Great bindings but $$

There is nothing particularly wrong with these kayak bindings. They'll do exactly what they're designed to do, but for the same price you can get two budget kits that work just as well. They seem a lot stronger and I expect they'll probably last longer, but my other budget wearables work just as well. If you're constantly lugging yaks back and forth they might cost more, but if you're going on a weekend getaway you might want the premium quality they bring to the table.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Some bugs

Swagman roof bars will not fit all manufacturers roof bars

Very good quality roof bars. I had to send them back because they didn't fit my '05 Toyota Tacoma. Roof rack. The bracket didn't fit around the bar and therefore didn't leave enough room to screw the bottom bolts into the strut without hitting the top of the truck. We tried different solutions but they just didn't work. Another problem was that our truck was very tall and we needed a ladder to lift our kayaks over the J-Bracket. No problem with brackets J, only with us. We have to be higher.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • No performance

Fantastic - check out Thule

This is a fantastic kayak holder. I have an Isuzu Rodeo with a factory fitted roof rack and a 9.5 foot Potomac recreational kayak (Dicks sells them for [.]). The cross braces are slightly bent, so if I were to buy Thule or any other brand I would have to buy transducer mounts. But this rack is perfect for the big boys price. The padding on the stand is great and the straps are perfect for the job. The kayak was very secure and didn't move at all. The only change I made was that instead of the…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • The list will go on.

not so versatile - camping

I bought these luggage racks for a 2010 Toyota Rav 4. Received them fairly quickly, Revain is great for fast shipping. I bought these instead of Thule racks because they were so much cheaper. The only problem is that the handles that came with the uprights to attach the uprights to your car's cross members are too close to the Rav 4's roof. I ended up buying shorter bolts and wing nuts to keep them from denting or scratching. Car roof. I am happy with the current setup and the racks are very…

Pros
  • This is awesome
Cons
  • Security

A good quality kayak holder that fits easily on my oval racks.

I bought these J-Racks to hold my wife's 9ft 6in SOT kayak. These racks did a great job of holding my wife's kayak throughout our 600 mile trip. I will add that the product comes with two cam straps as well as ropes to tie the bow and stern. I used ratchet straps (not too tight) and cam straps on the posts themselves. " Rola struts on my SUV. The product seems to be of good quality and while I'll probably leave the struts on, it only takes 5-10 minutes to remove or install them (if so). Overall

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Reliability
