Review on 🚣 High-Quality 2 Pairs Kayak Rack J-Bar Car Roof Rack with Tie-Down Straps for Canoe, SUP, and Surfboard Mounting on Car, SUV, and Truck Crossbar by Charles Lardieri

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Strap too short

First of all my assessment after 6 months of ownership. They're quick to put on and the padding stays on when I take them off after each weekend so they don't get damaged in the sun. They hold the kayak well on the J-Rack, but the clamps are a different story. Belt on the verge of uselessness. They are too short (8 feet) for an average 30 inch wide kayak. Drop them and grow 12 feet long. The J-Rack itself is strong and holds the kayak well, but the clamps need a rubber pad in between because after they're attached tight enough, they can still move over my bar with some force. The rubber pad will solve this problem and too The J-Rack clamps fit your handlebars better. I should only give 3 stars because the straps are short and your kayak "is allowed" to move a bit after driving on the freeway. I would buy them again if they came with longer straps. The rubber seal between the clamps is easy to attach.

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
