Great little light weight kayak
In 2013, I bought a similar version of the Argo- at that time it was called a Vortex. As an older and shorter woman, I wanted a kayak I could easily lift myself. It also helped that it fit into my smaller hatchback. Even though I have a longer and more expensive kayak, I will not let go of this one. It has held up well and is my go to kayak for spur of the moment paddles. My only complaint is the lack of foot braces, otherwise I would give it 5 stars. A friend installed some aftermarket foot braces and now the kayak is perfect!

Easy for a woman to handle
I am only 5 ft tall. I love that I don’t have to ask anyone to help me carry this. It fits inside my SUV, so I don’t have to lift it over my head and strap it down. It is really sturdy. I go out 3-4 times a week. I am so happy.

Tough kayak.
We bought a set of the 80x for Christmas. After tackling the Linville River and all the rocks in the river, we headed home. One of the kayaks loosened. It fell off the vehicle and got hit by a semi truck. Only damage was road rash, rubber burn and the back handle broke off. Tough kayak. Out grandson would halve been heartbroken. I have an Argo 100X and love it.

things super
first day at lake caught a kokanee
second day at this big slough-pond caught a largemouth bass,
thing pulled me around some!
bin on fraser river few times now and the tight sloughs... very comfy!
my first rigid kayak, even in wind with 2 wake-boats around me i had no
problem, things easily moves around to stay outta trouble, was fun!
more than what i thought it would be, cheap price, quality, very happy
and do not need a 10 foot, this thing tracks good when you figure its
small size out... keeping this!!

I live in British Columbia Canada. In light of Covid understanding the Pelican Argo 80X Kayak will not be obsolete. Are you able to tell me if any of your suppliers will be receiving this product this year? Much appreciated, Karen
Unfortunately, we have no visibility on in-store inventories. Our products are generally purchased by head offices and sent from their distribution centers through to their stores. We recommend that you use the retailer locator and call them directly for in-store availability details. https://www.pelicansport.com/ca_fr/storelocator/index
We only sell our boats through retailers; there is no possibility to buy directly from Pelican. With the end of the summer season, many dealers will be ordering their new inventory in March 2021. We suggest that you check with them at that time.

I’m a 5.4 female with 110 lb weight. I’m not experiential kayaking very much. If I want to buy a kayak it should be based on my weight or height or even both?
We recommend a 10ft kayak for a 5ft and over person. There are a lot a factors when buying a kayak, you have to look a the hull types and features to make sure this kayak respond to your needs. A person that is 6ft and over we would recommend a 12ft kayak. If you want to try our kayak finder, maybe it'll help you make the perfect pick: https://www.pelicansport.com/us_en/kayakfinder

I weigh 215 pounds, some websites say this can hold 200 to 250 pounds. Is this true? Will this kayak take my weight?
Unfortunately no. The maximum capacity of this kayak is 200 pounds.
