Alpacka Mule Packraft – High-Capacity, Hunt-Ready, Expedition Tough
The Alpacka Mule is a high-volume, expedition-ready packraft built for hunters, multi-day explorers, and paddlers who need serious hauling capability without giving up performance. Designed to carry larger paddlers or heavy gear loads, the Mule offers exceptional stability, buoyancy, and confidence on demanding backcountry missions.
With a refined hull shape and generous tube volume, the Mule stays composed under weight while maintaining smooth tracking and responsive control. It’s the go-to craft for big game hauling, extended river trips, or any objective where gear capacity, stability, and durability matter most.
Big Volume, Big Capability
Built around Alpacka’s high-volume design, the Mule accommodates large paddlers, bulky loads, or multi-day expedition kits with ease. The balanced hull maintains efficiency for long flatwater miles, while its stability inspires confidence when navigating moving water or managing uneven loads.
Durable & Field-Repairable
Premium coated fabrics, welded seams, and reinforced wear zones ensure dependable performance in rugged terrain. The Mule is fully field-repairable with standard packraft patch kits—built to withstand seasons of hard use in remote environments.
