Frequently Bought Together
If you're in the market for an inexpensive kayak, this would make a great "Impulse" purchase!
There aren't many better values around when you compare all that you get with Perception's Impulse 10.0 Kayak! It may not have all the bells and whistles of kayaks costing twice as much, but there is plenty of room to attach them if you need bells and whistles. You'll find the Impulse actually arrives with a few unexpected extras that add to its versatility and comfort. From relaxing flat water cruising to heart-pounding fitness paddling, this kayak is stable and zippy enough that beginning and intermediate paddlers will quickly find their sweet spot.
The Impulse is perfect for grabbing and going at a moment's notice. At only 10' long and a mere 44 pounds, this kayak is easy to throw on top of your car, head to the nearest lake and carry down to the water. With a capacity of 275 pounds (including you and your gear), the Impulse is designed to comfortably take you wherever your bow is pointed.
So why choose a sit-inside over a sit-on-top kayak? The lower center of gravity makes it easier to paddle and you are more sheltered from cold water. You also have the option of adding a spray skirt (sold separately) for even greater protection. Plus, you'll look really cool executing the Eskimo roll (a skill you'll need to learn to safely recover yourself in the event of a capsize).
Hull Design
Perception's custom, high-grade polyethylene plastic and distinct rotational molding process provides exceptional strength and durability. With its seamless, one-piece construction, the Impulse is highly UV-, abrasion- and impact-resistant for years of trouble-free performance. The thickness is varied throughout the hull for extra strength when needed, but without additional weight. This kayak is easily repaired, recyclable and manufactured with less waste than conventional roto-molding.
Comfort
The Zone® DLX Seating System features patented, multiple adjustment options for terrific ergonomic support and fit for comfortable touring. Easily tuned components include flexible wings, leg support and backrest to eliminate hard pressure points. The Keepers Foot Brace System™ utilizes durable foot pegs that smoothly reposition to many length settings by reaching forward with your hands to engage the track. By adjusting to fit your personal leg length, the Impulse lets you brace your feet for more leverage and to maximize your paddling effort. The combing is padded around your knees and thighs (which also increases your comfort when portaging the Impulse upside down on your shoulders). You'll find molded-in handles at the bow and stern that not help with carrying, they also provide handy tie-off points.
Storage
A large, self-draining stern tankwell and a molded-in cockpit gear tray, both with bungee cord rigging, give you handy places to secure your dry bags (sold separately) and other essential gear. A molded-in cup holder completes the built-in features.
If you don't already own them, you'll want to order a kayak paddle and a life jacket (both sold separately) so you'll be ready to splash your kayak as soon as possible!
