Emotion’s Comet
Length 8’ 3” Width: 28.5” beam Weight: 38 lbs  Capacity: 260 lbs
MSRP $279

Whether streaking across a lake or blazing down the river, the Comet is sure to brighten any paddler’s horizons. The Comet features an easy-entry cockpit and fully adjustable seat and footbraces. The flared bow offers plenty of leg room and dryness in waves. The stable hull is equipped with tracking channels and a well defined stern that will keep even the newest paddler on track.

More adventurous paddlers will love the predictable lean turns and quick acceleration that the Comet invites. Deck bungees for gear storage and the molded “paddle ledge” will free your hands to photo, fish or frolic. Water drains easily from the stern placed drain plug. At the end of the day, the Comet can easily be tucked away vertically resting on the stern, awaiting its next flight…

The Proof is in the Pudding (or plastic)
The Comet and Spitfire kayaks are made so affordable through the process of blow-molding. The mold set up costs are 5 times higher compared to rotoationally-molded kayaks but the process significantly decreases production time and reduces the blemish rate. If you want to get really techy about it:

The blow molded kayaks are made from High Molecular Weight Polyethylene ( HLMI PE ) vs Low density Polyethylene typically used in the rotomolded kayaks. HMW HLMIPE is about 2 1/2 times stronger than Low density Polyethylene.

Here are the comparative Strengths

                                    High-Density            Low density

Tensile Strength(psi)        4,500                        1,700

Flexural Strength(psi)       5,800                        1,400

Flexural Modulus(psi)    120,000                      22,000

Tensile Strength is the pulling strength required to break a given specimen
Flexural Strength is the tensile stress of the outermost fibers of a bent test sample at the instant of failure
Flexural Modulus is a measure of the strain imposed in the outermost fibers of a bent specimen
