How to effectively inflate a MRS packraft?

- When the air pressure in a single packraft reaches 1.5PSI, after launching, the hull will not wrinkle due to the decrease in air pressure in the boat. The recommended air pressure for tandem packraft is 2.5PSI.
An efficiently inflated MRS packraft allows for easier paddling and saves paddlers energy.
Hey, i have the adventure x2. I don't understand why the inflation bag has to be connected to the 2-way valve. In my opinion it is a flaw. Does mrs offer an adapter to connect the bag to the non-return valve?
Hey. i dont know if you have gotten an answer from this or not. but for my packraft (kipara) i have the inflation bag wich i can unscrew an adapter on my bag to get to the 2way valve. and then add the adapter after. for the oneway.
Inflating the packraft from only6 the oneway is waaaaay harder to do. it takes alot of effort to fill through the oneway valve. so i always fill up with 2 wa. close the 2way and take one more bag with the one way. and the use the mouthto fill the rest.
What i would reccomend anyway is that you buy the pump. Flextail max pro 2 i think is the one i have. and i only use this to fill up anyway
@@NorwegianHammocker Many thanks for Your detailed answer. That helps a lot!
In general I am happy with the bag. It takes just four minutes to fully inflate. Since i am very space limited on my boat i hesitate to buy an additional pump. I am gonna buy the adapter and will see which valve (or in combination) works best for me.
@@udothiel8009 No problem hope it helps. in regards to the pump. you should look it up. its very tiny and weight is 160 grams. it fits in your pocket. and can inflate the packraft 6-8 times before it needs charging again. i always bring my bag as a reserve in case the pump is not working. but to this day i never had to use it (i have used it because i wanted to)
