Back in the 1980s, Old Town built these canoes from a robust material called \u003cstrong\u003eRoyalex\u003c\/strong\u003e — and this is one of those original boats. Royalex quickly earned a legendary reputation among paddlers for its incredible toughness, and compared to today's three-layer polyethylene canoes, it is both \u003cstrong\u003elighter and nearly bombproof.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"font-ligatures-none whitespace-pre-wrap text-sm-e sm:text-base\"\u003eThe Penobscot design itself became a favorite almost immediately — prized for its \u003cstrong\u003espeed, durability, and excellent tracking\u003c\/strong\u003e on everything from river trips to multi-day expeditions.
