PADDLER GUIDE GEAR LAB: NRS – Neutron SL packraft 

Welcome to the Paddler Guide Gear Lab! Today we’re reviewing the Neutron SL packraft by NRS! 

We are stoked to present you with a new format across our different channels: Product Review Videos! From the studio and on the river, we introduce you to different products, tell you all the specs you need to know, and show you how they perform on the water.

The Neutron SL is the ultralight version of the Neutron series. With its lightweight design and improved packability, it gives whitewater paddlers a performance-driven option for adventures where every ounce counts. With a super comfortable outfitting, carefully selected materials, and easy packability, this packraft can take you whitewater paddling anywhere in the world, especially off the beaten track.

« The Neutron SL is such a fun way to discover the river. »

The backband and adjustable knee braces provide great comfort while helping you feel connected to the boat and the water beneath you. Even when surfing waves, the boat remains easy to control. This makes it an incredibly fun craft for exploring rivers.
