Itiwit X100 Inflatable Recreational Touring Sit-on-top Kayak 1 to 3 person 540lb

OK. Live in Inverness. New to Kayaking. Experience has been positive. This is my 3rd year with my Kayak and - on balance- I love it and was money well spent. After 2+ years the pump is getting a bit tired so we got a replacement from argos for £20... and now we both can inflate in half the time (cos the knackers one is still good to 2+ psi) We have had 4 punctures in 3 years. BUT they were easily enough repaired. The downside is that it takes about 24 hours to properly fix the puncture so we missed a couple of trips due to punctures. BUT we have also had a couple of slow punctures and the stability and buoyancy with punctures is good. This beast is hard to sink and hard to get into trouble with. We have taken our 'ducky' out in the following loacations: South Loch Ness Lochs. Loch Ness (Dores) and Loch Dochfour. Caledonian Canal. Loch Achilty. Rosemarkie/ fortrose to Chanonry point (choppy!). Findorn Bay (amazing... around high Tide) Descent of the Spey from Loch Insch to Aviemore (fun,. but hairy due to low water and inexperience) Loch Duntelchaig. Caledonian Canal. Loch Oich. And Beauly Firth (Redcastle) And Loch Linhe.. around Shuna Island. River Don. Been fun. One issue was that the puncture repair kits could not be sent through the post (and we were 100 miles away from our nearest decathlons store) but Customer services recommended a 3rd party glue that worked brilliantly and sent us a £10 voucher in compensation fro teh fact that we couldn't get a repair kit from them. I have really love my Kayak. It is stable is pretty choppy water. I have left the drain hole open and not sunk. I have left the scuppers open and got a wet bum but not sunk. I have had fun and am really glad I bought this. Skegs make it very well controlled. Construction is good. But 2 paddles. You need them, There are better Kayaks out there... but they cost more. There are alot of worse ones... and they aren't much cheaper. You will get a leak. But it is easy to fix. It comes with a repair kit. (You will need more than one!) But don't be put off. It will form leaks when you pack it away not when you are using it. And even with a hole it won't drown you, it will just slow you down and give you a wet bum! Oh.. and its damn heavy! You don't want to carry it too far. But its small enough to fit in any car. We have done 1 ways with a car at either end and had it in the boot of our picanto with the paddles on the back seat. Maybe not one for the hardcore kayaker but perfect for the enthusiastic amateur/ beginner. I am really impressed with mine.

Brilliant kayak. Very stable and easy to assembly and dismantle. When used for two or one person there is lots of room for extra goods.

Bought for my husband who is a large lad. He wanted greater stability getting in and out and this does that. He loves it. No issues when porting and design is very manoeverable. Sturdy in wind. Only issue is with seat position, which takes a while to get right. Otherwise his favourite thing!

We really tested the kayak out this summer. Taken it to the beach and to the river several times. Really sturdy dropstitch floor. Fast to pump up with our 2-way ITIWIT pump. We lost a seat valve on the beach and we were able to buy a replacement fairly inexpensively. Have used as a 3-man with our 8 year old in the middle seat and as a 2 man (with loads of room for stowing bags). I'd recommend putting all of the fins on as it makes a huge difference to going in a straight line! So far, really impressed.

As an experienced paddler of hard shell sit in & sit on top kayaks I was looking for something more portable that I could take out, mainly on sections of the upper Thames & some esturies here in the UK. More often alone but sometimes with another adult or Grand kid... this seems to fit the bill. It won't set the world on fire in terms of speed but this kayak is not about that.. for comfy, roomy leisurely paddling then this hits the nail on the head. My only previous experience of an inflatable kayak was with a very cheap & nasty boat that shall remain nameless to protect the guilty vendors of it.. suffice to say it really was a "challenge" in terms of.. well everything really. The X100 however is NOTHING like that.. it paddles & tracks nicely & is so easy to set up. I think it may be a squeeze 3 up but as a single or two seater with gear, is spot on! It also fits in the boot of my Honda S2000, with room for the rest of the day's gear too, so as for portability it's also well on the money! Easy to pack away (especially if using the deflate function of the pump..), and dries out easily too. Time will tell as to how tough & durable this is but for the money (less than half the cost of a Sea Eagle Explorer!!) as I said at the top.. "SO FAR, SO GOOD..!" Just a shame about the colour though :-)

We bought this recently after trying a 100 borrowed from a friend. This one had many advantages and so we would recommend if trying to decide between the two: 1. Floor being dropstitch is higher pressure and feels more rigid and stable (better for children climbing in and out) 2. Different materials mean drying is much quicker (no cover over floor or seat cushions) and can just be wiped with a towel before storing rather than being left out for some time 3. Better rucksack straps 4. Easier valve connections for pump

I had high hopes for this kayak. However, having returned 3 in a row with the same defect led me to give up and get a full refund: 1. Inflate the drop stitch base and inspect the underside. All 3 I bought had failures in the drop stitching towards the nose. 2: On one of the Kayaks the left baffle wouldn’t inflate over 1psi before the pressure release vale kicked in. The right baffle inflated correctly to 3 psi. This highlights serious issues within Decathlon quality control and makes for a very unsafe kayak. 3: All three Kayaks suffered from seam over glueing and glue smears on body of vessel. For £100 more (£600) I bought a Gumotex Twist 2. They only make inflatable Kayaks and the quality is absolutely amazing - worth the extra spend.

Really good canoe. I wanted something stable as the wife isn’t a great swimmer. We had tried another brand(not high pressure) and it was really hard work with poor tracking. The X100 is far better. It’s not like a rigid…but not far off. The drop stitch floor works really well. We’ve used if a dozen or so times now and have had no issues at all. Recommended.

Great Kayak although can be difficult to inflate when out with my 8 year old. A few trips on a calm river for 2 hours or so...easy paddling and decent support in seats. Easy to clean down and pack away.

Bought kayak a day ago and upon unboxing found it had a patch on the side. Wasn't happy but decided to go with it. Aftet a short time in the water the edges of the patch are coming away. No air is escaping but very disconcerting to see. Hopefully I will have time to exchange it today. Kayak is fantastic though. It is a shame they are coming from the factory like this. Staff were fantastic when purchasing. Hoping the return goes well.

Highly recommended, solid and firm. Good on the water easily holds recommended weight, however I would not go over the weight restrictions for your own safety.

Brought in around May 2021. Have used it about 40 times over the summer on the River Thames and on and around The Solent (UK). Have been very happy with it. It is big and stable and so great for taking the kids out. It feels solid and robust. It's easy to set up. My concern is jut how long it will last. There is lots of glue holding things together. But at 40 trips out that's £12.50 a trip and even if I get another 40 trips out of it next summer (which seems very likely) that's £6.25 per use, which I would be more than happy with.
