Better than I expected at this price

Fits my streamlined Subaru/Thule roof rack although the mounting bolts are slightly longer and the crossbar is only held in place by grommets at the ends, not behind the center steel mounting plate racks . While it appears to be firmly connected to the handlebars, the surface area providing traction isn't as great if your car has faired handlebars. Should be fine for short trips to a lake or pond, but I wouldn't go cross-country kayaking at highway speeds. You get what you pay for and it's…

Pros
  • Beautifully packaged
Cons
  • Volume

I needed a folding stand for some infrequent kayak transport, so I couldn't justify spending nearly $200 on branded versions. I chose them after reading a lot of Revain reviews and thinking they sound cheap but not too cheap. I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the box. They were well packaged, much heavier than I expected for $50 (I bought 2 packs for $99). It came with webbing straps, which I also didn't expect. The big benefit would be how it holds up to the weather but I'm not worried…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Unreliable

Broken on the Autobahn

The metal plate that attaches the roof rack to the roof rack broke while driving down the Autobahn at 100 km/h on a windless day. I want to request a refund but I can't contact anyone. I've only had them for a few months and I'm VERY disappointed. Do not buy if you value your boat and/or safety on the road.****UPDATE**** Even though Revain's refund period for this product has passed, I was able to (several) deal with the shipping company with no problems Contact them and they sent me a shipping

Love it! Multiple uses

I used to have fixed kayak mounts and they worked pretty well. But I scratched the roof of my garage and had to stop several times to remove it because the car didn't fit in city parking lots. With these mounts I don't have to worry anymore! Because of the way they fold and provide additional surfaces to attach items to, they also seem very handy for transporting furniture and other odd-shaped items. Finally, since they fold fairly flat, they don't prevent me from tying large, flat items to the

Pros
  • good stuff
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Poorly designed and not built to last

Whoever designed this should lose their engineering degree. Here's what you're signing up for: an annoying rig with vague instructions and extra detail, exposed metal studs pointing straight at your paintwork, and a single bar mount held on with just plastic nuts. The steering wheel engages with plastic prongs that don't seem to hold up to repeated use. If any part of this thing fails, you're left with nothing but straps, thoughts, and prayers holding the kayak to the roof of your car. Maybe…

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • I'll write later
