[Paddlewise] Inflatable Kayaks, kevlar vs fiberglass

Hi everyone,

This is a great list. I just joined recently and have been receiving a
wealth of very useful information.  Can someone recommend a good inflatable
kayak suitable for short whitewater/sea trips.  I'm planning a road trip
across the country and will need something compact, durable and handles
well for an inflatable.

Also, can anyone describe the merits of kevlar vs fiberglass kayaks?  Other
than the weight difference, is kevelar more durable-longer lasting?  I'm
trying to justify the price difference before making the investment.

Thanks,
Lee
