Expert Reply:

In order to carry two kayaks on a 2019 Subaru Outback you are first going to need to start with a roof rack for which I recommend using the Yakima JetStream Crossbar System part # Y00425, part # Y53TR, and part # Y00241. The Yakima JetStream Crossbar System has aero shaped crossbars for reduced wind noise, integrated channels for accessories, and a custom fit set of landing pads that install in fixed mounting points on the roof which makes for a really nice overall look.

Then, in order to secure both kayaks you will need to use two j-style carriers so you have room for both kayaks and for this I recommend the Yakima JayLow Kayak Carrier part # Y04073 because they are easy to use, can fold down when not in use, and come with all the tie-downs you will need as well.

If you want to add matching locks to all of the above parts then you will also need the Yakima Same Key System part # Y07208 but this is not required.
