Configuring your packraft in the shop: seats, backrests and accessories explained

At the Packrafting Store you buy an Anfibio packraft through a configurator: boat, version, seats, backrests, floor mat, paddle and more. That's handy, but with so many options you soon wonder: which seat is the right one? Here we explain step by step what matters, with weight tables and our tips.

How the shop configurator works

Product page in the Packrafting Store with the yellow Konfigurieren (configure) button — 1. On the product page you start with “Konfigurieren” (configure).

Configurator window with the Anfibio Delta MX / DeckReady group and boat version selection — 2. Groups on the left, boat version on the right. For the Delta MX it says here: no seat included.

Seat group for the Anfibio Delta MX with WideSeat, UniMat 150 and BlockSeat — 3. In the seat group the shop explains which seat is for what. Nothing is ticked for the Delta MX.

Seat group for the Anfibio Sigma TX with the XL-Seat and Comfort BackBand preselected — 4. On the Sigma TX, the XL-Seat and Comfort BackBand are preselected (blue). Change the selection with + and −.

“Ihre Konfiguration” tab with an overview of all groups and the add-to-cart button — 5. Under “Ihre Konfiguration” (your configuration) you check everything before it goes into the cart.

Screenshots: packrafting-store.de, 13 Nov 2026, prices hidden.

Boat and version: colour, size (e.g. Nano RTC or RTC XL), DeckReady (for the UniDeck), Plus material (420 denier instead of 210 denier on the tubes) and the version with TubeBags. Here you choose exactly one option.
Seats and backrests: on some boats something is already preselected (Sigma TX, TXL, TXLB+), on others no seat is included and nothing is ticked (Nano, Alpha XC, Delta MX). There you could even order without a seat. Always check!
Floor mat, footrest, thigh straps: optional. The mat changes which seats fit (see below).
Fin, pump, patches: according to the shop, the fin (skeg, 85 g) improves tracking. The HandPump allows higher pressure, making the boat stiffer.
Paddle and bags: matching paddle, DeckPack, UniDeck, transport bags.
Check the summary: only the “Ihre Konfiguration” (your configuration) tab shows everything at a glance. Also keep an eye on the delivery time shown for each option.

Which seats and backrests for my Anfibio?

Your boat

Your goalAs light as possibleComfort on tripsWhitewater and control

The key tips up front

Ultralight

PackSeat light (130 g). According to the shop, the choice if you want to travel especially light, e.g. in the Nano.

Long trips

Comfort BackBand 2.0 (285 g): tall, inflatable, very good back support. Depending on the boat, combine it with the BlockSeat, XL-Seat or PackSeat long.

Whitewater

Performance BackBand (180 g + straps) with FootRest: snug fit, foot pressure, more boat control. Thigh straps only above WW III.

More control and a better view

WideSeat (295 g): a much higher seating position for the rear position without a floor mat.

Seats: which one for what?

Seats compared (manufacturer data, sorted by weight)
Item	Weight	Dimensions	Type	What for	Shop
Anfibio PackSeat light	130 g	38 × 38 × 13 cm	seat, inflatable	Ultralight. According to the shop, the recommendation if you want to travel especially light (Nano, Alpha XC). In the Sigma TXLB+ for the middle or front position.	In the shop* (advertising, external link, opens in a new window)
Anfibio FoamSeat	175 g	25 × 40 × 5 cm	seat, foam	Only in combination with a floor mat (Sigma TX/TXL, Revo CL/XL). Fixed height of 5 cm that doesn't compress even under long use.	In the shop* (advertising, external link, opens in a new window)
Anfibio PackSeat long	185 g	45 × 47 × 13 cm	seat without backrest, extra long and wide	For the Sigma TX/TXL/TXLB with a floor mat, in the middle or front, especially with the Comfort BackBand, which rests on the seat.	In the shop* (advertising, external link, opens in a new window)
Anfibio PackSeat with backrest	250 g	38 × 38 × 13 cm	seat with integrated backrest	The standard seat: more comfort, an upright, relaxed seating position. In the Sigma TX/TXL/TXLB+ the seat for the rearmost position (also with a floor mat).	In the shop* (advertising, external link, opens in a new window)
Anfibio WideSeat with backrest	295 g	50 × 38 × 15 cm	seat with backrest, extra wide and tall	Much higher seating position: more upright posture, better view, more control (leverage, edging). For the rear position and use without a floor mat, e.g. Delta MX, Revo, Sigma as a tandem.	In the shop* (advertising, external link, opens in a new window)
Anfibio BlockSeat	300 g	45 × 45 × 15 cm	block seat without backrest	Freely positionable for the middle to front position in the Delta MX, Sigma TX and Sigma TXL. Add a Comfort or Performance BackBand.	In the shop* (advertising, external link, opens in a new window)
Anfibio XL-Seat	340 g	60 × 60 × 20 cm	large seat, wedged in	For the front or middle position in the Sigma TX, Sigma TXL(+) and Rebel 3KL+ (tube at least 27 cm). Wedges in like a floor mat, stiffens the boat, can be moved freely, good when several people use the boat.	In the shop* (advertising, external link, opens in a new window)

