Strong, easy to use once secured to roof bars. Marginally easy to fit because four screws are fitted to the base plate and need to be tightened on to the roof bar which is a bit fiddly but once done seems a strong fit. If you need to use the roof bar for other transportation the base plates need removing each time by unscrewing four screws per base plate. So no quick release from roof bars.Otherwise, held my two 10' kayaks with no issues onto square profile roof bars.The metal loop flips up or drops down and can be locked securely into place. Only weakness is that the metal loop is not covered with soft foam to protect the kayaks/canoes.So you need to fit and secure your own.The web strap provided is very useful to secure the kayak once lifted into place to stop it falling off and can then be tightened to finally secure the kayak. Just be aware that the front and back of the kayak must be secured to prevent the kayak slipping / moving in transit (!) so you need to buy extra straps because this kit does not provide them. Need to check the securing screws on the roof bar from time to time for tightness. A great product and v. good quality with a few other subtleties the buyer needs to be aware of: need front and rear straps, need to fit (plumbing?) foam to metal loop and no quick release from roof bars.

Great for transporting kayaks on your Thule roof bars. They come with T track fittings, so they just slide onto the roof bars like cycle carriers. Simple design, but very effective. You get two stackers in a pack. These will transport two kayaks, each stacked on its side, decks facing inwards and each other. I reckon I'll buy two more, then I can fit four kayaks on my car. Very pleased with these. You need to remove them once you have taken your kayaks off, otherwise an opportunist thief could have them.

Easy to install (i used the T-Track) allowed space to put the roof box on too - good product, although their does appear to be a small split in the plastic housing for the tightening nut - not enough to be bothered to return - but a slight annoyance, think it is because the housing for the nut is very tight.Have used it quite a lot now and gives a firm secure attachment for the kayak - straps are a good standard.

Fitted easily. After a few load slippages we worked out how to secure the kayaks using ratchet straps. the straps that came with the kit were too short for our kayaks

These will be getting a test when I take both boats to Shropshire, they fitted to the roof bars with relative ease and fold down when not in use.

fantstic supplier, delivered so quick, excellent packaging, and the carrier went up in 15 minutes of Allen key turning !

Quite simple to fit and holds the kayaks well- folds down when not in use to reduce noise and wind resistance.
