Editorial Review:
Carry your kayak with or without a roof rack. A universal solution for wider or fatter hulled boats. Easily attaches to Yakima, Thule or factory rack bars.
This kit solved a problem that many cars with sunroofs (like my Saturn Vue) have with standard rack compatibility.
Be aware that Seattle Sports Co. has these kits in many sizes to suit almost any kayak, and that a narrow touring/racing kayak would roll a bit with this kit.
The carrying case keeps things neat and allows me to stow this in the back of the SUV. Installation takes about 10 minutes the first time and removal is quick. The contact points are rubberized and the strap grabs have extra webbing to protect the paint.
One more advantage of this is the couple of miles per gallon you save not having a rack on top when doing your everyday commuting. If you have standard roof rails, the grooves in the saddles will fit onto the rails which will save a couple of steps.
Quality seems very good after about a dozen uses.
Since returning home, the saddle system has provided a great way for me to haul my boat on top of my VW without a rack system.
I highly recommend this product.

Useful And Portable
The Seattle Sports Co. saddle carriers are a very good alternative to traditional racks for transporting kayaks and canoes. The 22" wide kit featured here is suitable for wide kayaks (tandems) and broad beam canoes.

Easy to use Kayak saddle system.
I bought this system for a trip out west where I anticipated renting a kayak. The outfitter didn't supply a way to haul the boat so this was an economical solution for me. The pads fit a wide boat very well, and the straps are easy to use, and of great quality.
