With extra legroom and a super spacious cockpit, the Old Town Vapor 12XT is a boat for paddlers that prioritize comfort above all else. Enough room for gear and lots of space to stretch out and relax make it a solid choice for casual cruising on flat water.
At 56 lbs (25.4 kg), the Vapor 12XT is a hefty boat. It’s heavier than both the Perception Carolina 12.0, which weighs in at 49 lbs (22 kg) and the Pelican Sprint 120XR, which tips the scales at 51 lbs (23.1 kg). While it’s not an outrageous weight for its size, there are certainly alternatives out there for paddlers that prefer a lightweight boat.
Additionally, this boat is outfitted with a fully adjustable Comfort Flex seat. This seat is chock full of padding for lumbar support and added comfort during a long day on the water. here
This is a wonderful rec boat, it handles well on flatwater, and does well in mild whitewater. I have taken it over 4 foot ledges, and 5 foot haystacks and never felt it would let me down.
Also just as a post note, not sure what another reviewer was talking about with it leaking. it is made from a single mold design of thick plastic; unless punctured it somehow it isn't going to leak like a cheap two piece you'd get from a hardware store as he described it. here

Got one last spring. Just love it . Haven't found anything that I can not use it for except more then class II rapids. Because of its size it may take me a bit longer to do a touring run. But because of what I can carry I don't care. Even on windy days on big lakes I've never felt out of control.
Great smashes what it is designed for, being in Michigan there are many calm rivers and lakes to take it on. It is a rec yak so with that in mind don't try to use it somewhere like lake Michigan or away from a bay. Otherwise it is extremely stable and tracks well. Easy to get in and out of. So great for what it is designed for.

Stable like a steamship, wide like a whale, and streamlined like a sailboat, the Old Town Vapor 12XT Kayak is built to make short work of a day on the lake, river, or ocean, regardless of whether you're a first-timer or salty old vet. If you're island hopping, the Vapor is exceptionally easy to get in and out of, and it has a stern storage hatch to keep a day's worth of gear safe and dry. On days when you have a serious destination and spend a lot of time digging deep, you'll appreciate the heavily-padded Comfort Flex seat and adjustable Support Track foot brace system. Of course, no matter what you're doing, the molded cup holder is a serious bonus, as are the molded paddle rest and cockpit tray that let you put down your paddle, sip a beverage, and eat some snacks as you watch the sun set over the bay.
