Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Using this to secure my 17' 50lb kayak. I go kayaking with my brother and have both my kayaks strapped in and secured before he gets his secured in a truck bed. Used to cartop a canoe.

Over all i'm very happy with how it looks and how it performs. Updated my review. These things are a miracle!

The strap buckle is rubber coated so it won't scratch your vehicle. I'm still getting used to securing all the straps. This product gives great support to my 55lb kayak and it leaves no scratches on the car either.

The yakima top loader is super easy to install and remove. Extremely easy and safe installation and removal. Easy to install ( less then 10 minutes).



Cons

The problem is that it leaks water into the vehicle when it's raining. What i found out is that after traveling with it on with nothing loaded on the roof it scratched my car by the doors.

I didnt want to put a whole mount on my car plus they are sooo expensive!

Purchased a new pungo 125 kayak and was able to quickly and easily mount the pads on my truck and then transport the kayak home.

Packaging/appearance


It makes packing up to go out on our boards very simple.

Competitiveness


Glad i choose this one over the other generic soft roof racks.


This product is better than any ones ive ever seen and i bought another one and ill buy more as long as they are available.


I decided to pay a little extra money for the yakima brand easy top roof rack rather than an off brand because of their good cu...  Read More


Yakima is a reliable brand and that's the main reason i bought this despite seeing similar racks on amazon for half their price.
