The Expression is known for ultimate comfort. A roomy sit-in cockpit is easy to get in and out of, and the thickly padded premium seat with contoured backrest has a seatback tilts forward or backward and can be raised or lowered-all by simply pulling or releasing the straps. Footrests and padded thigh supports can be adjusted while seated to find the position that fits you best. |
Offers maximum stability for both beginners, as well as experienced paddlers carrying a full load of camping gear. Effortless to paddle, its sleek hull is fast and tracks straight like a freight train to keep you on course in current, waves, and wind. |
The Expression has built-in buoyancy and stability that lets you relax on the water. Reflective perimeter safety lines enhance visibility once the sun goes down and make re-entry easy in case of emergency. A skeg in the rear can be quickly lowered from the cockpit to enhance tracking and stay on course in wind, current, and waves. |
Like all Perception kayaks, the Expression is designed for maximum durability and optimized weight. This is the result of its high-density polyethylene and one-piece roto-molded construction that provides exceptional UV, impact, and abrasion-resistance. Ocean and saltwater-optimized hardware and finishes provide long-lasting enjoyment. |

We're looking forward to getting many years and adventures out of these.
2024 EDIT: It's been four great summers with these kayaks and we've taken them on quite a few adventures. The hulls are really tough; a couple of scrapes from river rocks and maybe a few scratches from transporting in the back of the pickup. But otherwise they look and work like new. We get compliments from time-to-time on their colorful patterns. If I had to buy more kayaks I'd still go with this model, or maybe a shorter version by Perception. Great brand, great yaks.
