The Ponto 2.0 is an old friend in a fresh format. Completely revised, it becomes a true Ponton. It is the widest, most buoyant and incredibly stable packraft in the entire range of single packrafts. A whopping 136*42cm space inside suits fishermen, dog boaters, game haulers, bike rafters  and all that need a little extra.  Rugged and sturdy, this is the the Fatbike equivalent in the Packraft world.
 
Character
The Ponto is the “freighter” of the backpacking boats, sort of a "heavy truck" for those who do not require serious white water performance. The high volume hull provides excellent buoyancy for heavy cargo.
The Ponto fulfils two roles:
It is an extra-size (XXL) for paddlers, who are too tall or big for other singles or those who prefer a larger space for comfort, but prefer the agility and weight of a single!
It is a special boat for high volume transportation: travel with a lot of gear, taking (young) children and other increased space requirements (e.g. when fishing or hunting). It also makes a good sailboat tender.
Use 
 
The Ponto enables relaxing floats on high mountain lakes and fjords, geocaching, fishing, hunting and river trekking or classic packrafting – combined trips on water and land. A fast and roomy craft with the most cargo capacity of our single-person boats, but still being moderatly whitewater worthy! 
 
The Ponto is paddled kayak style and is inflated with a big nylon inflation bag which attaches to the boat via a screw-in valve. Scoop up air and push it into the boat. Then top-off to full pressure with the twist lock mouth valve.
 
Excursus: Open packrafts
 
There are good reasons to choose a boat without a spray deck. One of them is weight. A Spray Deck adds 600-700g and an open boat is less complicated to transport and get into. There are no loose parts such as the coaming and skirt, and in warmer climates without serious whitewater paddling deck-free provides a greater sense of freedom. Many packrafters are happy to avoid assembling a Spray Deck. 
 
Construction
 
The Ponto is manufactured from same material and uses the same construction methods as other packrafts by MRS (like the Microraft or the Adventure X2 ) and so is no less robust. The Ponto is part of the MRS StreamlineSL optimization. The excellent adhesive strength of the coating makes the Pono’s hull extremely durable. The smooth and shiny surface is very scratch resistant and easy to repair. The construction of the tubes and floor exceeds the strength of the fabric making the Ponto proportionally very tough for its weight, certainly a lot tougher than their weight and packed size would suggest. It require virtually no maintenance and we provide an extended warranty of three years.
