The award-winning Helios 380EX has been improved this year with the following added features in the Helios II. The decks and the interior are now made with Lite-Pack fabric, which cuts 10% off the weight of the kayak and allows for a smaller folded package. Lite-Pack is also much nicer on bare skin and more comfortable to sit against. The Helios II adds a full back support in the front cockpit, and the deck have been redesigned with a more refined, flatter profile. Each deck either has netting or bungees for easy gear storage, and handy carrying handles have been added to the bow and stern.
