Thule The Stacker - Rooftop Multi-Kayak Carrier
Hauled up 2 Day touring Kayaks over 2000 miles without any issues.
These were easy to install and use. I do recommend this carrier for multiple kayaks transport.

Thule Portage Canoe Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - Gunwale Brackets - Side Loading
As all Thule products the Thule universally mounted canoe carrier is great. It came with all required items for safe and easy canoe transportation. There are two straps with pull to fasten for the canoe down, two tie down ropes for each end with nice pull tight and release mechanisms for the cord as well, along with two straps to fasten to the canoe ends used with the pull to tighten cords. The Chevy traverse cross bar had to have the plastic end caps removed for use with Thule canoe carrier. This was because my canoe took up the entire cross bar width to allow for Thule mounts. It is not a big deal to remove the plastic end caps. They only provide a finished stream lined look. Happy and Safe Canoeing
On Monday, I ordered the Thule Portage Canoe Gunwale Brackets from etrailer. My order was filled the same day, shipped on Tuesday, and arrived Thursday morning. These design of these brackets is elegant; the brackets appear durable and and they are easy to use. Thus, they are a step up from the ones I have been using for years.

Swagman Exo Aero Rooftop Kayak Carrier System with Tie-Downs - Saddle Style - Universal Mount
Build like a tank, easy to mount, does the job well. Thanks, e-trailer
Works well and is well made. No a quick on and off the roof. Screws provided to attach rack to rails were way too long and all had to be cut. They have a unique head which made it impossible to just get shorter screws. Does not fold flat so garage door opening has to be pretty tall.

Rola J-Rac Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs - J-Style - Fixed Arms - Clamp On
Nice fit excellent
The product looks sturdy and they are easy to attach. Greg was very helpful at the time that I ordered by helping me make sure I bought the right products for my CRV. I tried another company first but the service was terrible and they would not talk to me to be sure I was ordering the proper pieces I needed. Thank you, Greg.

Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - J-Style or Post Style - Folding - 1 or 2 Kayaks
Needed carriers to haul my old 17 foot P&H Icefloe. Yakima J-low carriers were easily installed and are good fit for my '04 Toyota Highlander. I really dig the low ramp as I dont have to lift the boat as high to get it on the carrier.
This is my second set as I bought a second kayak. I bought the first set about a year ago. The first set has been easy to use with my Thule aero cross bars. The kayak was easy to load and tie down with just myself.

Darby Extend-A-Truck Kayak Carrier w/ Hitch Mounted Load Extender and Single-Bar Roof Rack
This product works but it could be a little more solid. It rattles and is able to move around more than I would like. If I had the opportunity to purchase this item again I would probable look at alternate solutions.

Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier - Fixed - Universal Mount
This is a great investment! My husband and I go kayaking a lot and we both have Priuses so not so conducive to kayaking. I bought this for my husband's 2012 Prius and the J hooks to go with it and it hold both of our 10 ft kayacks with no problems.
Arrived in god shape. Bars went on great. Haven't placed the J bars yet

Rhino-Rack Nautic Roof Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - Side Loading - Clamp On
The carrier generally works well and I like that you can flip the carrier toward you if putting the kayak up from the side of the vehicle and then flip kayak and carrier to the mounted position. It's more difficult to mount the kayak from the rear of the vehicle. The carrier's rubber surface does not allow an easy slide up from rear to front, at least not for a fiberglass/gel coat hull. I actually installed two felt pads on the rear carrier to allow me to slide the kayak forward and this seems to work. Otherwise the carrier works well.
The rack attaches to the cross bars with Allen head type screws. This is no problem if you leave the rack on the crossbars but can be difficult if you frequently remove the rack.
Jim Haemmerle - 01/25/2020Great product !!! Easy to install !!!

Yakima BigStack Roof Mounted 2 Kayak Carrier System
Good product. Always am a little nervous that they will slip on the rack but they never have. (This is b/c we mixed Yakima on this one with different manufacturer for the rack and Yakima is built to be multipurpose so not perfect fit.) That said, nothing but success so far.
I have had the exact opposite experience. The straps are all solid and strong and the kayaks are rock solid on there. They even included little rubber tubes for padding for the front and aft tie-downs. In addition to many local trips, I drove 8 hours each way to Michigan last summer and the rack was perfect.

etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier - Folding - Universal Mount
Ok... It's the middle of winter in Colorado, but I'm getting ready to put the kayaks in the water. Shipping time... Great! Three days. Packaged perfectly. Mounted easily. Mounted the kayaks. The only hard thing was putting the strap around the back of the bracket. A stepladder will need to go with me to the water! I drove around to make sure all was secure. Perfect! 60 plus mph.... All is fine. Nice to have the front and rear tiedowns included. All hardware is heavy duty, and well supported by my stock Outback racks. Need to take them for a trip to the mountains! (After the snow clears out...) .
working great,no issues,lot of use,thumbs up.
Myles Dudley - 02/13/2020Thule SUP Taxi Stand-Up Paddleboard Carrier Review - 2014 Dodge Journey
Today, on our 2014 Dodge Journey, we'll be test-fitting the Thule SUP Taxi Stand-Up Paddleboard Carrier, with a 2-board capacity, part number TH810. With a Thule Rapid Crossroads Roof Rack System assembledonto our vehicle, we'll begin our test-fit by placing the front part of the carrier onto our front bar. We can then bring the rubber-coated steel straps around the underside of the bar, and hook them into the connection points. We can then turn the gray knobs to bring the straps up around tightly against the front bar. With this done, we can go ahead and repeat the same process for the rear part of the carrier. Once everything is all tightened down and secured, we're ready to load-up our paddleboard. We'll first need to undo the straps from the carrier.
Thule SUP Taxi Stand-Up Paddleboard Carrier Review - 2013 Dodge Journey
Today on our 2013 Dodge Journey well be test fitting the Thule SUP Taxi Standup Paddle Board Carrier, part number TH810. To mount our carrier well take the first half and set it up on top of the front load bar. Well feed the speed link straps around the bar and back into heads then tighten them down with the gray knobs. Then well take the second half of the carrier, and repeat the same procedure at the rear bar. We do want to make sure that the second half lines up nicely with the front half so that we can properly carry our paddle board. Thats it for our test fit of the Thule SUP Taxi Standup Paddle Board Carrier, part number TH810 on our 2013 Dodge Journey..
Everything still doing great. Thanks
