Much more than some tubing and fabric!
5 Stars
Much more than some tubing and fabric!
I have to admit I was skeptical of paying $150 for some skimpy aluminum tubing and cheap fabric slapped together. Fortunately, this product is anything but cheap. The quality is amazing, the tubing is thick and very sturdy along with the duck canvas straps which are very firm (in a good way) with comfy padding. You can tell legitimate intelligent design went into making this. It is designed for ease of use and functionality yet built for durability. Furthermore, an install kit comes with the product for you to mount this to your canoe seamlessly. I was not aware it actually replaces the middle support of your canoe and makes it stronger but am pleasantly surprised. For help understanding and installing, there are even videos on YouTube. The cherry on top is the American company/manufacturer aspect, I am ecstatic to support this American company and keep our dollars here! Now, I am shocked at how affordable this product is and very pleased with my purchase. Works flawlessly with my 70 lb Grumman Eagle that let’s me carry it by myself. The only knock I would have is marketing, this should be advertised way stronger than how it is now. I think if this was advertised reflective of how well it’s designed and built along with the American aspect, they would always be sold out. 10/10!

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely the best portage yoke I have ever used.
Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2020
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
I was hesitant for some time about buying this yoke. I have a heavy Grumman canoe and I wasn't keen on drilling holes in the gunwale, equally I was worried that the yoke might not handle the weight of the canoe. I knew the seat was comfortable as I sat on one for hours on a fishing trip in a friends canoe. After seeing one on another Grumman online I decided I needed to give it a try. I couldn't be more pleased. It's so easy to carry the canoe and having it a few inches higher gives me a better line of sight on the portage trails. Most importantly however you can adjust the center of gravity by sliding the canoe slightly forward or back which is really handy when you tie in paddles, poles and anything else when portaging.

4.0 out of 5 stars Does what it should
Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2020
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
I haven't used it for a long portage but it does support the short walks with it comfortably. As a seat it works but more for a child than adult. It sits rather low in the down position and too high in the up to be practical for a seat. Installation was easy with clear instructions. Cost effective option.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best portage pad IMO
Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2022
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
I used this for my entire 2021 & 2022 canoe season and I would say this is the most comfortable portaging pad on the market. I also love the third seat as a bonus seat, its not the most comfortable but it works.

I purchased one of these directly from the mfg. and I was disappointed in how expensive it was for what you get. It could be built more heavy duty for the very high price you pay.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works amazing
Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2023
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
This is an absolute must for protaging a canoe. Shoulder straps are very comfortable and works great as a seat for anyone under 100 pounds. Only reason I gave 4 stars and not 5 is the bars were a little bent wrong but after portaging a couple times they adjusted to how they are supposed to be.

2.0 out of 5 stars OK seat, terrible instructions
Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2021
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
Bought this to be a 3rd seat for a child in a Coleman canoe. Installed this today - the directions were.....something to be desired and what I'd expect to see coming from wish or aliexpress - not from a US based company. It said for Coleman canoes to move the center thwart towards the stern 11". Not possible as the thwart would be too wide for the hull so I installed just on the other side of it towards the bow.

Pictures were essentially useless so ended up just figuring it out on my own. I'm sure the folks that created this are around boats and canoes all day long so are familiar with the terminology but for us novices, that's not the case. It says to install the yolk and then 'pad retainer.' What the heck is a pad retainer? The pictures for this part are essentially the the same thing - grainy but close up, low res and black and white. I screwed the self tapping screws into the holes but now I can't rotate the bar and the pad will not go past the screw/ spacer so can't use as a yolk. Doesn't bother me I guess as I won't use this as a yolk but only as a seat. Frustrating to say the very least. For $140, send some better instructions in color from a high res printer, explain what a pad retainer is and other terminology, provide better pictures of the cad drawing and then close up of the part in question. Or just provide a link to a youtube video to show proper installation with various canoes.

4 stars for the seat, 0 stars for the instructions.
