When used for solo or tandem the Solar has ample space for carrying gear which makes it an ideal choice for those looking to do longer trips. An optional third seat can be added for a child or small adult.

Like the majority of the Gumotex range the Solar is constructed from Nitrilon. This material is perfect for inflatable kayak construction delivering a quick drying, lightweight and highly durable kayak. The Solar packs down to a convenient size allowing it to be easily transported and stored.

Gumotex Inflatable Kayak Construction

The Gumotex Solar is constructed from Nitrilon® material. This is a lighter version of the material used in rigid inflatable boats (RIBs) construction. Nitrilon® is manufactured in-house by Gumotex allowing for complete control over product quality.

Material composition:

  1. High strength Polyester (PES) fibre
  2. An outer layer of synthetic rubber
  3. Inner layer of a mixture based on natural rubber

The material is highly resistant to abrasion, aging and UV with a minimum tensile strength (1) of 3000/3000 N (sample 20 x 5 cm). This makes Nitrilon fabric an excellent material for the construction of inflatable watercraft.

Gumotex Manufacturing Process

Gumotex have been producing high quality inflatable products in the Czech Republic for over 60 years using unique materials and technologies, making Gumotex inflatables some of the very best in the world!

  • Each Gumotex inflatable kayak/canoe/boat/raft is manufactured by hand in the Czech Republic.
  • After the materials have been assembled and vulcanised, each & every boat is pressure tested and left inflated for 12 hours.
  • After final assembly they are inflated for a further 6 hours before having a final inspection and being prepared for packaging.

This means that each Gumotex Inflatable has been tested under inflatation twice before it is packaged! Such stringent testing and quality control has led to Gumotex being accredited with ISO9001 Quality Assured Management Systems, and this means that you can have complete confidence in the quality of your Gumotex product as soon as you open the box!

Gumotex do not use PVC in any of their boats - PVC products release Phthalates into the environment and this substance has a negative effect on human and environmental health.
