Pros & Cons
Pros
The straps that come with them are so easy to use and seem to hold tight without crushing the kayaks. The cam straps with the rubber casing really makes it safe for throwing at the car without worrying about damaging the car.
Highlights
Quality
These racks work great and were easy to install.
They work absolutely great, were a breeze to put on, and we did get the locks also so we can leave them on through the summer.
The locks aren't cheap either, and again, it's functionality that should just be part of the racks.
It takes 30-45 minutes to put on/ take them off!
Price
The cheaper non folding alternatives are a pain to set up!
Just include them, and increase the price slightly.
Shipping
Received it in less than a week, small compact box.
Arrived very fast and although i won't be mounting them until next spring appear to be very well built.
