Would it be possible to fit (just the kayak, without backpack/extras) inside a larger "backpacking" pack of 60L or more?

If the pack is shaped like a Duluth pack and the yak has never been inflated

You probably could fit the Kayak into another backpack - but I'm not sure about the seat - which is in fact the backpack for the kayak. You turn the backpack inside out - sort of - and it velcros onto the bottom of the kayak and becomes a surprisingly comfortable seat. But then again you could use the kayak without the seat if you were out ruffing it and didn't want to use the backpack system.... An interesting thought.....

There are no "extras' The backpack IS the kayak. There are only two extra pieces and those make the spray skirt and the seat back. It's fairly large--so I wouldn't imagine it could be anything but self contained.

As noted previously, you need the backpack to use the kayak. I just put a tape measure to one of my folded kayaks: 25" (L) x 20" (W) x 7" (D). These measurements will vary a bit depending on how the kayak is folded.

Not silly at all...I use it as a solo Kayak and put my pack in the front to help off set the weight.

Yes. The bladder is completely removable and the pack can be used as a small day pack. Even with the bladder inside, there is still a small bit of zippered storage space. Plenty of room for a snack, small camera, etc.

Depends on what gear it could fit it. You might want the mares deluxe backpack tho. It's a little bigger

Yes, you could strap something to the exterior of this pack if needed, but it has so much room inside that if you can't fit everything in it, you might want to rethink your equipment. I fit my bivy, sleeping bag, air mattress, pillow, and sitting pad all in the internal sleeping bag compartment with no problem at all.

You can put one or two seats "anywhere" inside the kayak. I actually took one seat and turned it around when I go out paddling by myself, to use as additional backrest to my seat, although it's not necessary. You wont be disappointed.

There's a little bit of upward flex, but I wouldn't expect enough to meet the "V" needs you describe. You'd really have to cinch your straps down to achieve that, and it would probably deform your kayak as well.

Yes, you can.. after removing the padding @the bottom. it's a convertable backpack !For more info watchhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GlwMwD87LLQ

My pack is similar and the cover fits but only if no extra load is carried in the front.

Hi. Only my opinion. You would need 2 pair of them. One for each kayak. I'm sure the straps could go over both.

If you could flatten it out it might fit. There's a fair amount of space in the top section. You just might not be able to put other items in there. I currently carry two Gopros, two batteries, a naked case, a waterproof case, various mounts, two usb cables, and a battery pac in mine.

Yes - the cooler (which holds 4 bottles) fits in the top portion of the pack. You could also squeeze another 2-4 bottles in around it if you needed to...

It packs up to about the size of a small fold up camping chair. Depending on your kayak, it might work.

Short answer: probably. I carried assorted gear in there and never wanted for space. It can feel a little cramped when the reservoir is full, and it's definitely better suited to flat items, but a thin pair of shoes should be fine.

An army laundry bag should be sufficient for the kayak itself (i.e. no pump or paddles), provided the kayak is cleaned, dried, and neatly rolled (NOT folded). Deflate completely flat, put the seats in the middle, fold sides of the kayak onto the floor into lengthwise thirds, then roll, TIGHTLY, from the front towards the back (where the plugs are). The resulting musubi/sushi shaped roll should fit neatly in any standard high capacity bag (2800+ ci), or a laundry bag. Duffel can be **OVERKILL** only if you're not packing a pump and breakdown paddles. Only other caveat about using a duffel bag, the internal seams of the bag can rub on the creased edges of the inflatable, causing minor scrapes & scratches that could possibly leak. That's why I suggest a laundry bag, the chances of this happening are much less.

It would be tight, but it COULD be done. I usually leave my pack under the vestibule and my boots in the tent with me. You may be able to fit your pack inside standing up and leaning against a wall of the tent (at the end where your feet are. The only thing is the inside upper part of the wall is mesh and it might be easy to rip with your pack.

Personally I don't use the kayak for fishing but behind the seat there is enough space to fit a regular backpack. I think fishing might be a little difficult because the hook of the fishing pole can be snag on the upper surface of the kayak that is like a very strong canvas, but I saw some videos on youtube where people are fishing in this kayaks because they are very stable and comfortable
