Coleman has long been known as the producer and seller of the worst
canoe money can buy.[1]

This may not be true of the kayaks marketed under their name.

But you need to understand that, as a corporate philospphy, Coleman has
no objection to selling rank and utter trash to newbie customers who
are not equipped to make informed decisions. I try to avoid
patronizing anyone with that marketing philosophy.

[1] It is provably the worst by many criteria, although someone who
requires minimal performance and wants something REALLY inexpensive,
yet durable enough to live outside and be battered by clueless users,
it can be a good buy. Say, if you want something to keep chained to a
tree at yer lakeside cabin for the kids to splash around in. 'Course,
if you can afford a lakeside cabin you should be able to afford a real
canoe; one that doesn't include the entrapment hazards (aren't the kids
lives worth SOMEthing?) that the Coleman has.
