These imported whitewater inflatable kayaks weighs in at 34 pounds with their newer 1000 denier material, down from 39 pounds in the older models. The standard seat is an inflatable pillow backrest. The Tomcat's width is almost 38" (not 36" as the catalog says), so don't plan on using a short (like 220 or 225cm) paddle with this 'yak because you won't be able to move it effectively.
The chair style seat in the image has been replaced with an inflatable "pillow" backrest in the current model.

Tomcats whitewater inflatable kayaks

AIRE Tributary Tomcats whitewater inflatable kayaks pretty well negate the need to look at the wetter, slower bailing models from Coleman, Sea Eagle, or osome of the no-name brands you find scattered on eBay and other dark corners on the internet. These are an excellent choice for folks who want to do self supported multi-day whitewater whitewater inflatable kayaks trips because they have a ton of tie-down loops and lots of room behind the seat (and in front, depending on seat position) for gear, and plenty of weight capacity. AIRE's specs actually rate the carrying capacity of these whitewater inflatable kayaks at 25 pounds less than the Lynx I, which is absurd. The 350 pound rating on the Lynx I, due to all it's post-2003 design changes, is really optimistic. 300 to 320 is about right. The Tomcat I on the other hand will carry close to 400 pounds without swamping.

Tomcats whitewater inflatable kayaks don't inflate as rock-hard as the American models but they are pretty close, and the newer 1000 denier base material used can withstand plenty of hard impacts.
