Old Town

Loon 126 Recreational Kayak

What a vessel.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this kayak as a Christmas gift for my partner. It was delivered in perfect condition. The seat is the most comfortable I've seen in kayaks so far. We're excited to make a lifetime of memories on the water. Thank you Old Town and Johnson Outdoors.

Loon126

A life long canoeist, I bought a Loon 126 and have been paddling it all summer. I love its maneuverability, storage capacity, and stability.

This is my Cadillac. Out of all of my different boats this boat is the most comfortable and in most cases most versatile. From class II whitewater to paddling overnight trips through the Boundary Waters, she can do it all.

Terrific kayak!

I recently bought the 126 in Black Cherry and I absolutely love it. I have several other kayaks that my family uses (12' and 10' Pungos, 12' Perception, 126 Sorrento and a 12' Dirigo). This one is mine and I am not sharing, lol. Paddles great and is easily the most comfortable of my kayaks. The work deck is awesome, as it will hold iPhone, a GoPro mount and my 35mm camera fits inside the compartment, so now I don't need to carry it around in a drybag. Easy to remove if you want to bring the dog too.

Worth the investment.

Very comfortable. Adjustable seating and lots of room. I am short. 5'3" and it helps to be able to adjust so that I can reach the hatch and items. Long trips are very comfortable.

Best Money Ever Spent!

I bought my Old Town Loon years ago and cannot say enough about the great quality, comfort and endurance. She’s like a reliable best friend. In the years to come, I will add another kayak perhaps better suited for the ocean, but I will never sell her or keep her dry for too long. I highly recommend the Old Town Loon model to all fellow paddlers!

Quick and agile

I have 5 different kayaks. The Loon126 ihas been my favorite since I got it three years ago. Oly "problem" is that when I provide the yaks, I take whatever is left. Never is the Loon126. The look for first time user. After that it just because it is comfortable boat and good hull design.

Great allround kayak

I've bought my Loon 126 in April of 2020 and have put many miles one it in all kinds of conditions. I'm very happy with the quality of the kayak, I broke the paddle clip last year and called Old Town and they shipped me a replacement no questions asked. So costumer service is excellent as well. You will not regret this kayak!

Exceeds Expectations

I have owned this Kayak for 6 months, and have 100 river\lake miles on the yak. I did my research, and kept coming back to the Loon 126. Comfortable, stable, and so good looking! I'm 6'1", 225lbs and the kayak cockpit still seems big. The seat is crazy comfortable. The work station is great. I do a good deal of video - it is so convenient to have quick access to cameras, and accy's - the charging cable is handy. On longer floats\paddles, if battery life is an issue, is plug my portable battery in, and then plug in phone or camera and have easy access to power. Kayak handles waves white caps with ease. As you can tell- I love this Kayak.

Outstanding!!

I bought my first kayak this summer. This past May, I purchased the Old Town Loon 126. I’m a heavy guy and I needed a long kayak with a high weight rating to carry me across water while giving me peace of mind. This Loon 126 did just that! The Loon 126 is a sturdy kayak with a comfortable seat, and never once did the Loon 126 make me doubt the quality of the kayak! The Loon 126 sits high off of the water and it is wide enough to make me feel very confident while cruising through lakes. I’ve visited numerous lakes across Pennsylvania and paddled across each lake successfully! Just last week I visited Erie, Pennsylvania. I paddled the Loon 126 across Presque Isle Bay from the Perry Monument to the Bicentennial Tower on mainland Erie. A strong wind from the East was blowing and the water was the most choppy water that I’ve ever experienced, but I made it across the Bay in the Loon 126 with no problems!! I then paddled around on Lake Erie... and again, no problems! I’d like to continue my quest to visit the remaining 4 Great Lakes, and of course, I’m going to paddle the small lakes in between. Thank you, Old Town, for creating such a quality vessel that gives me the confidence to get out on the water for a little bit of exercise, fun and adventure!
