lightweight, but not so sturdy
easy assemble, lightweight, but not for extensive paddling. Excellent as a spare and for packrafting

Nicely made
This paddle is surprisingly sturdy and I'm very pleased with it. Each piece fits together nice and tight with no looseness or wiggling and I like the fact that you can leave one piece out to shorten it. It works perfectly for what I wanted.

The first paddle I got was too short- I didn't know any better- So it may just be that this one actually fits. Love the potability, it lives int eh back of the subaru, throw the kayak on teh roof and I'm on the bay in 10 minutes. paddle stays in teh back, not half way into the tfront seat.

I am happy with the paddle as a backup/emergency paddle. If I was packing super light for a trip it would be great for still water paddling. It does the job for a utility paddle. If you are looking for a performance paddle then look at some of the other great Advanced Element paddles. This one is all about size and weight. Even with the diminutive head it still comes in a bit heavier than I would expect for the lack of performance. That is where it loses a star. Value to Quality is right where you would expect.

Specs first (they were very close to advertised): Weight, paddle only, without nylon bag: 23.85 ounces, 678 grams. Length, all four segments: 225 cm, 88.5 inches.
It's cheap, light, and packs down small. I appreciate the longer length (many collapsable or UL paddles aren't as nearly long) because it keeps my lap drier and my shoulders are less sore if I can keep the paddle at a lower angle.
The blades aren't large. That's an advantage for most sea kayaking because it catches less wind while giving (within a stroke or two) as much speed as larger blades. But in moving water, I'd want bigger blades to be able to react more quickly.
The shaft feels fine for normal paddling - a bit loose at the joints, but sturdy enough. I'm less sure of it in real panic situations if I have to put a lot of force on a blade, especially if extended on one side or had to push off a rock or log. Again, more of a lake and sea kayaking paddle than any swift water.
As Michael mentioned, it pairs well with the Klymit LWD because if they're both good in flat water, compact, light, inexpensive and neither should be in white water or serious seas.
4 stars instead of 5 because this isn't "one paddle to rule them all" as some exceptional pieces of gear can be. It is one paddle in a quiver of paddles, to be selected when appropriate for the conditions.

I was a little concerned about the stiffness of the paddles, but they were nearly awesome on our 200km paddling section in Norway. I used them with a packraft from Nortik.

For the price and compactness it’s great. If you want something more durable pay more. Perfect compliment to my klymit LWD
