Kayak owners, this Malone Foldaway J 2-pack is the solution to all your transportation headaches! These carriers are specifically designed to safely carry your recreational or touring kayaks on their side on your roof rack. The quick-release fold-down feature is brilliant - when you're not using them, they fold down to just 3.5 inches high for better gas mileage and low clearance situations. Made from corrosion-resistant coated steel with oversized padding that protects your kayak from scratches and damage. The universal mounting system is awesome - it fits pretty much any roof rack bars whether they're round, square, oval, or even most factory systems. The dual mount locations eliminate that annoying side-to-side movement that cheaper carriers have. Each carrier can handle up to 75 pounds, which covers most recreational kayaks. Included are cam-style load straps and safety tie-downs to keep everything secure during transport. When deployed, they extend to 14 inches, giving you plenty of support for your kayak. At 10 pounds each, they're sturdy without being overly heavy. Malone backs these with a lifetime limited warranty because they're built to last through seasons of adventures. If you're tired of struggling to get your kayak to the water, these carriers make the whole process so much easier and safer!
