Gumotex Colorado 450 SET -1

Gumotex Colorado 450 Set: A Six-Person Legend, Fully Equipped

What's Included in This Great Value Package

We've put this set together to cover all the basic needs of a large group of six people without the need for any immediate additional investments in the boat's propulsion or inflation:

• Gumotex Colorado 450 Raft: The most popular six-seater boat with an open stern and three inflatable seats, made of indestructible Nitrilon.
• 6x Rafting Paddle: Sturdy paddles with a solid duralumin shaft and a highly durable plastic blade. They’re built for powerful strokes and can withstand even hard impacts against a rocky bottom.
• 1x Double-action hand pump: A powerful pump that inflates as the piston moves up and down. You can use it to inflate a giant raft to operating pressure in just a few minutes right on the shore.

Colorado 450: A Versatile Boat for Calm Waters and Raging Rivers

The Gumotex Colorado is literally right at home on our rivers. This six-person boat is designed to handle everything with ease—from a leisurely summer cruise down the meandering Lužnice River to challenging descents on foreign rivers with rapids up to Class WW IV. It’s an incredibly versatile boat that impresses paddlers with its extreme stability, enormous load capacity, and overall durability.

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 water, the open stern will drain 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, which significantly reduces the amount of water entering the front of the cockpit when navigating smaller waves.
• Low centre of gravity: The massive side roll bars and optimally positioned seats keep the entire crew’s center of gravity safely close to the ground. This makes the Colorado practically an 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 with a thick synthetic rubber coating on both sides. The material can withstand hard impacts against rocks, rough scraping against summer shoals, and is completely resistant to UV degradation.
• Easy maintenance and repair: Unlike cheap PVC boats, Nitrilon remains highly reliable for bonding even after many years. Plus, it absorbs almost no water, so after a trip, you just need to wipe it down with a cloth, and within a few minutes it’s dry and ready to be packed up.

Who Is This Boat Ideal For, and Where Can You Go With It?

Colorado 450 covers a vast range of activities with a significant focus on regional nature conservation:

• Large groups and families: You can load up to six people, a pile of food, and barrels of supplies, and set off on a long journey with a complete sense of security.
• Whitewater: The boat easily handles technically challenging descents through sharp rapids using the internal securing straps (certified up to difficulty level WW IV).
• 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.
