Bris

BRIS 1.2mm 13ft Inflatable White Water River Raft

This is a 13 ft PVC whitewater raft from Bris, rated for 8 people. It uses 2000D, 1.2 mm fabric, 18.8 in tubes and a drop-stitch floor. At 128 lb, it sits between Bris's 12 ft and 15 ft rafts in this group. It suits a group that wants a bigger boat without moving up to the 15 ft size.

Best for: A group of up to 8 paddlers who want a mid-size Bris raft with a drop-stitch floor.

Pros

  • Rated for 8 people, two more than the Bris 12 ft and the 12 ft Inflatable Sport Boats raft.
  • Drop-stitch floor, the same type as the other Bris rafts here.
  • 2000D fabric at 1.2 mm thick, matching the other Bris rafts that list it.
  • At 156 in long, it is longer than the 12 ft rafts in this group.
  • At 128 lb, it is lighter than the Bris 15 ft at 158 lb.

Cons

  • No self-bailing floor listed; the 12 ft Inflatable Sport Boats raft has one.
  • Air chamber count isn't listed, though the Bris 12 ft and 15 ft show 7 and 8.
  • No max load or warranty listed, which makes it harder to judge against the Inflatable Sport Boats raft.
  • 18.8 in tubes are slimmer than the 20 in tubes on the Bris 15 ft.
  • No owner feedback is available to show how it holds up.

Who should skip it

Skip it if you want a self-bailing floor, which is what the 12 ft Inflatable Sport Boats raft lists. Also skip it if you need details like air chamber count, max load or warranty, since none are listed here.

Verdict

On paper this is a sensible middle size in the Bris line, with an 8-person rating and the same fabric as its siblings. The missing details on chambers, load and warranty are worth checking with the seller before you buy.
