I used the online system to match my vehicle( Genesis GV80) to the appropriate components. Rail and clamp system arrived quickly from Thule, and was easy to install. Great product!

I have been wanting this kayak rack for a long time and finally bit the bullet and ordered it. I am so happy that I did! This is a great kayak rack! I am a 5 ’ 3 ” woman and I can load my kayak on top of my compact SUV by myself and be ready to roll in about 20 minutes. The dock grip holds my kayak so well that I don ’ t feel I need to over tighten the cam straps, which is something I felt I had to do with other racks.

This kayak carrier is excellent. The pads hold the kayak underneath and conform to the shape of the sides. The boat is held very securely.

They work perfectly for our 13 foot tandum kayak... they also will fit a 2020 Highlander with factory installed cross bars!!! They are sturdy, made well and definitely get the job down!!

Installed within like 10 minutes( that ’s with the Wingbar Evo, I guess with other racks it could take longer). Used it to transport a large kayak on the highway and felt very secure.

I like that it had the felt padding in the rear and rubber pad for the front feet. The felt makes it easy to slide my kayak and the rubber help keep it in place.

Until about 2 weeks ago, I had to do a clean- and- jerk type move to hoist my 70 lb. Hobie Revo 13 on and off the roof of my Corolla. Always 1 lift away from an injury to a 60 year old back, till now! I should have gotten this system a couple of years ago.

We already owned one set of Dock Glides and learned how helpful they are for loading and sliding the kayak into position

[ I got this so that I would have an easier time loading and unloading my kayak onto my car by myself. It's definitely much easier than the J hook style of rack. It feels very sturdy and I 've never had any trouble with anything shifting during long drives. The front pads tend to flip backwards during loading the kayak sometimes, which makes you have to do a little maneuvering with the boat to get them to flip back the right way. Otherwise, its great!

Had for 4 years now and still love them. They hold all 4 of my small kayaks at high speeds for over hour trip many times.

I 've had this carrier for many years, and it's still in use. I 've had up to five boats attached to this thing, and probably could have gotten away with six, but we did n't have another one to throw up top. My current vehicle is limited to only three kayaks due to the design of the vehicle's roof rack. As long as the roof rack is wide enough, it will handle four kayaks. As a side note, I only carried the five kayaks for a few miles under 35 mph! But with four up top, it 'll handle freeway speeds just fine so long as your roof system can handle it. Thule, keep making this thing!

I have had the stacker for a good 15 years now, I love it, I can get 1 to 4 kayaks on my car. Other kayak racks only allow you to put one kayak apparatus, and even if you bought multiple, you could never get more than two kayaks. Wouldn ’ t change a thing

Works Great for fitting multiple boats on a rack. If you are going to put one boat on each side I would recommend buying a set of the 15 ft. load straps. If you are putting this on an Xsporter remember to use the Xadapt 3 adapter kit. There is a link to it in the technical specifcations area on this page. Not sure why Jay from a previous review could n't stumble on that. Great Product, use mine all the time and recommend to all my friends.

Purchased 2 sets of the Hull- a- port for our Wrangler JK. Used the the Jeep brand cross bars and the Thule J hooks fit perfectly. Very easy to put on and take off the cross bars. Our kayaks fit perfectly on the Hulu- a- ports and are very secure. We paid extra for the best and we are not disappointed…would highly recommend and would buy them again.

I have 3 of these carriers. They are solid, sturdy add- ons to my roof rack. One of my kayaks is an unwieldy 72 lb tandem. The design of the rack helps us slide it up on top and into the carrier.

I Bought these racks for a 10 Hour trip to North Carolina. these things are absolutely rock steady. The steel Straps that attach to your cross bars do n't slip a millimeter during transit. also the strap guide on the top bar of these racks are great so you can set the strap and fold it up without having to climb up on the car to do so. Very pricey as far as kayak racks go but worth every penny in piece of mind.

Massassaga Matt
We have used this rack for 2 trips. It does not lock, but is east to remove from the crossbar to be stowed inside the vehicle while we were camping. The rack is compact so that we were ae to carry a kayak and a canoe on our trips. After a 5 hour car ride, the vessels were still secure and stable. Excellent product.
5
Nice quality, this mounted perfectly on Toyota OEM crossbars as the bracket is about 4 '' wide. I suggest putting the straps on the rack 1 kayak at a time and start with loading the side of the vehicle with the rack farthest away( if not centered) as it is easy to get them tangled and bunched over each other. Also, if you have an SUV you will be hopeless putting on 2 kayaks by yourself if you are under 6' tall. I bought my rack second hand( used once) from a shorter person with a big SUV.

We have used the Thule Compass many times and we love it. The only issue is that it does take a while to load and secure boats. Not a huge deal and should get better with practice.

