P&H Volan 160 Lightweight Touring Kayak
The P&H Volan 160 is the "Swiss Army Knife" of the P&H range. Versatility is its brand. It is an efficient craft for day touring and has enough capacity for overnights. It packs plenty of performance for those who love playing in dynamic conditions.
The Volan is built just for paddlers seeking maximum fun and memorable experiences on day and weekend trips; tracking straight when flat, turning crisply on edge or carving a turn. The Volan has comfortable performance for both the journey and any play spots you find on the way. The short, 16' length provides ample hull speed for most adventures, and helps keep weight to an absolute minimum for nimble performance and easy handling.
