FOLBOT カヤック新シリーズ「WATER ARMOR」

FOLBOT Kayaks: Introducing the New "WATER ARMOR" Series


The new "WATER ARMOR" model is the lightest and most compact in the series, with a total length of 3.1m and a weight of 11.5kg.
Easy to handle in narrow waterways and intricate areas, it's perfect for a wide range of outdoor activities, from touring to fishing and lake exploration.
It's an recommended entry-level model for those who "want to enjoy the water easily" or "want a kayak that's easy to carry,"

as well as for those who "want to try kayaking but are still undecided."
This time, as the second installment of our new model introduction, we'll be highlighting the features of WATER ARMOR.

 

 

Lightweight and Easy-to-Handle Compact Design

 

The Lightest Body in the Series

The WATER ARMOR is the lightest in the series at 11.5kg.
Its folded size is a very compact 75cm x 40cm x 35cm.
It's easy to load into a car and store at home, and its light weight makes it smooth to transport.
With fewer parts, even first-time users can easily assemble it and quickly deploy it on the field for immediate launch.
It's FOLBOT's most agile model, combining portability with ease of setup.

 

Stable Ride Despite its Compactness

Despite being the shortest in the series, its width of 75cm is the same as the original model (TACTICAL FOLDING KAYAK).
With its wide design, it offers high stability, making it safe for beginners to ride.
The shorter hull improves turning performance, providing agile maneuverability with a small turning radius.

Versatile Use for One Person (+ More)

While primarily designed for one person, by attaching the separately sold KIDS SEAT, you can also enjoy it with one adult plus a small child or pet.

 

FOLBOT's Essence Packed into a Compact Design

The WATER ARMOR also features common FOLBOT series equipment, including a nose guard to protect the bow of the hull and a deck pad for securing luggage and attaching accessories.

 

The nose guard protects the hull fabric in areas prone to impact and can be replaced if worn.

 


Deck pads placed on both the bow and stern offer excellent functionality and expandability, allowing you to secure luggage or attach accessories.
Furthermore, with Velcro loop surfaces, you can freely attach patches and Velcro-compatible small items, making it highly customizable.
The two-tone color scheme of a black bottom and gray deck follows the design of the original model, embodying the FOLBOT aesthetic.
Details feature FOLBOT motifs, clearly expressing the brand's world even in its compact form.

 

Practicality Perfect for Fishing

 

 

The compact 3.1m hull is easy to maneuver in small lakes and intricate waterways, offering excellent access to fishing spots.
By attaching the separately sold rod holders, it can be customized into a fishing-specific model with securely fixed rods.
Additionally, there's space on the deck for a small cooler box, providing practicality for casual fishing and day trips.

 

 

The WATER ARMOR is designed not only for those looking to start kayaking but also for those who want to enjoy water activities casually.
It's lightweight, easy to handle, and has the most accessible price point in the series.
Since it's compatible with repairs at domestic factories, it can last over 10 years with proper maintenance.
It's FOLBOT's new entry model, designed to be enjoyed easily and with peace of mind for a long time.
