What conditions is the Lattitude Jumu Suitable for?

Built for paddlers who demand rock-solid stability without sacrificing a playful edge, the Lattitude Jumu Packraft is your ultimate companion for technical whitewater and multi-day wilderness expeditions. Borrowing the best design cues from the high-performance Nangana style, the Jumu features an oversized backend and larger tubes that give you massive secondary stability in vertical creeks, big waves, and heavy rapids. Conquer Big Drops with the Lattitude Jumu. Complete with an integrated TiZip for easy internal gear storage, a self-bailing floor, and premium outfitting, it packs down small but performs incredibly big.

What are the design and performance features?

The Lattitude Jumu is specifically engineered to handle larger drops, punchy rapids, and the extra weight of multi-day gear with absolute confidence. What makes it stand out is its innovative high-volume stern and slightly wider tubes. This design provides incredible stability when boofing over ledges, navigating vertical drops, or charging through heavy boils. On flat water, it tracks remarkably straight; but once you hit the whitewater, the Jumu truly comes alive—effortlessly gliding over holes, crossing eddy lines, and surfing waves with precision.

Equipped with a standard airtight TiZip for secure, internal hull storage, it lets you pack all your camping gear low in the boat, keeping your center of gravity perfectly balanced. Whether you are a larger paddler looking for a more accommodating fit or an adventurer tackling higher-grade water, the Jumu delivers a secure, upright, and highly responsive ride.

• Enhanced Backend Stability: Designed with an expanded stern and larger-diameter tubes to keep you stable and upright through massive drops, steep creeks, and heavy rapids.
• Premium Wilderness Outfitting: Comes standard as a self-bailing configuration complete with adjustable knee/thigh braces, a rigid inflatable floor insert, a supportive EVA backband, and a footrest for maximum body contact and control.
• Expedition Ready: Features a standard airtight TiZip, allowing you to safely store heavy camping gear inside the tubes to keep your deck clean and your center of gravity low.
• Bombproof Durability: Built tough for unforgiving river beds with a rugged 420D double-coated TPU nylon hull and an ultra-tough 840D TPU nylon floor.
• Versatile Sizing: Available in multiple standard lengths (including the popular Jumu 240, Jumu 250, and Jumu 260 models) to perfectly match your height and packing needs.

What is T-Zip?

The T-Zip or Cargo Fly is an advanced, airtight internal storage solution engineered for modern packrafts. By integrating a heavy-duty, waterproof zipper directly into the stern of the boat, this system allows paddlers to utilize the space inside the raft's tubes to store equipment. Stowing your gear inside the tubes lowers your center of gravity, resulting in a more stable watercraft, enhanced paddling performance, and streamlined handling.

Key Benefits & Use Cases

• Superior Weight Distribution: Shifting heavy gear off the bow and into the side chambers drops your center of gravity, making it an ideal choice for technical whitewater runs and multi-day expeditions.
• Maximum Element Protection: Keeps high-value camping equipment, apparel, and supplies dry, safe, and securely locked inside the boat hull.
• Optimized Cockpit Space: Frees up valuable deck real estate for an unobstructed line of sight and improved range of motion while paddling.

Internal Dry Bags (Available Separately)

Designed specifically to complement the T-Zip system, these dedicated internal dry bags maximize organization and weight management:

• Secure Anchor System: Side-release buckles clip tightly into internal anchor points, eliminating loose gear shifting while navigating rapids.
• Enhanced Safety Chambers: When inflated inside the tubes, the dry bags function as secondary, independent air chambers. This provides critical supplementary buoyancy and extra peace of mind if your main hull sustains a puncture.

What is a Self Bailing Packraft?

A self-bailing packraft has drainage in the floor, so when water gets in, it drains back out. You will get wet in a self-bailing raft, so they are best for white water in warm weather or use with a dry suit. Lattitude's Basic configuration features a thick inflatable seat paired with a foot brace in the front to keep you dry. Upgraded versions may include a high/low full floor which increases the rigidity of the packraft, as well as keeping you dry.
