2 Pairs Heavy Duty Kayak Rack-Includes 4 Pcs Ratchet Tie-Mount on Car Roof Top Crossbar-Easy to Carry Kayak Canoe Boat Surf Ski (J-Bar Rack)

The good: So far these things have held up pretty well! They were able to keep my two kayaks completely stable at highway speeds with 25-30mph winds from a storm. The foam pads that come with the racks are quite frankly useless and peeled up on the first use do to heat and humidity, but the foam that surrounds the bars seems to be more than efficient to protect the kayaks. The tie downs that come with this pack do seem a bit thin and will probably wear out over a good amount of trips out but for the time being they work and they’re easy to use (just the light blue gator straps, the rope like tie downs are fantastic) If you’re going to be using this with a sedan make sure you get the “under the hood” Kevlar hooks that bolt down to the frame and you’re definitely going to want a front and back tie down for each kayak. Also after being tightened down they seemed EXTREMELY secure to my Yakima Baseline rack. You could easily carry multiple surfboards or paddle boards on these for people who want to go that route.The not so good: The assembly wasn’t too bad, but that’s only because I had a 13mm deep socket wrench. If you try to put this thing together with the wrench they supply you’re a madman. I suggest removing your roof rack if possible to put these on as it makes things much easier, or if you have a standard 13mm wrench it would make it possible with the rack still on the car. I’m not sure if anybody has tried it but I definitely wouldn’t try to put heavier kayaks on these. Both of mine (Sundolphin journey 10ss and a 12ft necky gannet) weigh 45lbs so I wasn’t worried about the metal bending but heavier ones would worry me as the metal used isn’t extensively thick.Overall, for the price you really can’t beat this set as long as you have your own tools. Again I wouldn’t put something like a 12 foot fully loaded fishing kayak on here, but for the average user these things are nice. Assembly would take roughly an hour if you plan it out right.
