Weight

 

We are honestly saying that we have selected those kinds of kayaks whose weight is perfect and almost everyone Is lightweight. Maybe there is two or one heavyweight product in our pelican kayak reviews list. So without these one or two products, our all selected items are good from the weight’s side.
