  • A flotilla on your roof! This is the best multi-Kayak carrier on the market!
After some extensive comparisons, I can tell you that if your goal is to maximize roof rack space and carry as much as possible safely, the nautic stack is where it's at. The design features the same simple carriage bolts + under-rack plates as other competitors, but the footprint (width) on the rack is only ~4 inches, allowing you to maximize space. Additionally, because it allows the boats to rest on their side directly on your racks, it does not add unnecessary height. Finally, the simple loop design at the top is the easiest for threading straps. This design allows us to put a hardshell carrier and 2 kayaks easily, or 2 kayaks and a bike carriers, or a wide canoe and 2 kayaks, or 4 kayaks if we needed to. The versatility is awesome. Compared to the nautic stack, which can accommodate up to 4 kayaks on their sides, J style carriers are expensive and you will have trouble getting more than two boats on. Other stackers take up more space on the bar (boo) or unnecessarily raise your boats even higher up. A final added bonus is the light weight (8 pounds for 2) of this set. ... show more

  • Amazing system
I had previously been using 2 sets of j hooks but got another kayak. With the J hooks I was having issues with a lot of wind movement and also had one incident where I almost lost a kayak when the straps were tied wrong. I can easily put up 4 kayaks with these and things are SOLID. Nothing is going to shake around. I even did one canoe on one side and 2 kayaks on the other. Really great system. ... show more

  • Didn't fit.
Came quick, but I learned that Rhino prodcuts don't fit on Thune products the hard way. But very easy to return. so I'm happy with the transaction, and now wiser in the choices I'll make.

  • I own 4 sets, but they could be a lot better.
I'm a semi-pro kayaker so I use and abuse these stackers 6 months a year. I keep choosing them for the sleek design, but they should be taller. Because these are shorter than most kayaks are wide, kayaks tend to kick-out towards the side of the car if there is any free space on the bar. This will continue until either the strap can not travel further, or the kayak flips onto its side. Simply making these a few inches taller would make these the best on the market. Whitewater kayaks have hard points that I can use to secure the boats so they don't fly off, but that is not the norm. These could be dangerous under the wrong circumstances. ... show more

  • Wish I had these years ago!
These are the 3rd pair of kayak carriers I have owned and they will be the last. They installed very easily on 2 separate cars that I have used to transport my kayaks. We took 4 kayaks on a 8hour road trip (each way) and not once did the kayaks move or even shake. We have also transported just 2 kayaks as well on shorter trips and can't believe each time how fast we get them loaded and secured. Every time we stop anywhere we are asked about the racking system and where we found it. We have yet to steer anyone away from getting these as they really are a great product at a great price. ... show more

  • Poor customer service
The add for the racks stated that buckle protectors are included with the straps and they were not. After directly contacting the manufacturer over 2 weeks ago I still have no response other than stock questions like "was the box damaged? Send us pictures." All they had to do was simply send me the missing parts , but they don't even acknowledge my requests. The racks themselves were bomber and would've been an awesome setup, but if this is their idea of customer service I'm returning the item. ... show more
