The Dagger GT is a classic river kayak. It is both stable and forgiving but at the same time can be pushed a little and will happily surf (and spin) all day long. The GT has great forward speed which allows the paddler to punch through waves/stoppers and across chewy eddy lines.
The outfitting is up to Daggers usual high standard with an adjustable seat, thigh braces and backrest. The footrest is a full plate system and even those paddlers with large feet will find that the GT is a pretty comfy place to be. If not the GT is available in a total of five different sizes to accommodate a wide range of paddlers. The GTX and GT-Max are larger than the standard GT model but share all of the same features/design.
Performance is pretty good and most paddlers will probably really enjoy the way in which the GT handles. For those wanting to make the move from an entry level kayak to something with a bit of additional performance the GT is worth a look.
