I am new to the sport. After getting dizzy looking at specs of various kayaks and their purposes, I chose the 10XT. It is a VERY stable and as other reviewers have revealed, easy to enter and exit. This kayak can turn very quickly and although tracking could be better (with a longer version), this one is ideal for use in lakes and reservoirs of Utah. I also love the cherry red with black coloring. built in paddle rest is a plus, dry storage is quite large. I added shark's teeth decals to the front to give it some character. While a little heavy, I can easily get it on and off my SUV (using the Malone Auto Racks SeaWing Stinger Combo carrier).
I love my new vapor 10xt. It’s exactly what i needed!
We purchased 2 Cherry Red Vapor XTs recently and are really enjoying them. They are extremely stable and maneuver well. The extra wide cock pit and extra padded seats are definitely worth it. The kayaks are very easy to enter and exit. We have used them on a river and in an ocean bay and they perform well.
Love this kayak..My wife bought one and let me try it,I was hooked ..I ordered my own in a different color..The quality is in it from bow to stern. Now I have an inflatable that Ineed to sell!!
Happy with the ‘yak; not happy with the deep scratches on the side near the Old Town logo; oh well.
Got this kayak for an anniversary gift from my Wife. Absolutely love it!
