About Sevylor
In 1948 in Vitry, a small suburb of Paris, France, Berco Grimbert created an electronics company called Societe Electronique de Vitry, or SEVY for short. Soon, a friend of Grimbert's from New York commissioned SEVY to produce high frequency welding machines capable of fusing a new material called PVC (poly vinyl chloride). SEVY's machines worked very well and the American friend developed a very successful business manufacturing swimming pool related products. He then taught SEVY how to work with PVC.
One of the first PVC products SEVY produced was inflatable bathtub called Dou Dou. It was an instant hit in postwar France--mothers could bathe their children even where no facilities were available. The media hailed Dou Dou as a significant invention. Soon, SEVY added small pools and flotation devices such as rings, beach balls, and inflatable swim jackets to its product line. Safe, hygienic products, made of PVC and designed for portability, durability and convenience, became the SEVY trademark.
The company quickly outgrew its small facilities in Vitry. Mr. Grimbert accepted an attractive offer from the French government to take over a defunct textile factor in the tiny Alsatian village of Buhl. After establishing its new headquarters, the company added the letters 'lor' to its name, and became Sevylor. In French, l'or means gold. By coincidence, or possibly fate, Sevylor has proven to be 'as good as gold' to its owners, retailers, consumers, and employees.

Rating:  - Fun beginner kayak
I bought this IK instead of a hardshell because it is easier to transport, I don't have to buy an extra roof rack, and I can take it on a plane if I want. I wanted an Advanced Frame, but I couldn't pass this one up because of the price (almost 50% less)! It's not perfect, but I think I got a very good deal for the money. I've taken this out on the lake already, but no rivers.
Pros:
- Looks good;
- Very stable and sturdy;
- Affordable;
- Comfortable seat;

Rating:  - Only good for a swimming pool!
Based on the reviews I read, I had high expectations. But I was thoroughly disappointed by the quality of the kayak. 3 leaks in three outings!! All without any punctures from the outside. The quality of the inner tubes is very poor. All leaks were right at the seams, and very close together. I attributed the first one to overinflation. But that was definetely not the case for the next 2. And since they're all within a few inches of each other, I have to attribute the leaks to poor quality. The kayak ... Read More

Good beginner kayak..
Works well in lakes and ponds... Not meant for anyone over 5'10 or 200 lbs...
A friend and I rode down the upper Allegheny river and kept bottoming out in shallow water. This kayak is essentially a raft. The part of the raft under your butt constantly hits the bottom in shallow water and bows in the middle.
The spray skirt it useless since the nylon top is NOT WATERPROOF... This is a summer kayak only and you will get wet. I would never take ... Read More
Rating: - Great Kayak for the money!
This kayak, while not perfect, is an excellent value. It's much better constructed than the cheap inflatables you often see, and tracks well while being very maneuverable and stable. I've been out on Lake Michigan with it and it was manageable in 3' waves, though I did take on some water when they came over the bow, despite the spray skirt. As for speed, I was able to maintain 3.5 mph with little-moderate effort in a fair amount of chop and was able to get up between 4-5 mph on calm water with moderate ... Read More
Rating: - my friend loves it
I bought this as a gift for my friend, who was thrilled. She absolutely loves it. She was using it smoothly right away without any practice, and she covers plenty of flat distance with little effort and no control trouble.
On the other hand, when she suggested I give it a try myself, I couldn't really get in and out -- she's small, I'm big (and not limber), and this is more a smaller person's boat.
She does get kinda wet riding this. She doesn't care -- never uses the spray skirt.
