Make sure lock with 2 clicks

Installation was straightforward, however one of the barrel nut was faulty and I have to email support for a replacement. Support was very responsive and sent out the replacement nut in 3 days.Locking comes with 2 levels (need to hear 2 click sound), sometimes if the alignment is not straight, it may only lock at one level. I always use the key to further lock it so that there will be no accidental release of the lock.To all users of ski rack, please take due diligence of the usage. If a ski…

Pros
  • The BougeRV Ski & Snowboard Racks are designed to securely transport up to 3 boards at once
Cons
  • The plastic components may deteriorate or crack with prolonged exposure to the elements

Loud Whistle Noise when going above 40mph

Seems to be made well and easy to install. There’s a very loud wind whistle noise when driving. It doesn’t matter if its loaded or not. I’ve tried installing both ways and turning them around and it doesn’t make a difference. The noise is unbearable making these totally unusable for me. I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee with standard oval racks. For the price, I’d look elsewhere for racks that are more aerodynamically designed.

Pros
  • Muy fácil de armar y ligero
Cons
  • Expensive compared to other ski and snowboard racks on the market

I had this for more than a year now. Installed it carefully and did a snow trip Las year. It was great! Loved it. It’s very easy and love the lock. This year, I attached it again to the top of the car rack, went up the mountain fine but on the way back however, the top piece broke off in the middle of the highway. The issue wasn’t with the piece you attach when you Mount it but with a core piece that keeps it together. I’ve attached a pic of what was left.

Pros
  • Holds skis his great but definitely reduces you miles per gallon
Cons
  • came without assembly gear

Missing pieces: my feedback

I got the package only to find an extremely beat up box, missing key for the lock and only one of the two large pieces to put the skis in. Will absolutely be sending back and going with a different brand.

Pros
  • Comes with all the necessary hardware and accessories required for quick and easy installation, ensuring hassle-free setup and use
Cons
  • May be difficult to store when not in use, taking up valuable garage or storage space

Locks are annoying best in my review

Cannot unlock and take the key out must turn back to lock position to pull key. Kind of annoying but whatever I guess. Great for the price with the features

Pros
  • Sports & Outdoors
Cons
  • The white color may become dingy or discolored over time

Nice ski rack, good value

These were super easy to install and remove. Love that I can lock my skis in it. Good customer service. There was a stripped bolt that wouldn't tighten. I needed the rack the to use the following week and they had the part out to me in 2 days

Pros
  • Load Capacity
Cons
  • May scratch or damage the surface of the vehicle

Really good: my feedback

Overall really good and secure racks. Easy to install. I really think the extension feature is very useful. Customer service did a great job too. The box arrived opened and the mounting hardware was missing. I had a snowboarding trip coming up in a few days so they rushed the missing pieces to me just in time.

Pros
  • The 16' size is perfect for accommodating a variety of board sizes
Cons
  • Only suitable for use with skis and snowboards, limiting versatility for other sports equipment

Working well for the snow season

These are working well for the snow season. It can hold my snow board just well. and besides on that it will also slide out to let the loading and unloading process easier.

Pros
  • Offered at an affordable price point, making it accessible to a wide range of budgets and users
Cons
  • May require additional tools or hardware for installation

Great ski racks. Great customer service.

The first ones they sent me broke in 4 minutes, but after I emailed them within 8 days, new racks were at my door. Great ski racks! The fit is a bit tight, but overall functional in nature. The locking mechanism can be a bit finicky at times but overall works fine. Please remember! Put key in, turn counter clockwise, open rack, put skis in, shut rack, turn key clockwise. As long as you follow those steps it won’t break on you. Overall great product for the price!

Pros
  • Provides excellent protection against damage and wear to your boards during transport
Cons
  • May not be covered under warranty if installed incorrectly

Convenient and works well.

We have an SUV, which makes it a little harder to reach up and put skis on top. This rack is great because you can slide out the bottom to load and unload the skis. It was easy to install and only took about 15 minutes. We had no trouble fitting 5 pair of skis on it. It has a satisfying 'click' to know you've closed the bar over the skis. The design is good and it seems well-made. The only problem we have had is when it is below freezing, you can't extend the rack out to load or unload skis. I…

Pros
  • Enhances overall safety during transport with its sturdy and secure design
Cons
  • May be difficult to clean or maintain

Gets the job done but quality is not where you would want it to be for the price. Should’ve just bought the $99 one. That's my review.

