Worked better than I thought

The instructions say to use the screw that holds your headlights. It seemed pretty far for my 2018 Subaru Outback, but even for my 13.6ft tandem kayak it's a good spot.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • I won't tell

Works well on racks so far

Works well so far. Easy to install and use. Remove from sight when not in use. Highly recommend using a protective vinyl for the areas where they touch the car once you have gone that far.

Pros
  • Test for one year
Cons
  • I have no negative feelings about it, everything is fine

Good quality and value.

Inexpensive and sufficiently good quality. I wish they were a little longer so the rope doesn't hang down the front of my hood when placed far forward. I would say they are good value.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Only available in black

Yakima Anchor Straps

Yakima Anchor Straps Exceeded Expectations I tow my 19 foot square backed Grumman canoe onto a Dodge trailer. Have done it about 6 times this summer, very happy with the work of the straps. Without them there is no other way to tow my canoes and his heavy old canoes weigh 110 pounds or more. speed checked.

Pros
  • All right!
Cons
  • New Competitors Arrive

My boats haven't fallen down yet!

So far so good. The bushing holes match the size of the bolts on my car's frame. The straps are hidden under the hood when not in use. The strap is just the right length so the ratchet hook doesn't bang on the hood at high speed. Road test with a 15 foot aluminum canoe at over 80 km/h - no problem. Road test with four 10ft kayaks at over 100km/h - no problem.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Weak

These straps are so much better than trying to tie my canoe to mine.

These straps are a lot better than trying to tie a canoe to a bumper. I have a 14 year old Toyota Sienna and wish the belts were an inch or two longer, but they still worked fine. We used them on a 600 mile trip with no issues. I'd advise using some sort of thread-locking compound to make sure the nuts don't come loose, but I'm very careful. A few inches longer and that would be a 5 star rating.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Low maintenance

Best disappointed by Cargo Management

I am disappointed. AFTER ONE USE one of these things started to tear. I had a different set inserted temporarily each time. I didn't like them because they didn't seem reliable so I thought they would be great since they bolt into the car under the hood. Well, the old ones never showed any signs of wear. It's terrible that this one started to tear after one use. In both versions I used harnesses, not ropes. Now I will start using ropes with them. Either way, it's better for forward visibility…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Secret
