Thigh straps are primarily meant for effective control in the boat (by bracing and edging), up to the point of rolling it. The ergonomic design offers a high degree of comfort and control.
Construction
The ergonomically cut 2x5-point thigh straps enclose the knee from two sides to provide excellent support. The straps are secured by two Anfibio
Daisy Chains and four Anfibio
Ladderlocks (both tiedowns available separately), and are highly customisable and also removable with four adjustable straps on the thigh straps.
The special shape and wide supports of the Anfibio thigh straps ensure a pleasant driving feeling without pressure points even when they sit tightly. In addition to the four points that fix the leg loop to the side tubes of the boat, these thigh straps have an additional grab handle that can also be used to carry the packraft.
Application
Being a kayaker by origin you will hardly quest the use of thigh straps. Being a beginner however, one should not overestimate its function. Packrafts in general are primarily designed for use without them. We recommend to start that way. Up to medium grades of white water there is no limitation for sure. Please note, a packraft generally has a thight fit!
Indications you may want thigh straps are: playboating (riding waves and holes), white water higher than grad III, top heavy loads in whitewater higher than class II.
However, they also are a good shoulder padding for carrying a partly packed boat. It transforms a packraft into a backpack itself.
Selection Options
Unless the boat is prepared in this respect (as in the Revo CL and Revo XL) two Anfibio
Daisy Chains and four Anfibio
Ladderlocks must be glued on.
Adhesive must be selected for self-installation (recommended due to positioning). Otherwise, assembly can be booked as a workshop service.
