I liked the Gradient but it was a Meh kayak to me. I would be excited to be in the water but not excited about the Gradient as my chosen craft. I spent a winter in the Gradient but let it go when spring came. Don't get me wrong it preformed great for what I needed at the time but in the end it just did't tickle my fancy.

About Me
I'm 5'5" with a 28" inseam, US size 8 men shoes, and at the time 175 lbs. I had a number of years and a number kayaks under my belt but the time I owned a Gradient. I am mainly a river runner with just a pinch of creek action and am not a play boater in any from.
Pros / The Good
2nd hand you could get them cheep. They roll like pressing the easy button. Fast and fun in the winter when staying dry is a goal.
Cons / The Bad
The ones I was around had a tendency to oilcan at the seat area.
