Folding
Kayak “TAIMEN”
We
offer the folding kayak “TAIMEN”. Being one of the
most popular folding boats among Russian kayak fans, it is produced in Russia
by the Moscow military plant “SALUT”, which has
30 years of experience in kayak making.

Folding
kayaks have been a proven alternative to hard-shell boats over several decades.
Their construction peculiarities – a collapsible
frame and a skin – give you a lot of flexibility in your travel plans.
They can be easily transformed from boats up to 6 meters (19 feet) in length
to one or two bags or backpacks. In today’s world, folding kayaks meet
a range of requirements:
- Little
storage space;
- Hassle-free
in transportation in a car trunk and even plane for drop offs;
- One
adult can carry and handle the whole boat.
