  • Great quality! Worth the price
Style: Side Loading
Great quality product. Shipped fast. I attached these to my rhino rack vortex roof rack and install was a breeze. Also they're quick and easy to remove and reattach if you want to store away when you're not using kayaks, but I keep them on because they look pretty nice on the rack. My 10' Sit on top Pelican Zest fits great on these and the tie downs included are great quality as well. Even though I have a small hatchback Prius C, it's very hard to get my kayak on top of the car by myself because I don't have much upper body strength. I'm glad I got the rear loading instead of the side loader though because I'll be investing in a kayak loading assist device or making my own from pvc pipes and suction cups, this will assist in loading the kayak from the rear. Only con is that they start whistling once I hit 30mph. It's very loud at highway speeds to the point that if I weren't playing music all the time I'd be pretty annoyed by the whistling. But this isn't really a big factor for me, I'd purchase these again in a heart beat for the quality! I technically don't have the kayak sitting on the saddles correctly in my picture as I didn't have the saddles pushed close enough together to where the kayak is up off of the roof rack. But whether it's up off the rack or sitting on the rack, the saddles and tied down straps make everything snug and secure. ... show more

  • Finally a perfect fit for the Thule Xsporter!
Style: Side Loading
Just received and installed 2 of these Rhino 581's on my Thule Xsporter rack...perfect fit! I adjusted and loaded our 2 yaks, an Old Town Vapor and an Ascend FS 10. Loading was easy with the felt pads in back. The rubber front cradles held it in place firmly, well designed! Installation required only a sharp knife to cut up and reinstall the rubber strip on top. The plastic locks seem ok, but should be made out of metal with a real lock and metal key. I have been driving around all weekend without the yaks, even at freeway speeds and got no whistling that other reviewers have stated. I love the looks of it, and the quality appears to be to be top notch! ... show more

  • Works perfectly
Style: Side Loading
These work great. I'm using them on a set of Rhino Aero Bars mounted on a 2016 Honda CRV. I also use the Seattle Sports Sherpak Roller on the back window of the car. With this combination I can load my Hobie Revo13 without ever having to lift the whole boat at once. I also really like the straps that come with these. I've had this for over a year now and would buy the exact same setup again if I needed to. ... show more

  • Wrong parts
Style: Side Loading
Mine didn’t come with the back two pieces that should’ve been covered in felts. I received 4 of the front pieces.

  • Work Great with a Thule Track Rack
Style: Side Loading
Overall pretty happy with this system. I couldn't find any definitive answer as to whether or not these would work with the Thule Track Rack system. Ordered on a prayer and was happy to find they do. Loading is very easy. I went with the rear-entry version and the padded back brackets make sliding my yaks into place effortless. However, the back bracket pads are made of pretty flexible plastic. No problems yet, but I'm a little worried about long-term durability. The included cinch-straps are excellent. The metal clasp is protected by a thick-rubber sleeve and they generally do an excellent job holding the boats in place. My only "issue" is with the overall build-quality. They've really maximized their use of plastic. Even the locks and keys are made of it. As mentioned above, long-term durability might be an issue. Also, I really think companies should start paring down their use of polymers for the sake of the planet. Overall very happy with them. ***My Rating Criteria*** Build Quality(47.5%) - 3.0 Stars Efficacy(47.5%) - 5.0 Stars Post-Sale Support(0.0%) - n/a Packaging/Presentation(5.0%) - 5.0 Stars WEIGHTED AVERAGE(100.0%) - 4.1 STARS ... show more

  • Great value and strong, but fit to TracRac SR requires a couple of hours of adjustment.
Style: Side Loading
Great value with 4 high quality tie downs, but not a direct fit on a TracRac SR truck bed rack. The bolt was too wide and the plastic section was too thick. The molding seams on the bottom of the 581 cradles need to be ground down and the bolt narrowed. After a coupe of hours of adjustment I'm very pleased with these cradles. Just bought a second set for my wife's kayak. Both now fit on the TracRack SR on an F150. Rhino customer support took a "your on your own" attitude when I contacted them about the fit problem on a competitor's rack made by Thule. Thule bought TracRac. The Thule cradles are $100 a set more and too tall to fit the truck under my deck. Rhino Nautic 581 is the winner. ... show more
