I love this kayak carrier. It is simple to use and I love that when you are done you can just tuck it away in your trunk until you are ready to use it again. Makes it easy to let someone borrow your kayak also.
Proseconomical and works well, easy to put on or off
The carrier worked well for me. After I left the store I travelled 57 mi at 60 mph and got home ok with the kayak still very secured. I did not have a cover on and if it has rained I would have had water in it since the kayak is right side up. A secured cockpit cover will solve the problem in case of rain.
I bought this 2 weeks ago, when I received my first kayak as a gift. I had no idea how to use or what to do, but this product is super easy to use and convenient to store. I love how everything fits back into its own small bag. LLBean has great quality products and I know if I ever need to return they will take care of it immediately, I love llbean and will be back for more!
This carrier works great. Fits over the wide car-top carrier rails on my Toyota Sienna. I did as another reviewer did and put a blanket on the back of my van to protect it as I slid the kayak into place. The only down side is that the kayak sits right-side-up and if it rains, it will fill with water. I need to get a cover for my kayak which will make it harder to lift because if the cock-pit is covered, there is no place to grab. I'm working on the dilemma. Still, the price is right and it's an easy-to-use carrier!
