A friend and I recently imported MRS packrafts directly from the manufacturer in China, at a significant saving. The manufacturer is prepared to give a 25% discount if we can organise an order of 10 rafts. MRS are already cheaper than Alpacka and of comparable quality. For comparison, the MRS equivalent of an Alpacka Yak with deck is USD800 instead of USD1150 (both plus shipping). If that were discounted a further 25% and with bulk shipping that makes a very affordable purchase.
Lots of detail and reviews on MRS’s distributor’s site (prices are a lot higher there, naturally):
