While we wish that it came with a skeg for improved tracking in windy conditions, overall, the Loon 126 impresses in terms of performance for a recreational boat.Phone Order Hotline (10am-6pm EST). That said, any boat with a rounded hull will struggle a bit in choppy, windy conditions due to its lack of secondary stability.įinally, this kayak’s rounded hull, when combined with its Support Track Foot Brace System, allows you to comfortably maneuver through tricky waters and shallow coastal areas. This allows for excellent primary stability. In the middle, the Loon 126 has a rounded hull. Old Town gave this kayak a sharp keel line, which allows it to slice through the water.
PerformanceĪlthough the Loon 126 was certainly designed with comfort and functionality in mind, it is also one of the highest performing recreational boats of its size. You can also strap down gear under the bow and stern deck bungees. In the cockpit, this kayak has a removable workdeck that even has a USB charging port. It features a large stern bulkhead with a click seal hatch for storing larger pieces of equipment. Plus, the Loon 126 has plenty of gear storage space. In particular, this seating system is fully adjustable and is well padded so it can support your back and legs throughout a day of paddling. This boat boasts Old Town’s Active Comfort System 2.0 Seat, which mixes functionality, style, and comfort into one package. The Old Town Loon 126 provides everything you need in a recreational kayak, thanks to its well-thought-out features. For example, the similarly comfort-inspired Old Town Vapor 12XT has a weight limit of 375 lbs (170.1 kg). In fact, this kayak blows many similar options out of the water in terms of overall capacity. Able to carry up to 450 lbs (204 kg), the kayak is more than strong enough to support the majority of paddlers and a day’s worth of gear. One area where the Loon 126 really shines is its weight capacity. However, this kayak’s weight isn’t excessive and it is still totally manageable to carry, especially if you have a friend to help. For reference, the Jackson Tupelo 12.5 is just 49 lbs (22.2 kg) despite being precisely the same length. With a weight of 59 lbs (26.8 kg), the Loon 126 is quite heavy for its size. It has a 17.25” (43.8 cm) deck height, so it’s spacious enough to comfortably accommodate taller paddlers. This added length allows for better tracking than what you’d find on a shorter boat, but doesn’t detract from the Loon 126’s portability. Not great in windy or choppy conditionsĪt 12’6” (3.8 m) long, the Old Town Loon 126 is quite long for a recreational kayak.