Was easy to install. Be sure to read the instructions. There are adjustment screws you need to use for a snug fit. Loaded easily before my paddle. After a few hours of paddling, I did not have the strength to get the kayak back on. I am a big, strong guy. My kayak is only 68 pounds. Thought I could do it. Fortunately, someone came along and pushed it right up for me. I an going to try it again with the bow rope looped up around the carrier bar. Otherwise, I will only be taking it where I know I can get some help loading.

I love this rack! Easy to load and unload your kayak from and easy to strap it down. It's very solid and my kayak does n't move when traveling at 65 mph. No bow or stern tie straps are even necessary when going short distances at 55- 60 mph. My kayak lies flat and does n't allow the wind to push my vehicle while traveling. Compared to other kayak carriers it is also very affordable. I would definitely recommend this rack.

I love these racks! Very sturdy, quick to put on, look awesome on my jeep, and I love that they came with straps. I ended up buying a second pair and fit two kayaks on roof perfectly. Saw someone with a cheaper j rack and they just do n't compare at all!

I 've used a few times now and overall it's a very good J- cradle kayak rack for the price. I 'm going to buy some easier to fasten bow and stern lines but overall it's a nice system. It would be nice if they had locking feature for peace of mind.

As a canoeist/kayaker for 47 years, I 've tied/racked/trucked a lot of boats. I can recommend the quality of the Malone racks... study frames, reliable attachment system to the car/van, good padding to avoid damage to the boats, good sturdy straps for securing the racks& boats. However, I have been using 2 sets of the Malone J- Racks which can stay attached to the vehicle but can be folded down when not in active use. Getting the racks folded or back into place is very easy and I think can make setting the straps before racking the boat a tad easier than a stationary rack. I like the idea of calling less attention to the fact I have the racks on at all, also cuts down on wind resistence and noise. For a few dollars more, you should shop around for a deal on the Malone fold- down racks.

This Kayak rack is great. It is easy to install and easy to load. Safe and effective. When I am hauling just a few miles at 45 mph I skipped the bow and tail lines and it was just fine. When I haul on the highway I will strap is down fully. Liked this product enough I ordered a second one!

My Folbot kayak is my family's favorite, but until I bought the SeaWing Stinger getting it on the van was a struggle and my wife was always nervous during the trip. Now I can load it by myself. It looks secure, is secure and no wind noise. the family is very happy.

Unfortunately, I could n't use this system because unlike the picture, the rear piece does not extend over the back of my vehicle because I have to locate the cross rails more forward. Also, my kayak is too heavy for me to lift onto the piece and I had to figure out a difference way to get it on top of my SUV. For most people, though, it's a good system and the price was very reasonable
$179.99
Highly recommended, esp if you have a tall vehicle or larger size Kayak, as the ramps on the front of each carrier really come in handy to prevent contact with your vehicle, or in my case, my wife's

Bought these for my new kayak. I 've never used a J- Style before. These were super easy to install and the directions were helpful. When loading the kayak, it was fast and easy. For not having used a rack or loaded a kayak, these worked great. I love that the racks fold down, it was worth the additional money.

Easy to install! Overall a great product! Only issues I am having is strapping which is more me probably! Sometimes the strap will not slide that easy! Plus my vehicle is some taller than most. I bought two sets hoping to put a third kayak in the middle with no luck!

Great product. Well- made. Good instructions. Easy to install and use. The only problem I have is with the second one I bought. The rails on a Toyota Sienna are not wide enough for both sets to open fully and lock. Still working on a solution.

I have been transporting my Kayak for almost 20 years and have had various Kayak specific carriers. These are great carriers and very stable. It only took me 15 minutes to install the first time, the next time it took about 8 minutes. I remove them between trips and so far it has been really easy. Highly recommended, esp if you have a tall vehicle or larger size Kayak, as the ramps on the front of each carrier really come in handy to prevent contact with your vehicle, or in my case, my wife's baby!! `` Dont you scratch my car!

Purchased this about a month ago to transport 2 kayaks on the weekend. I liked that these can be folded down when not in use vs some of the others I looked at. By the 3rd trip my son and I can have the kayaks mounted in about 10 minutes and less to get down. Only advice, which may be obvious, is to make sure the mounting nuts on the bottom side are tight prior to putting the kayaks up there as I find I can get about 3/4 turn in between trips.

\ My daughter's SUV had cross bars so the Malone Auto Racks were very easy to use. The directions were simple to follow and by the time she loaded the kayaks at the end of our vacation, she found the process quite easy. We appreciated being able to take both kayaks.

Super easy to set up with clear instructions. Just have to be careful opening the hatchback on my car since the back rack hits the window every time I pop it open.
