Sports reviews of Coleman 2-Person Sit-On-Top Deluxe Touring Kayak with Paddles

Customer Review: Good stable kayak for your money
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

I have never owned a Kayak before so I don't really have anything to reference this too. But since I only bought this for $80 I wasn't expecting anything great. My main objective was to use this for boating on a lake on an upcoming camping trip with me and my husband (I swim, he doesn't).

Upon first opening, it was folded neatly in a box and was easy to remove it and unfold it. Don't forget how it's folded so you can fold it back the same way!

I was already somewhat familiar with Coleman's inflating system (I have their airbeds also) and I wasn't that thrilled with it. It's got a dual locking system where the whole valve pushes into itself and then the typical float type closure.

There are 8 air ports to blow up. 4 ports for the footwell areas. One air port for each seat and two air ports for the main kayak. It's a good design if one of the large main ports should rip while you're kayaking. The other large port would probably keep you afloat.

So I took out my Ozark trail inflater/deflator pump and started inflating. Perhaps since my pump is an inflater/deflator, air kept backflowing out of the other pump port. I was getting frustrated because I couldn't get enough air into it.

On top of that, the valve locking system on these Colemans is somewhat tricky and I was about to return it. By the time you'd get the air pump out of the valve, a huge amount of air was lost.

So I finally figured out a great way to get it inflated easily and I would recommend using this method if you have a problem with the valve locking system. For the footwells and seats, I just manually blew air into them with my good ol' lungs. Believe me, I'm a small woman and it doesn't take much to blow them up. You'll be able to get a lot more air into them using your mouth. Now here's the trick. When it's full, take your tongue and put it into the valve so you get no air backflow. Then just push (with your tongue or head motion) the valve into itself. Then you can close the other air lock.

Since the main air sections (2) are large. I used the pump to get it mostly filled and then blew a little more with my lungs to get it nice and full.

The oars were fairly well made however the instructions to put together the oars were terrible. It just showed a picture. The oars consist of 3 metal tubes and 2 connectors. The metals tubes are supposed to go a certain way and it's up to you to figure this out. No help from the sparse manual here.

The oar holders on the kayak are a joke though. They're a soft rubber C and the oars fell right out when we picked up the kayak to put it into the water.

I was pleasantly surprised at how it worked though. It was easy to get into and it's comfortable (even wearing life vests). There are two storage areas covered by a net. The storage areas are good to put stuff into but don't expect to reach into it while you're on the kayak. It's not gonna happen. You'd probably fall into the water trying to reach them. The cup holders work well and are in a convenient spot.

The kayak is easy to steer and moves fairly decently (for an inflatable) in the water. There's two fins (skegs?) on the bottom. One was slightly twisted (from being in the box) but it didn't seem to affect the performance at all.

I overall like this kayak alot. It's great for recreation and good for people who are afraid of the water because it's very stable.

It's a good deal for the money!