Different seats with a floor mat: a floor mat raises you up. That's why the shop recommends flatter seats with a mat: at the front the PackSeat long, PackSeat light or FoamSeat, at the back the PackSeat with backrest. The WideSeat and FrontSeat are too high with a mat.

Backrests: Comfort or Performance BackBand?

Backrests compared
Item	Weight	Dimensions	Type	What for	Shop
Anfibio Comfort BackBand 2.0	285 g	34 × 40 × 10 cm (inflated)	inflatable, tall backrest	Very good back support thanks to its height, a central baffle for stiffness, four straps for adjustment. Our tip for comfort on long trips.	In the shop* (advertising, external link, opens in a new window)
Anfibio Performance BackBand	180 g + 100 g straps	foldable	back band made of firm foam	Tensioned snugly against your back: an upright posture that's good for your back and optimal boat control. Works best with foot pressure (footrest). Preferred by performance-oriented paddlers; our tip for whitewater.	In the shop* (advertising, external link, opens in a new window)

In short: the Comfort BackBand is the comfy backrest to lean against, the Performance BackBand the snug back band for active paddlers. If you paddle with a lot of foot pressure, for example in whitewater, the Performance BackBand plus FootRest works best. If you paddle long, relaxed distances on calm water, you'll usually prefer the Comfort BackBand. According to the manufacturer, the Revo CL/XL, Delta MX and Sigma TX/TXL/TXLB+ have the attachment points for both.

Footrest and thigh straps

Footrest and thigh straps
Item	Weight	Dimensions	Type	What for	Shop
Anfibio FootRest size 1	100 g	27 × 33,5 × 11,5 cm	shortens the interior length by approx. 12–25 cm	Inflatable footrest for all packrafts: adapts the interior to your leg length and gives foot pressure for more boat control.	In the shop* (advertising, external link, opens in a new window)

Anfibio thigh straps	145 g	2 × 72,5 g	for whitewater above WW III	According to the shop, useful when playing in waves and holes, in whitewater above grade III or with lots of gear on the bow. The shop advises beginners to paddle without straps first. Prepared or included in the Revo CL/XL and Sigma TXLB+.	In the shop* (advertising, external link, opens in a new window)

Floor mats

According to the manufacturer, an inflatable floor mat stiffens the floor and the whole hull, insulates against cold and wet and raises the seating position. That improves comfort, handling and control, but costs weight and packed size.

Our practical tips

Check the preselection: what's already ticked in the configurator is the shop's suggestion, not a requirement. Adapt it to your trips.
Version first: TubeBags, DeckReady and Plus material are versions of the boat. Retrofitting isn't always possible; the UniDeck, for example, only fits DeckReady models.
Weight adds up: seat, backrest and mat together can weigh over a kilogram. For hikes go light, for trips from the car go comfortable.
Test your leg length: to choose the FootRest size, simulate it in the boat with a cushion first, as the shop also advises.
Delivery times: for every option the configurator shows whether it's available immediately or later.
Not sure? In Jülich (Germany) you can test boats and seats with us by appointment. On request there's a 5% discount code (advertising: we earn a commission on it as well).

Which accessories beyond seats make sense (paddle, life jacket, dry suit) is answered by our gear finder. You'll find our reviews of the boats on Packraft-Reviews.de.
