Anfibio Alpha XC

Anfibio Alpha XC

The facts speak for themselves: less than 1.5 kg, pack size in range of 1.5 L, but still robust – that’s the Anfibio Alpha XC.

Anfibio Alpha XC is very similar to it’s bigger brother – the Anfibio Delta MX. However, the Alpha is smaller and lighter.

Ultralight and universal

XC stands for cross country, as the packraft is so light and compact that you can carry it with ease over long distances. The inner dimension provides enough space for an adult.

The boat has 6 tie downs (2 at the stern and 4 at the bow).

We apologize for any discrepancies in the number of grab loops on some of the pictures.

Slim and light design

The Alpha XC is also compact in its dimensions. Tube diameter tapers to 25 cm on the on the side, while bow and stern (symmetrical) have a diameter of 38cm to ensure the necessary buoyancy. The parallel hull has a total width of 84cm.

Fin

The included fin increases directional stability, paddle efficiency and speed. This is particularly useful for sea crossings or when taking photographs from the boat.

Material and workmanship

The Anfibio Alpha XC is made out of a special fabric (210/420 urethane nylon), which has a high tear and abrasion resistance despite the low weight. In particular, the smooth and shiny surface of the tube’s coating is very scratch resistant.

All seams on the boat are welded and the tube seams are additionally sewn. It is a completely glue free construction. This saves weight and costs! We grant an extended 3-year warranty on materials and workmanship.

Application

The Alpha XC is the pocket-sized boat. A true go anywhere anytime boat for those who value portability; ideal for hikes to high alpine lakes, calm rivers, fjords and those secret fishing spots. As well as being small in size, with the seat fitted it is also comfortable on longer river floats!

The low weight and the small pack size make the Alpha XC particularly interesting for long distance trekking. Of course, it is also suitable for:

• easy river travel
• classic packrafting trips
• trekking with crossing rivers
• expeditions and adventure races
• spelunking and canyoneering
• alpine lake fishing
• geocaching

Since the model does not feature a spray skirt and has a smaller tube diameter, it is not recommended for whitewater (max. class 1).

Use

The boat is paddled kayak style and is inflated with a big nylon inflation bag, which attaches to the boat via a screw-in valve. No inflatable is indestructible of course, but in the (unlikely) event of sustaining damage, repairs can be done within a few minutes in the field with Patch`n Go, which bonds permanently to the urethane surface. Small pinholes can be sealed with Stormsure, a liquid urethane sealant.
