NRS Orion Packraft

COMING SPRING 2026! Please contact [email protected] for more information.

Whether your self-support aspirations involve nights in the wild, bike-to-paddle along remote streams, or backcountry hunting trips, the Orion Packraft is built expedition-tough, with the space and volume you need to bring home the (literal) bacon.

• Increased carry capacity ideal for packing medium to large-sized game, gear for multi-day trips or a bike.
• Highly durable expedition-grade PVC-free nylon has an internal and external TPU coating, increasing air retention in case of abrasion.
• TPU-coated nylon is easily repairable, extending product life.
• Overlapping, heat-welded seams are further sealed with interior taping to create an incredibly strong mechanical bond for fail-proof air retention.
• Three-chamber design, with two main tube chambers and a full-length inflatable seat, increases buoyancy and stability.
• The fully adjustable Vertex HD Backband features breathable padding, a contoured shape and internal stiffeners for dialed-in comfort and durable lumbar support.
• Thigh-strap compatible. The Orion includes six (6) aluminum anti-spin D-rings (3 per side) intended for use with any Vertex Thigh Strap system (sold separately).
• TIZIP® stern closure creates fully waterproof, easy-to-access storage and decreases inflation time.
• Self-bailing floor continually releases water, increasing maneuverability in splashier waters.
• Six (6) ultralight 1" nylon webbing loops and two (2) anti-spin aluminum d-rings provide secure attachment points for grab line and on-water essentials.
  Includes packraft, Vertex HD Backband, inflation bag and repair kit.
  Three-year retail warranty; one-year retail warranty for TIZIP closure.
  For optimum performance—especially with heavier loads or bigger whitewater—use a pump to bring your NRS packraft up to pressure. We recommend the K-Pump Mini (Item # 80075.01).

NRS Product Tip
Note: Long exposure to sun and high temperatures can increase air pressure in packraft seats, leading to overinflation. Overinflation can damage seams or worse, pop the seat. NRS suggests bleeding off air pressure or fully deflating in these conditions.
