ESQUIF AVALON - T-FORMEX LITE

AVALON

Designed for canoe camping, the Avalon is extremely quick, light and easy to maneuver. Its design ensures straight tracking and allows for excellent glide between paddle strokes. A kneeling thwart is included for easy solo paddling.  Re-engineered in 2025, the Avalon is now offered in T-Formex Lite, making those portages a little bit easier for the trippers.

T-FORMEX

T-Formex is a high tech laminated material consisting of an ABS foam core, ABS sheets, and a protective outer plastic skin. Its resistance to abrasion and heavy impacts make it an excellent material for recreational, whitewater, and expedition canoes. Once heated and molded, T-Formex sheets form a hull that has an unmatched structural memory. So even after being folded around a rock, an Esquif T-Formex canoe will return to its original shape with minimal distortion. Stronger than fibreglass and lighter than polyethylene, T-Formex gives Esquif’s designers a material with superior characteristics.
