Gumotex Colorado 360 Set (Set 3): A Compact Legend with All the Extras
What's Included in This Ultimate Package
We’ve carefully put together this package here so that you’ll have top-of-the-line amenities for your entire four-person crew without having to buy anything else:
- Gumotex Colorado 360 Raft: A compact four-person boat with an open stern and two inflatable seats, made of extremely durable Nitrilon.
- 4 TNP Allround Rafting Paddles: Sturdy and ergonomic paddles with a solid duralumin shaft and a highly durable blade. They’re built for hard strokes and can even handle contact with rocky bottoms.
- 4 Elements Rover Life Jackets: Certified safety vests with an excellent fit. We keep the names of the variants and sizes in plain Czech so you can easily navigate the selection process when configuring your set. These vests guarantee freedom of movement and give you complete confidence on the river.
- 1 Bravo Double-Action Hand Pump: A sturdy pump that lets you inflate the raft to operating pressure in just a few minutes right on the shore.
- 1x Bravo Pressure Gauge: A precise pressure gauge that gives you absolute confidence that you're inflating to the exact specified pressure without risking damage to the tires.
Colorado 360: A More Agile Brother for Four
The Model 360 takes all the best features of its larger sibling but packs them into a significantly more compact design. Thanks to its 360 cm length, this raft is much more agile on the water and responds more quickly to the crew’s steering. It offers generous space for four adult paddlers, making it a fantastic choice for smaller groups and families who want to enjoy maximum comfort on both calm and whitewater.
Shape and Hydrodynamics: Open Stern and Perfect Stability
The ship's shape and design are optimized for the safety of the crew:
- 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 roll bars and optimally positioned seats keep the entire crew's center of gravity firmly on the ground, making the Colorado a virtually unrollable 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 radiation.
- Easy maintenance and care: Gumotex boats do not absorb water. Once you pull the boat ashore, simply wipe down the material, and within a few minutes the boat will be dry and ready to be packed into its 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:
- Small groups and families: Load up four people and a few barrels of supplies, and you're ready to set out on a long journey with an unshakable sense of security.
- 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: Using the included pump and pressure gauge, always follow a systematic procedure when inflating the raft. 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 the very last step should you fully inflate the side chambers. This will allow the raft to “settle” perfectly into its proper shape. Once on the water, monitor the raft’s balance very carefully—for a more compact raft, it’s crucial to position the heavier pair of passengers toward the rear so that the raft responds promptly to the helmsman’s commands. And remember: an open stern is invaluable in big waves, but on a calm, deeply loaded 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.
