find out why this is such a popular boat. It is sold by both Dick’s Sporting Goods and through their subsidiary Field and Stream at a price point of $199.00. a Canadian company that has been in business for over 50 years and is a recipient of the prestigious Canada’s Best Managed Companies award. It is an entry level recreation sit-in kayak that is manufactured by Pelican International Inc. No matter where you go, you will always see someone paddling one of them.
The Pelican Trailblazer 100 kayak is a very popular boat.
