I am by no means an expert on paddles, but this one seems to be much better than the standard paddles that come included with the cheaper kayak kits, but not crazy expensive like the pro fiberglass paddles. Comparing this paddle to the standard ones that are included, this is a world apart and a much better performer. It's firm but lightweight and feels good in the hands. The fact that it breaks into four pieces is obviously also convenient as it allows me to travel easily along with the inflatable kayak.

I bought this paddle along with the 13' Advanced Elements Expedition kayak. It's a paddle so it does what it's supposed to - paddle. It features spring loaded locking cleats that allow you to twist and angle the blades up to 60 degrees. Personally I like mine parallel. The shaft is made of heavy gauge aluminum and seem like it would hold up well. The blades are molded plastic but appear to be reinforced so breakage would be hard to do. This particular paddle is a bit long at 230 cm. Most veteran paddlers will tell you 210-220 is all you need. The Expedition if a pretty wide boat however so the extra length works for a novice, but overall its length promotes poor paddling technique forcing you to use sweeping strokes to avoid the sides of the boat rather than vertical strokes. It is also a bit on the heavy side when compared to expensive composite paddles, but that's to be expected for the price. Its real strength is its portability. I love being to break it down into 2 or 4 smaller sections for easy storage. All in all it's a fine paddle for the Advanced Elements inflatable kayaks, but I would go elsewhere if you are using a hard sided boat.

I put these paddles through a four day adventure race (Untamed New England). They are lightweight and performed great. Fit in my pack with a pack raft and required gear with no problems. We put them through a lot of still and white water. I know I stressed them beyond what they were probably designed for and had no issues. I don't think you can buy a better paddle for the money.

I like this paddle, but one section is just over 31â€, not the 25.5†that was in the product description. As a result, it won’t fit in my roller bag for travel as expected. It’s still a nice paddle for the money and I’ll keep it but it definitely won’t pack down to 25.5â€.

I bought this paddle to use with my NRS packraft. I pack into high lakes and fish. It works very well for that purpose. The pieces fit together snugly, so I am always careful to disassemble the paddle at night. I have seen other paddles (not this brand) become fused together when left assembled for too long. Rather than mess with lubricants or anti-seize compounds, I just disassemble them. In general, I feel it is worth the price.

...the wondering is all about poor reviews on these paddles. They have all anyone would expect, particularly for the price. They have a superb angle of attack into the water. The shaft modular parts fit tightly and allow for easy portage. The length of the unit AND the angle of the blades can be adjusted to one's preference.The light weight is a plus and the drip guards are a very nice and useful addition.Final bonus, they are very eye appealing and deserve their name "Advanced Elements".I have had many paddles in the past, these deserve the five stars which l gave them.

I love this paddle for the fact that it breaks down so small. it fits into my apartment closet very easily, I’ve been able to put it in a duffel bag and fly it to other states to go kayaking. it makes it so easy for transporting. I was a little disappointed it feels heavier than I was expecting it to. It’s not the best paddle I’ve ever used out on the water but it does it’s job.

I got this paddle because the three piece paddle that came with my Sevylor inflatable kayak is garbage. I bought the kayak even though the reviews said the paddle was awful. I ordered this paddle at the same time I bought the kayak. I'm glad that I did. The original paddle that came with the kayak only broke down into three pieces, so it didn't fit with the kayak. The original kayak paddle used weak plastic which was made to break when you needed it most (when paddling hard to go upwind). This paddle is much better. It breaks down into four pieces, so it does pack with the deflated kayak. Its very sturdy, so its not going to break. I look forward to many years of use from this paddle.

La pagaia è ben costruita, infatti pur essendo in 4 pezzi non denota alcun movimento o traballamento dopo averla assemblata. I materiali sono buoni. E' abbastanza leggera dato che pesandola con bilancia di precisione si arriva a circa 1035 gr. Il colpo in acqua è preciso, la spinta adeguata. Offre poca resistenza al vento e affatica poco. Ottima per un uso turistico, anche per distanze impegnative.

The product pictures are wrong and the pack down length is ~31" not 25.5".Arrived with a defect where there are "whisker" from one of the section, had it returned and fully refunded.
