Question:
Ive read a lot of kayak carrier reviews and whether to use the J-style versus stacker for three kayaks. The answer is always to use the stacker but why? Why cant you put three sets of J-style carriers facing one way to secure three kayaks?

Expert Reply:
Having three J-Style kayak carriers up on your roof will be rather hard to load. If you were to go the J-Style Carrier Route # e98878 I could have the ones on the outside facing away each other and the middle one facing either way. With the J-Style carrier set up you'll have to lift your kayaks over the carrier every time. The stacker # TH830 you could just get two of them and fold them down when your getting your kayaks up there, then fold them up when you're ready. The stacker will just be easier to load and unload.
