Expert Reply:

Since you have a roof rack on your 2015 Subaru Outback Wagon, we have a couple options that will work for you.

I recommend the Thule The Stacker Kayak Carrier, part # TH830. This system will fit most round, square, or factory crossbars with a maximum width of 3 inches. The minimum crossbar spread this will work with is 24 inches.

This system includes the straps that secure the kayaks to the carrier and tie-downs for the bow/stern of the kayak. For additional straps you can order part # SR0704. I have a product review video attached you may want to take a look at for this carrier. The carrier has a weight capacity of 130 lbs.

You will want to check your owner's manual or with your dealership to make sure you do not exceed the weight capacity for your Outback.
