Product Description
Great for fishing, canyoneering, and exploring backcountry waters, the Klymit LWD (or LiteWater Dinghy) is easy to carry, inflate, and use—and at just 35 ounces, it’s one of the lightest rafts on the market. It’s constructed from 210D ripstop polyester, with an arrow-shaped design for increased maneuverability, six tie-off zones for securing loads, and an inflatable seat for added comfort and insulation during long periods of paddling Read More

Received my Klymit LWD this week and tested it out today on Parramatta Lake in Sydney, Australia. All went well, nearly fell asleep on it on the lake as it was so relaxing.

😂, except there are no crocs in Sydney where the pic was taken, way too far south for them as they are tropical animal that live in the north of Australia.

I like hiking boots with no shoe strings, and then use paracord. Just enough to jump off a cliff. I kid.

Don't want to be up or down the creek without a paddle.lol. Thats a great idea. What tent and trekking poles do you use? Any thing that lowers your weight is great. I'm going to start building my gear so that I can take my Son on some real adventures. We live half the year in the Blueridge mountains of Wv. and half in Tallahassee Fl. Both have wonderful places to hike and camp. Any advice on gear, or anything else, would be greatly appreciated. Our dog, Blue ( half Siberian husky and half German shepherd. A Gerbarian Shepsky.) will be accompanying us. Where's the best place that you've hiked and camped? Thanks and have a great day!, Sidney Michele

It definitely says 350 lbs capacity, but just in case--am I going to sink when I sit my 280 lb self in this?

BlueCrownedMy fiancée and I managed to successfully use a single raft riding tandem, so I‘d definitely endorse its weight-handling abilities. We’re tiny people, but I reckon we pushed it to about 300 lbs. without it being worrisome. Definitely wasn’t a comfortable way to paddle though, which is why I ended up ordering her one. Too bad I didn’t wait for it on Massdrop…

BlueCrownedTried it in a pool session this week. I had lots of freeboard with my 190 pounds on board. Four middle-school girls were on it at once, 470 pounds total. They were all out of the water and there was a fair bit of raft still out of the water - not much functional freeboard, but potential of floatation. If Rose, and another Rose had really wanted to save Jack and another Jack (Titanic reference), it would have worked for that.

Does your boat bend/wrinkle weird like mine before you get into it?

Well finally bought a 65L drybag from Sea to Summit, but even though it's huge, it's long & tube shaped, and won't fit my 40L backpack inside when packed... back to the drawing board...

ColoradoboyYes, definitely a consequence of it being a 'two dimensional' pattern. However, if it were 3D like a burlier raft (alpaca, etc) it would necessarily weigh and cost more.

Would this hold up to a small dog’s nails if it sat in front of me like the kid is sitting in front of the adult? I’m a thin girl with a 12lb terrier so the weight should be ok.

Thanks for sharing! I'll see if I can convince either of my dogs to join me (34 lb & 55lb) - maybe one with me and one with my boyfriend? Ha!
Btw I went through your dog's Instagram (because, puppies!) and the dog vs water bottle video is solid gold.

This is my first experience with Massdrop, and I gotta say, I don't get it. This was on Amazon the same week the drop ended for $120, so I saved 15 bucks. But if I had purchased it through Amazon, I would've had it in my hands two days later, rather than almost a full month turn around. And an 8 day shipping expectancy? I was expecting at least priority shipping after that wait. I knew what I was getting into, so it's no one's fault but my own. Next time I'll fork over the extra 15 bucks. Anyway, lesson learned.

Inquietudpt2I can hear you singing " I've got you under my skin ..."
Whining then saying it's your fault then whining some more... yeah. What is even more amazing is that you are even around here at all considering you apparently signed off Massdrop "37 weeks ago" when you learned your lesson. Guess not.
As for the rest of us we appreciate great deals and Massdrop's offerings. Toodaloo!

Obviously from my name I am from Chicago. Had a friend bring his mom from Puerto Rico. Upon seeing Lake Michigan she said, "This isn't a lake, it's an ocean." Just saying it's all relative.

my phone keyboard is set up to Swype in English and Spanish... sometimes it gets confused on the question marks. But that was a very fitting interpretation.

Hi, this is a boat that floats in water. Why isn't there a single photo of the boat doing what it is designed for? Better yet would be a video.

wonder if this is any more comfortable and "manageable" steering-wise without a paddle than a round floatie. Maybe a simple blow up Intex floatie or float ring would be just as good. Any suggestions?

You are spot on about the wind! We went up and down a small lake and going into the wind was tough! I had to keep paddling or I'd start going backwards. Fortunately we went into the wind first, so the way back was easy. These are great for going with the wind, and then hiking instead of paddling upwind.

overhereI have a number of Intex kayaks. They are very durable and steer similar to the quality heavier kayaks even in the wind. Problem is, you really need to also pack the pump (which comes with an Intex) and it takes much longer to inflate and deflate, and the Intex does not fold up as small (it has thicker walls which are more rigid) and weighs more and you certainly cannot just carry one of those on a short hike and have the ability to carry much else. Each product has its purpose. This raft is for those wanting a lightweight, toteable, quick and easy to inflate and deflate, small storage.... like a bike trip or a short hike diversion.
