The added socks make pushing the kayak forward much easier. The saddles flex to fit the hull shape of my kayak while absorbing some of the pressure from the tie downs/straps that hold the kayak on the roof.There are a couple of cons about this product though:-Manufacturer packaging is basically thrown in a box. Not a big deal, but one of the saddles arrived slightly scuffed, which is only a cosmetic thing.-The flat straps that come with the Saddle Up Pro werent long enough to strap down my wide kayak when using the method that's described in the included Malone instructions. I had to purchase a set of 16' straps.-The bow and stern tie-downs get the job done, but leave something to be desired. They are basically just a rope with a hook tied on the end. I have upgraded these to ratcheting tie-downs. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well (for some kayaks) *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on May 3, 2019* The overall quality of this rack system is good. All the parts feel solid and it clamped to my factory Subaru cross bars nice and securely. The cloth covers for the rear saddles make sliding your kayak up easy and the straps, guylines and hooks are good quality. I used this product when I picked up my new fishing kayak and drove 90 miles with it home.Now to the "for some kayaks" part. The saddles pivot and fold in or out to adjust to various kayak hull diameters. For a traditional kayak or canoe hull this would work really well and automatically center the boat in the saddles. However I have a Wilderness Systems Radar 135 fishing kayak. The hull is a fairly complex shape with the sides being almost square and continuing underneath into a pontoon section on both sides and a fairly flat bottom in the middle. The prow is pointed like a normal, but flattens out after about 2 feet. All these weird shapes combine to make it difficult to center the boat on the saddles and trying to adjust the boat once on the saddles is difficult. Will be looking for an alternative rack.It's a good product, unfortunately it just won't work very well for the type of kayak I have. Anybody in the market for a used once kayak rack? :P ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fits 2004 4Runner and Jackson Big Tuna (almost) *by R***W on Reviewed in the United States πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ on September 15, 2015* UPDATE: I discovered I was using the tie down straps incorrectly. They are supposed to go across to top of the kayak, under the cross racks, back across the top, under the other side cross rack and then buckle. I'd like to be able to do that, and the Malone instructions show that, but the straps are about a foot too short. I had to use only one strap across, then go under the Big Tuna (wrapping around the cross member to prevent flapping in the breeze) and then buckle. It's pretty secure but I'd like to have that double strap to be extra secure. I've written Malone, I'm taking a star back for now.Never carried a kayak or anything else on the roof of my 2004 4Runner. I'm short so I had to use a step stool to reach everything but I was able to put the rack on the OEM cross members and carry a 14' Jackson Big Tuna home, a 45 mile trip over back roads and Interstates. The kayak fit right in the saddles with the racks installed at the ends of the cross members. The Big Tuna is 35.5" wide and needs all the width. We put the nose in the back saddle, pushed it forward and let it settle on the front racks. No complaints and I recommend for the 2004 4Runner carrying a Jackson Big Tuna kayak. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hu/products/1554282-saddle-up-pro-universal-car-rack-kayak-carrier-set-4](https://www.desertcart.hu/products/1554282-saddle-up-pro-universal-car-rack-kayak-carrier-set-4) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hungary* *Store origin: HU* *Last updated: 2026-11-14*
