Michael Hemsworth — March 14, 2020 — Lifestyle
The number of consumers who ascribe to the weekend warrior lifestyle is on the rise, which is seeing new products like the 'Tucktec' kayak be created to offer them an easier way to keep gear ready for use. The kayak was developed by South Carolina-based Dan Norton and measures in at 10 feet in length, but features a flatpack design that can be easily folded down when not in use. This will allow users to bring it with them anywhere in their trunk without having to opt for roof-mounted alternatives.
The 'Tucktec' kayak is capable of handling up to 350 pounds of weight and is crafted from 100% recycled high-density polyethylene that can be recycled again once the unit has reached its end-of-life.
