: Just saw a reference to Golden Eye Hi for size 13's. I am agonizing over
: selecting my first kit (and first kayak other than plastic rentals). I am
: leaning toward the Osprey std, have assumed multipanel deck addressed the
: footsize issue of the Golden Eye std- is this true?

: Based on looks and v. brief demo of single vs. multi chine, I like the
: multi,and the Osprey std length seems more manageable than Coho for car,
: garage, etc. Here's where indecision comes in: Any problems with Osprey
: std's foot room or general room at 6'1", 180, size 13?
: Any advantage in room over Coho with the Osprey's extra width even though
: same height?
: Is the "responsiveness" advantage talked about for Coho (or Arctic
: Tern for that matter) something I should even worry about as a novice
: (intermediate to be)- I'm looking mostly at day trips, lakes, possibly
: some coastal, or 1-2 night trips at some point

: By way of calibration in size, I found the Ches17 LT v. tight, also tight for
: me (if there is any comparison in plastic) the Wilderness Systems Alto and
: Perception Corona, both about 22" in width.

: I'd like to get going for a winter project, don't expect to be able to test
: paddle anything more this season.

: Thanks for any feedback

I have 2 ospry standards. My shoe size is a 10 and the ospry is a good fit, but it might be a bit tight for size 13. where do you live if it's near me maybe you can test paddle one of ours DEAN
