Achilles Inflatable Boats: Every Achilles Inflatable Boat is made with proven four-layered fabric reinforced with DuPont Hypalon®.

And nothing is better for air retention than the interior Neoprene® coating Achilles Inflatable Boats use. So Achilles takes the extra time Hypalon® hand-gluing requires to insure that unsurpassed quality, safety and durability are built into every Inflatable Boat, from their smallest dinghy to the largest utility boat.
