This company is no longer in business, but here is a description from REI and a comment from a reviewer. Reviewer...“The Folbot Touring Kiawah is a lightweight foldable kayak designed for day trips, lazy afternoons, or weekend getaways. Weighing just 32lb, the Folbot is capable of holding around 200lbs. It is also portable enough to transport and anyone can easily carry it around.Besides, its skin-on-frame design also makes it foldable and secure. Once disassembled, the kayak can fit perfectly in your car’s trunk.

Similarly, the frame is made of extremely lightweight yet strong aluminum. The aluminum frame assembles easily without the need of tools and gives the kayak a good look. Additionally, the hull design protects the kayak from extremes like the sun, salt, and minor damages.” REI...
