Essential NRS Packraft Features
T-Zip Storage System
Located at the back of the boat, the T-Zip allows access to internal storage chambers, perfect for multi-day trips.
Radio-Welded Seams with Internal Taping
Provides an airtight, ultra-durable seal. NRS reported zero warranty claims on their packraft line last year—huge testament to quality.
Strategic Attachment Points
- Side-tube attachment points for broken-down fishing rods.
- Internal gear loops for securing tackle boxes and essentials.
- Front and rear gear attachment points for additional storage flexibility.
Plenty of Attachment Points
The Neutron includes several lightweight D-rings, allowing you to rig up a chicken line, rescue line, or attach a rope for portages. Four D-rings around the front also offer additional attachment options.

Final Thoughts
