There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
If the track was 18” longer you would save a lot of hassle, especially for those with taller vehicles.
Either way, I'll keep it as I have shoulder issues and a new car that I'm not really ready to scratch up loading and unloading the kayaks.
I have been kayaking for many years, but my boats are not getting any lighter. With these XLs I can EASILY load my 60+ pound rotomolded kayaks quickly and without help. The XLs extend from roof to the ground and standoff at an angle from the car. That angle means the boats clear the car's side-view mirrors, and it is much easier to raise and lower the boats.
I am a "mature" paddler, over 70 years old. Frankly it was getting harder for me to load and unload the boats alone. Not any longer!
I was so delighted I ordered a second set for my car in Massachusetts.
And recently I needed a replacement part. Product Support was OUTSTANDING.
I could not be happier with my Malone products!
