This compact, fixed J-style kayak carrier has a smaller footprint than most carriers. It lets you transport 1 kayak on your crossbars and leaves plenty of room for other gear. Includes load straps, tie-downs, and mounting hardware.

Specs:
The Kuat Class 2 J-style carrier is always ready to go when you are. Its fixed arms hold your kayak on its side, providing a sturdy mode of transport. The arms and bases have a thick rubber padding to protect your kayak from scratches and scuffs while loading and during transport.
If you have a taller vehicle, you may need to remove the carrier to park in your garage.
Because of its small footprint, the carrier also takes up less space on your roof than most J-style carriers. This means you'll have plenty of room to carry another kayak, cargo basket, or whatever other gear you might need.
With most kayak carriers, tying down your kayak can be a hassle because of shifting straps. The Class 2 simplifies that process with convenient strap ports in the arms of the carrier, to make securing your kayak easier. Once fed through the slots, the straps stay in place while securing your kayak to your vehicle.
The Class 2 comes with a total of 4 straps: 2 tie-down straps that secure your kayak to the carrier and a set of bow/stern straps to secure it to the front and back of your vehicle. The rubber-coated cam buckles on the carrier straps and the rubber sleeves on the bow/stern tie-downs help with grip and protect your vehicle from scratches. All the straps are made of a durable nylon webbing and have hook-and-loop fasteners to secure excess slack. 
If your vehicle doesn't have any tie-down points, you can get an anchor kit (sold separately), which will let you create anchor points in the creases of your vehicle's hood and hatch.
The carrier clamps to most crossbars without the need for tools. Simply set the rack on your crossbars, slide the mounting brackets over the bolts, and secure them with the T-knobs.
