Advanced Elements Expedition Elite Kayak Review Video

In this video, we take a closer look at the Advanced Elements Expedition Elite, a touring-focused inflatable kayak designed for longer days, multi-day trips and expedition-style paddling.

We explore how its streamlined hull, rigid drop-stitch floor and built-in skeg contribute to efficient paddling and confident tracking, while also considering its stability, manoeuvrability and ability to carry touring gear.

The review also covers the kayak’s durable construction, spacious cockpit, generous storage and highly adjustable seating system, including the features designed to improve comfort over longer distances.

As with all our kayak reviews, we assess the Expedition Elite across performance, construction, setup and pack down, portability and comfort. We also consider how its more involved inflation process, fabric-covered exterior and heavier packed weight affect day-to-day convenience.

The video finishes by looking at the type of paddler and trip the Expedition Elite is best suited to, with particular attention to long-distance touring, expedition use and paddlers who value comfort and on-water efficiency.
