The Exo tester team have a solid slalom background.
I think that this reflects in many peculiarities of the XT300 like precision and speed.
First time I tried it was on some Corsica classic runs (Travo, Orbo) and the boat behaved surprisingly well.
I had the same good feelings on my home runs (Sermenza, Alpin Sprint).
Definitively a good boat that suits well from the beginner to the advanced paddler.

About Me
I'm a frequent paddler of the Sesia area and more in general north western Italy,
this is the area where XT300 was born and designed for.
I am 177cm and 85Kg (sigh).
Pros / The Good
-The boat is very fast and precise
-Rigid pillars give extra safety
-keeps the line very well
-semi planning hull (can be a pro or a con depending on your taste)
-Easy to roll
Cons / The Bad
- Outfitting is very basic and poor, particularly the seat is almost flat and your bottom will tend to move a lot.
You have to modify the outfitting by adding some foam, in particular on the back of the seat.
- Tail is somehow catchy, you have to keep balanced on the boat, particularly when resurfacing from drops or trying to exit a hole.
