I recently purchased the Thule Hull a port pro. I've transported our kayaks 3 times with it so far. It was relatively easy to learn how the whole thing functions. The feature I like the best about it is the fact that it folds down while not in use. I felt like the kayaks were secured well between the J hook itself, and the support straps. I recommend this product.

Purchased this product in 2005. It was my first experience both with kayaks and kayak carriers. At first was pretty pleased. With time I found this product less than satisfactory. The tightening mechanism on these is pretty hokey. In today's manufacturing environment I expect good design especially on a fairly expensive product. The tighteners feel like off the shelf equipment. They take a fair amount of time to put on and off. As there is no locking mechanism this happens twice on every outing. Second, over time they these racks are feeling pretty wobbly. Third, the tightening mechanism destroyed the factory racks on my Forester. I also own a Thule hitch bike rack. I am disappointed there as well. Thule uses lots of metal and heavy parts but truly seems to be lacking in design.

The rack works great. I can load and secure two kayaks in under 10 min. I used to take 40 min. I would recommend them.
The only issue was with installation. At one point I hit a problem and had to search the web for an answer. I found it in a forum on the Thule web site. That issue doubled the installation time. A troubleshooting section in the installation guide would have been nice.

the kayak carriers were so easy to install on top of my car and place the kayaks in it was wonderful. with the tie straps they tied off well and rode great . it made the unloading of the kayaks so easy once we arrived at the lake.
I would highly recomend them for anyone contemplating moving kayaks from one place to another. they rode very secure and placement and removal was a breeze.

these things work great. i had the foam block and strap kit before this and that was an increadible pain and it also didn't keep the kayak up off of my roof and scratched it all up. it only takes a few minutes to put these on and load my kayak. my only complaint, and it is a small one, is that the thumb screws are a little on the small side. i have to agree with the reviewer that said about the clamp attachment or at least a bigger thumb screw. other than that this is a great product. it also fit onto my yakima roof rack with no problem.
