  • Misleading compatibility—doesn’t fit Thule Wing Bar Evo
Seems like a well-built product, unfortunately I couldn’t put it to use because (as another reviewer pointed out), these don’t fit the Thule Wing Bar Evo. The bolt fits the channel in the load bars just fine, but the plastic t-shaped extrusion on the other end of the foot will not fit into the channel. The manual for these saddles say they fit “Thule Aero” and “Thule Professional”—two t-slot racks from Thule—and that they do not fit Thule square bar, but doesn’t list Wingbar evo one way or the other. Don’t make the mistake I did and assume if it fits Thule Probar and “Aero”, that it must fit the WingBar Evo. It doesn’t. ... show more

  • These are great, but if you're using the Thule Evo Wingbar, order the 570.
I got these with hopes of using the T Bolt system to cleanly attach to my Thule Evo Wingbar system. I received these and could not get them to fit in the roof rack. The T bolt goes into the channel between the rubber strips just fine, but the Nautic has a plastic tab that also needs to slide through the channel, which does not fit. If they just had two T bolts instead of one T bolt and the plastic tab, these would have been great. I'm returning these and ordering the 570, which clamps around the bar instead of through the rack channel. Unfortunately, it won't be as clean a look. ... show more

  • Doesn't fit Thule rack slots
Nice idea but the tabs don't go I. The Thule slots. I got the "universal" one instead, but it's slow to out on or take off due to needing a special type of he wrench.

  • Plastic but seems strong enough for a 95-lb kayak.
I got the side-loading ones (580) but they work for loading from the back too (just lifting kayak a bit and using t-bar loading in the back). It keeps the kayak very stable at up to 70 mph on the highway. It does not move at all. It is also a perfect fit for Malone aero bars.

  • Jeep Wrangler JK on Rhino Rack with Wilderness Systems Tarpon 105 and 120
Works pretty well on my Jeep Wrangler. I was hoping i could buy 2 sets and get 2 Wilderness Systems Tarpon Kayaks on to top of my hard top but they require a tad bit more space than half the width of the rack.

  • Perfect solution for my Hobie Pro Angler
I modified the Rhino Rack 580's to help support a Hobie Pro Angler 14 on my trailer. They were designed to fit C-Channel roof rails, but I converted them to fit the Uni-strut steel channel I used on my trailer. They seem to of very good quality, and fit my requirements perfectly. (Rhino Rack sells a conversion kit to work with Uni-Strut, but they were out of stock at the time I purchased the saddles.) ... show more

  • Able to go 70 mph down the interstate without my 100 lbs kayak shifting in the slightest.
This fit my Rhino Rack Vertex 2500 bars using the C channel hardware. Using the supplied tie down cable it is very secure. I was able to go 70 mph down the interstate without my 100 lbs kayak shifting in the slightest. I am glad I chose Rhino Rack rack and accessories.
