[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband bought a kayak reluctantly due to the fact that he didn't think he would use it enough however he is gone every weekend during the summer/fall fishing and when we go camping he takes it with us to fish on the lakes. Absolutely work it and very sturdy

I bought this kayak a year ago. I am an experienced kayaker who owns five kayaks which I use for fishing in freshwater and coastal ocean. This kayak runs smoothly and has reasonable maneuverability. For general kayaking, it is as good as can expected for the price. The cons: It isn't as stable as expected for fishing unless focusing on fish under 5 lbs. The handles are not designed for one person to carry. A suggestion is to have two handles on one side about 2' apart. The storage compartment is far too spacious, allowing things to slide around and become out of reach when needed. The opening is too small to fit a life preserver or fishing rods. It seems like a good place to put a water bottle, first aid kit, phone, or small tackle box. Unless the water is dead calm, good luck in trying to reach any of these when you need them after being on the water awhile. Wrapping them in clothing or a towel helps somewhat but they can still become virtually impossible to reach when on the water. WHAT IF THERE IS AN EMERGENCY AND ESSENTIAL ITEMS ARE OUT OF REACH? Finally, I think this is my first kayak with a paddle provided. That is a nice addition except that this paddle is too flimsy to be practical in some situations. I think I used it once and gave up on it when it was too inefficient. This paddle is plenty for some of the easiest kayaking situations, such as paddling on a pond on a calm day. It is not good when traveling miles in light waves or against a river current to reach an upstream destination. These are kayaking realities for many of us. While this kayak is decent overall, some of the accessories can be improved to provide a better experience for the user.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We now own 4 Lifetime kayaks (4th one is on its way) my wife and I both have the Tamarack 100 Angler and could not be happier. It is extremely stable, feature packed, comfortable, and paddles extremely well. It is perfect for a simple day on the water or a day of fishing. I have zero complaints about the kayak, the paddle it comes with however is a little short for beginners who are new to paddling but what would make it exceptional would be drip stoppers. Other than that I highly recommend there is a reason my wife and I plus our daughters all paddle lifetime kayaks.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I just got my Tamarack, looking forward to my first Kayak owner experience lol.

I have had this kayak for two weeks and it handles well in rough ocean water and in calm waters. It's a great deal.

Can't wait to take them down the river. This kayak appears well made, is light enough for one person to easily carry, and is designed to be comfortable. Lots of seating options and upgrades available.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great kayak for people with longer legs! Sitting on top, especially for people with mobility issues, is a huge benefit and makes kayaking much more enjoyable!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Tremendous customer service and communication skills. I am very pleased with the outcome of the conversation.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] great boat but both the seat strap clips broke on its maiden voyage making it impossible to paddle without hurting your back.

Got this for my grandson for Christmas.... We made the happiest boy in the world! He just loves it! It fits his 85lb body perfectly! Should grow with him and I'm sure he will get years of use!
