• Includes Everything You Need for Setup: The cradles come with hardware, straps and trunk anchors which makes the loading and securing process easy. The tie-down straps wrap around your kayak and under the crossbars so that your kayak sits securely on your rooftop saddles, while the safety ropes and trunk anchors connect the bow and stern of your kayak to the front and back of your vehicle for extra insurance.
• Visually Appealing: Unlike traditional J style roof racks that stick out like deer antlers, our kayak saddle racks have a low profile appearance thats easy on the eyes. They take up very little space and also provide minimal wind noise while drivingmaking it a convenient alternative to larger types of kayak carrier racks.
• Fits Most Types of Rooftop Crossbars: In a perfect world, all vehicle crossbars and rails would be the same universal width. But because thats not the case, its tricky to design a roof rack bracket system that fits perfectly on all vehicles. The ideal crossbar width for our roof cradles is 1.5 inches wide, but dont assume the crossbars have to fit perfectly inside the bracket channels. Many vehicles have wider 2-3 inch crossbars, which is perfectly fine, but will require a little additional tightening.

You've done your research and you realize there's a bunch of different kayak roof racks available, so why choose saddles? Before we answer that, let's discuss the other options first. Assuming your vehicle doesn't have crossbars/rails, your options are limited. You can either have rails installed or use a simpler method such as foam blocks or roof pads. If your vehicle does have crossbars, your most likely looking for a system that mounts directly to the roof. Your two options are the traditional J rack style or saddles. J racks are good because you can fit two kayaks side by side. The downside.. the kayak is sitting on it's side and has more friction with the rack itself and can sometimes cause minor scratching or damage. On the other hand, saddles, or sometimes referred to as cradles, are only capable of holding one kayak at a time, but the saddles conform to your kayak's hull and there's less chance of friction or damage. There's no right or wrong answer, it all depends on preference. But if you're looking for a set of cradles that will fit your kayak nice and snug, you can't go wrong with the Best Marine & Outdoors Roof Rack Saddles!
