Gumotex Colorado 360 Set (Set 2): A compact legend equipped for two
What's Included in This Great Value Package
We've carefully designed this package to provide you with top-of-the-line equipment for a two-person crew, while still leaving plenty of room in this compact raft for barrels and tents:
- Gumotex Colorado 360 Raft: An incredibly maneuverable four-person boat with an open stern and two inflatable seats, made of extremely durable Nitrilon.
- 2 TNP Allround 505.0 Paddles: High-quality, durable, and ergonomic paddles with duralumin shafts. They’re built for powerful strokes and can withstand even rough contact with rocky bottoms.
- 2 Elements Rover Life Jackets: Certified safety vests (EN ISO 12402-5) with an excellent fit. We always use purely Czech names for the variants and sizes to ensure you have the clearest possible overview when configuring your order. The vests do not restrict movement and will give you complete confidence on the river.
- 1 EG Bravo 4 ALU RED Pump: A sturdy double-action hand pump with an aluminum body that lets you inflate a boat in just a few minutes.
- 1x Bravo Pressure Gauge: A precise tire pressure gauge that gives you absolute confidence that you're driving with optimal tire pressure without the risk of overinflating the tires.
Colorado 360: Agility and Ample Space for Two
The Model 360 takes all the best features of the larger, six-seater Colorado and packs them into a significantly more agile and compact design. Although the boat is designed to accommodate up to four people, this two-passenger configuration offers you a tremendous level of luxury. You’ll get plenty of legroom and unlimited storage space for all your supplies on a week-long cruise. Plus, the shorter hull responds much more nimbly to the steering of a smaller crew.
Shape and Hydrodynamics: The Open Stern in Practice
The boat's shape and design are optimized for safety on the water:
- Open transom (transom): If you run into a big wave and take on a lot of water, the open stern will let it out in a matter of seconds. The boat won't fill with water, it won't get heavier, and you won't have to stop to spend time bailing it out.
- Raised bow: It rides the waves elegantly and with great confidence, thereby significantly reducing the amount of water that floods the front of the cockpit when passing through weirs and rapids.
- Low centre of gravity: The massive side tubes and optimally positioned seats keep the paddlers' center of gravity firmly on the water, making the raft practically an uncapable tank.
Nitrilon Material: Czech Quality That Will Last for Years
The legendary durability of Gumotex boats hinges entirely on their premium material:
- Composition of Nitrilon: It is a high-strength polyester fabric coated on both sides with a thick layer of synthetic rubber. The material can withstand hard impacts against rocks, summer scraping against shoals, and offers excellent resistance to UV-induced aging.
- Easy maintenance: Gumotex boats do not absorb water. Once you pull the boat ashore, simply wipe it down, and within a few minutes it will be dry and ready to be packed into its carrying bag.
Who Is This Boat Ideal For, and Where Can You Go With It?
This comprehensive set covers a wide range of activities and is a fantastic choice for eco-conscious travelers:
- Spacious adventures for two: The couple enjoys incredible comfort and the ability to load a huge amount of extra gear or comfortably seat a large dog.
- Whitewater: The boat easily handles technically challenging descents through sharp rapids using the internal leg straps.
- Regional Nature Trails: An excellent choice for exploring our rivers in protected areas. Protecting these places is incredibly important, and we support sustainable tourism, which demonstrates their significance in practice. We must cherish these gems, especially at a time when absurd efforts are emerging on the political scene—we must not forget that there is, for example, Macinka, who wants to abolish the Protected Landscape Area. By taking a river cruise, you clearly demonstrate the importance of preserving these areas.

Expert advice: With the included pump and pressure gauge, preparing the boat will be much easier if you follow the correct procedure. First, lightly inflate both main side chambers to about 80% of their capacity. Then inflate the floor and both seats to the exact specified pressure, checking it regularly with the pressure gauge. Only as a final step, fully inflate the side chambers. This will ensure the raft “settles” perfectly into its correct shape. Once on the water, pay very close attention to the raft’s balance —since there are only two of you in a four-person raft, it’s crucial to distribute heavy luggage toward the center and, if necessary, slightly toward the front, so that the raft doesn’t rest solely on the rear and can respond promptly to the helmsman’s commands. And remember: an open stern is invaluable in big waves, but on a calm summer river, water may seep in slightly through it. Therefore, pack all dry items exclusively in sturdy, waterproof containers and secure them firmly to the seats.
