Native Watercraft Magic 12 Kayak


(Shown above with optional accessories)
We have a new boat in stock that we feel will meet the needs of both recreational paddlers and kayak fishermen. The hallmark of the Magis is its extremely efficient and stable hull. This boat tracks well and is extremely comfortable to paddle longer distances. The sculpted boat sides provide stable water entry and exit. The First Class Seating chair allows air flow under the seat making this the most comfortable boat on the market. The "Plug and Play" accessory system utilizes integral channels molded into the side of the boat into which you can plug rod holders, paddle holders, thigh pads and telescoping mounting bars.

Stop by today to see the Magic 12 and it's bigger cousin the Magic 14 Tandem or call to schedule your own private demo!

Clothing that Works Like a Tool


Guys want clothing that works like a tool. It should not wrinkle - even after you stuff it into your pack. If it gets wet, it should dry quickly - while you're wearing it. The style should look great whether you are checking into the hostel, touring the museum, or going out to dinner. Most of all, it should be breathable and super-comfortable to wear all day long. P&P stocks travel clothing for men that accomplishes all of these goals. Shop from the best names in the business: Patagonia, Ex Officio, Royal Robbins and Mountain Hardware.

Clothing for Yoga, Pilates and Indoor Workouts


We've greatly expanded our selection of clothing for Yoga, Pilates and other indoor workouts. Comfortable, durable and supportive tops and bottoms that allow amazing freedom of movement - all from Prana, and available in styles to fit any body type. Don't limit this clothing to workouts only! The tops go great with skirts for festivals or weekends working in the yard. The bottoms are fabulous for lounging around the house in total comfort. Come by soon for the best selection!

Spring Clothing for the Outdoor Enthusiast


When you think of Pack & Paddle, you automatically think of gear that works well in the outdoors. Did you know that we carry clothing that is just as technically designed as the latest pack or sleeping bag? Things like shirts that are ventilated, resist odor and dry right on your body. Pants with zip off legs, a panel crotch (for added mobility) and (of course) lots of pockets. If you are headed into the outdoors, P&P is your headquarters for clothing that works as hard as your gear.

Travel Clothing for Women


Traveling well means doing a lot with very little. Having the right clothing helps. At Pack & Paddle you'll find an extensive collection of clothing with these important attributes: Comfortable, Ventilated, Quick Drying, Packable and Durable. For women this year, we're excited to introduce Ex Officio to our lineup. Their stretch fabrics and interesting designs are perfect for local and international travel.
