 HURON 17 LITE

Help us to welcome this new 17-footer to the Huron family.

The longest model in the series based off the popular Prospecteur hull but cut shallower for those carrying less gear or wanting our lightest 17 for improved portaging and cartopping at the end of a long day on the water.

When the wind picks up later in the day it’s lower profile will offer improved tracking and control.

Made out of T-Formex Lite, the Huron 17 is perfect for wilderness explorers or families looking for an indestructible canoe that will hold its shape and give you confidence for many years on the water. Whether gliding across back country lakes or cruising wild rivers, the Huron 17 is perfect for your next adventure on water adventure.

Why T-Formex Lite

At Esquif, we continually strive to show the paddling community that we are committed to constant innovation and a commitment to making their overall paddling experience better. While our canoes are designed for many uses, we understand not everyone requires the extreme durability of traditional T-Formex. T-Formex Lite is a NOT a cheapening of the material, rather a reoptimization of where the material is placed for each model. We also looked at every component to see where we could achieve weight reduction…. And WE DID IT! Paddlers fully grasp the difference between a 65 and a 55 lb canoe and all indications, they are excited about this development

Which Material is Right for Me?

When deciding which canoe to buy, it simply comes down to what type of trip you are planning, and what you value most. If you are looking for ultra durability and reliability for an extreme trip… you may want to choose T-Formex. If you want your boat to be a bit lighter on your portages, and loading and unloading, but still want a super tough canoe, then T-Formex Lite might be a better choice. As you can see by the chart…. Ultimately they are both high performance materials, each excelling in specific areas.
