Easy To Fit To Vehicle

I bought the racks as a gift for daughter and son-in-law. This is the ones they picked out.

As expected on box but have not tried the product yet

Solid J-cradle At Reasonable Price

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.

Nice Product - Not "Universal"

While the quality of the rack attachments are fine, the plastic bracket the supports are mounted to and the clamp bolts supplied did not fit my Saris load bars. You can call me old-school but I decided to make it fit by grinding an arc about 1/2" deep. Now it fits!

Love

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 don't compare at all!

Good...but Other Malone Rack Recommended

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.
