I've looked at the kayaks in their shops in Japan (MontBell in Japan is sort of like REI in the US). I haven't paddled one, but my impression was that they are a little like, perhaps, Folbot-- maybe a notch or two above. Fujita (their competitor) might be a notch below Feathercraft.
Arfeq is a proprietary brand of MontBell, if I remember correctly.
