Quest 442 ABS Superlite - 4.42m Single Sit-In Touring Kayak

The Quest 442 Superlite is the perfect kayak for small to medium sized paddlers with its narrow beam, low deck height, and light carry weight. The ABS plastic using Cross-Lite construction creates a super light kayak (just 23 kgs) that is easy transport. 

The Quest 442 Superlite ticks all the boxes including durability and comfort that's flexible for you. The premium comfort seat provides you with excellent support for all-day paddling and is adjustable (forward and back) so you can find your perfect seating position. 

ABS thermoformed plastic kayaks are better than regular polyethylene as the acrylic surface of a thermoformed kayak is harder and more scratch-resistant than polyethylene. 

These type of kayaks are typically 20-30% lighter than equivalent polyethylene kayaks.
