The Itiwit X100 Inflatable Kayak

Well we have the cheaper ones and they are very good. We decided to treat ourselves to the more expensive X100. First impressions are very good

Yes, it does look good - very rigid when you picked it up. It's expensive though: I've just looked it up on the Decathlon site and it is currently £449.
Is the one you have used previously a drop-stitch floor too? If not, I'd be really interested to hear your thoughts about how the two compare.
We've had a couple of inflatable kayaks that we've had a lot of fun with: an Intex one and an Aldi one (the latter was only £40!)

The others are the 100 2 and 3 man they are very good indeed but not drop stitched floors but still quite ridged because the are material covered they are slowish to dry. The X100 is drop stitched with tubes like a sib and is very ridged and dries quickly. In Greece at the moment but will do a review once we get home

Yes, I have heard that the slow drying is the main disadvantage of the fabric-covered ones.

Look forward to your on-the-water review of the new one.

The Itiwit X100 Inflatable Kayak

If any of you are looking for an inflatable Kayak we have had this one for a long time and have used it a lot. I tried several before this and I have to say that for an all round inflatable Kayak this is absolutely lovely. It is of course an inflatable boat like a small Sib and can do a lot of what a small sib can do but this is all human power. We have had it on the Sea many times. This is however a nice little paddle in Constable Country for those that might be interested.
