Coleman 2-Man Inflatable Touring Kayak With Paddles

My boys were loving this kayak until it got two holes in it within the first week they had it. Not sure how the holes got there they only used it in our neighborhood lake.

I BOUGHT THIS FOR MY 9 AND 10 YR OLD GIRLS. IT IS GREAT FOR TOOLING AROUND THE LAKE. IT IS NOT EASY TO TIP, FAST TO INFLATE AND ALL THREE OF US OR ONE OF US CAN GO AT A TIME. WE ALL LOVE IT.

found it to be a good value for the money. only have taken it out by myself on a lake. its a bit hard to manuver if there's much wind or current;
otherwise i liked it a lot. also inflates/deflates quickly (10 min) with the coleman car pump.

For the price the kayak is acceptable. It didn't steer very well. A lot of over correcting. It wasn't like the real thing but it served the purpose and I went quite a ways with it. Not good in the wind at all. I put a 10 year old in the front. Not much room for legs up there.
I also found it difficult to get out of. All in all it was still a nice product for just goofing off in.

I'm 226 lbs, it was not good for me. I kept taking in water until I has to bail out :)

For anyone under 200lbs it should be great.

I would have kept it if it had higher sides.

These Kayaks were purchased strictly on price. They are an incredible value for the money, and cost considerably less through Wal-Mart site-to-store (free shipping!) than from the Coleman site.
We have on-board air on our Jeep, so they inflated in just seconds. I don't know how my review would be different if I was inflating them with a foot pump or some other method. That could be a consideration.
They seem extremely sturdy and survived their maiden voyage of four days' use without any ill effect. We used them on calm and fairly-calm water on two lakes. They were just fine for all mixes of passengers; two children, two adults, one adult, one child, and one of each. When the children (teens, age 13 actually) went out alone, they found it most efficient to paddle while kneeling instead of sitting in the front seat.
The only negative seems to be the odd placement of the rear set of paddle holders, which are heavy rubber black hooks affixed to each side. I found that I hit them with the paddles while paddling, and had to re-adjust my stroke slightly to avoid them. Not a big deal, but could be an issue if you were going to be out for an extended time. And plan on getting wet; if there's a way to paddle without dripping paddle water all over yourself, I sure don't know it.
Use the money you're saving by purchasing these great kayaks to buy some life vests, and go have some fun on the water!

I have owned this product for over a year, and I can say that it exceeds expectations in all areas. The built is durable. The kayak is well designed and its made of several diferent compartments that are inflated individually, so if you puncture a hole on it, you only loose one compartment, and the kayak stays a float. Being made of plastic/rubber it can be easily repaired at home (note - I have not had any holes ooccur yet). It handles very well with one person aboard. I tried it with 2 adults but it becomes unstable. I'd say it is good enough for one adult and one child, or 2 children or the best use in my opinion: ONE ADULT. This product has given me HOURS of entertainment for a very reasonable cost all over the lakes of oregon. DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED.

It was tough to blow up. I couldn't close the valve fast enough. That was the only problem. Everything else was great.