Pros
  • The Crab Mounting System provides maximum load capacity, enabling you to carry up to 3 boards of different sizes and shapes without worrying about weight constraints
Cons
  • May not be compatible with certain roof types or slopes

Great quality and value

So I bought and returned another brand. I have after market wide oval cross bars on my Jeep Wrangler that I use for my kayaks as well. This rack clamping mechanism was big enough and I am very happy with the quality.

Pros
  • The BougeRV Ski & Snowboard Racks offer unmatched adjustability, making it easy to accommodate boards of different sizes and shapes
Cons
  • May not be compatible with all types of roof racks or mounting systems

Works well: my feedback

Easy to install, worked well. Wished they could be unlocked and remain unlocked. I have unlock it every time. May require additional gas mileage due to increased weight and wind resistance on the roof.

Pros
  • The sleek and aerodynamic design of the rack minimizes wind noise, ensuring a smooth and quiet ride even at high speeds
Cons
  • May require additional gas mileage due to increased weight and wind resistance on the roof

Fell apart after a few months

Installed myself and last well most of the ski season but towards the end of the season I was on the highway with skis on it and then the entire rack came flew off and became really dangerous for myself and everyone on that highway. It just came loose and unattached from the car when it’s been tight at the beginning of the season and no problems up to them. Ruined our skis. Liked it until then. Very unhappy with this product and the end result

Pros
  • Exceptional durability and reliability that make this rack a worthwhile investment for outdoor enthusiasts
Cons
  • The sliding feature may become loose or wobbly with repeated use

latch problems on my review.

installation not bad, but awkward if you only use the provided hex. i returned the item because i had a lot of trouble opening and closing the latch. that mechanism felt weak and worked poorly.

Pros
  • Offers peace of mind during transport, knowing that your gear is securely mounted and protected against theft and damage
Cons
  • May not be able to accommodate multiple sizes or styles of skis or snowboards

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Sturdy and easy to use

It took me about 35 minutes from when I opened up the box until I had skis on the car. About 25 minutes of the install was unpacking the pieces and assembling them - I started this process outside by the car, but discovered that the first several steps were simply assembling the hardware and I went back indoors for that.After it was put together, it took me about another 10 minutes to install this on my existing roof rack. I have a Yakima RoundBar rack and this fit just fine. It's easy to put…

Pros
  • Ideal for use by professional skiers and snowboarders, as well as amateurs and beginners looking for secure and reliable transport of their gear
Cons
  • May be affected by strong winds or inclement weather while driving

Horrible. Arrived in completely busted up package that seemed to have been resealed. Parts were MISSING! Will update this review if replacement product is actually intact, but as of now, this is worthless.

Pros
  • The BougeRV Ski & Snowboard Racks are perfect for transporting your gear to and from the slopes, ensuring safe and convenient transport every time
Cons
  • May be an unnecessary expense for occasional or infrequent use

I love the sliding function!

These are so great! I love that they slide out to put your boards on them. Super easy to put together and install on your vehicle. Extremely happy with this purchase!

Pros
  • The Crab Mounting System enhances the overall stability of the racks, ensuring firm and tight connections that reduce the risk of wobbling or balancing during transport
Cons
  • May block access to other areas of the vehicle such as rooftop cargo boxes or bike racks

This is PERFECT! in my review

We have gotten so much use out of this ski rack this year. All four of us ski and this fits perfectly on our SUB and holds our skis with room for guests. It locks and has survived -30 degrees below zero weather without a problem! I highly recommend this rack to anyone!

Pros
  • The 3.0 Anti-Theft Lock Extension provides added security and peace of mind during transport
Cons
  • May rattle or make noise while driving, potentially distracting or annoying passengers

Warning ! in my review

Lost 3 snowboards on the freeway when this rack (top front ) broke off. Over 2K dollars lost when our snowboards fell out while driving on the freeway. Yes the lock was on. The locks actually broke off on both.

Pros
  • Provides ample space for multiple boards without taking up unnecessary space
Cons
  • May interfere with the opening of sunroofs or other roof-mounted features
