"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""This is one of my top picks for big, stable recreational kayaks. The cockpit is huge, the seat is super comfy, and there’s room for gear without compromising balance. It’s great for paddling with a camera, fishing setup, or even just a big daypack."" Built to carry the load while keeping paddling easy and fun, the Old Town Vapor 12XT Kayak blends comfort, stability, and roomy design for all kinds of flatwater adventures. With a generous cockpit and extra hull volume, it’s the kind of kayak that lets us bring the gear we need—whether we’re birding, fishing, or just out for a relaxed day on the lake. A supportive Comfort Flex seat keeps us paddling longer, while the stern Quick Seal hatch offers protected storage for extra layers, snacks, or camera gear. Molded-in cockpit trays and paddle rests add convenience, and built-in carry handles make transport simple. Whether we're loading it down or keeping it light, the Vapor 12XT is ready for the ride."
