The Oru Kayak is simply amazing! For those that don't have room for a hard shell kayak or for those that want the ultimate in portability the Oru kayak is for you. Just as durable, stable and fast as a regular kayak without the need for roof racks or storage space. Setup is simple putting you on the water in minutes.

if it or when it fails, be it a hole or crack, you could always keep a small fiberglass kit with you. Or even do a whole fiberglass wrap after the 20k+ wear from regular use you mentioned.

I admit I am able to have my Ocean Kayak BGProwler because I have a storage unit it fits in but still, for $1300 and only a capacity of 300lbs, people
could get a real kayak that will last way longer. I can guarantee this would not have made it through this last 95mile trip I did, one buckle breaks or piece of plastic and then what? I can patch my kayak if a hole gets warn into it ya know?
I consider this an expensive recreational kayak.
If it works for you though man awesome, we all have our preferences and that's what great about products. If you don't like something then don't buy it ya know?
I like the ability to pack it in.

Although a marvel of engineering, something that's made out of political yard signs that costs $1200? I don't think so.
That said, if you are a recreational Kayaker who likes to go out sometimes in the summer, you don't need to worry about those things and these boats aren't terrible for those needs. And their sit-on-tops are actually not bad, if you like those.
Amazon can be good, but you can't see the boat before buying if you're buying used.
If you love Kayaking and are considering making it a part of your outdoor life, make sure to go to rentals and lesson clubs in your area to try all kinds of brands before deciding what you want and what would work best for you.
This also gives you the option to go see the boat and check it out before you buy, (unlike buying from Amazon or Ebay used), so you can make sure it's in good condition. Usually such places will even let you test it first if you're serious about buying.
Another resource is Craig's List, you get all the benefits listed above and often the boat costs even less and you usually see gear included in the price.
Packable Kayaks are great if you have no space or need portability, but you definitely pay for the newer tech materials and design. It's worth it if you need it, definitely not if you don't. You can find used Orus on Ebay, sometimes for a fraction of the cost. I saw a Bay+ go for $580 last week.
Myself, I need a portable and am torn between Oru and Pakayak.
Great Video, @LIving Survival! Thanks for this. =)
If you don't want or can't afford a $1300 foldable kayak, don't buy a $1300 foldable kayak. What the OP neglected to mention when he said "I can buy 4" is that he absolutely cannot buy 4 foldable, lightweight, compact kayaks that don't need any other equipment, like a $300 roof rack (Well, I guess you don't need it if you are ok with your vehicle being damaged). Also, can you keep all 4 of those kayaks in your apartment?
If you want convenience, you pay for convenience. If you don't want convenience, you don't pay for convenience, end of story. He didn't do this video because he wanted to cover kayaks, he did the video because he wanted to cover a kayak that fit his needs and was useful in his situation, which happens to be a compact, lightweight kayak that he can keep in his place.
I love your videos Ben. Keep it up, and thanks for the reviews.
Those kayaks are likely faster, so if you aren't going to be backpacking them they're a good choice, I imagine. But I portage my packraft so the 6 lb weight is an advantage.
You won't have the hassle of portage!
Nice!
pricey stuff. especially considering the building materials and what the competition sells for.
It looks like a great kayak, and I can't wait to get one.
