EZ Kayak Loading: Our Review of Suspenz V-Rack Carrier
EZ Kayak Loading: Our Review of Suspenz V-Rack Carrier
We recently got our hands on the Suspenz Kayak Roof Rack with Tie Down Straps (44-0166), and it's definitely changed our kayaking routine. The EZ Roller V-Rack design makes loading our kayaks onto the car significantly easier than traditional carriers. What impressed us most was how the rollers allow us to slide our kayak up without awkward lifting or straining.
The included tie-down straps proved sturdy and reliable during our testing, even on windier drives along the coast. Installation was straightforward, taking us about 30 minutes without any specialized tools. We particularly appreciated the powder-coated steel construction, which feels like it will withstand seasons of salt water exposure.
For anyone tired of struggling with kayak loading or concerned about potential roof damage, we found this V-Rack system to be a worthwhile investment that delivers on its "EZ" promise.

We Test the Yakima BigCatch: A Fishing Kayak's Best Friend
After spending several weekends on various lakes and rivers, we can confidently say the Yakima BigCatch saddles are game-changers for serious kayak anglers. These robust carriers mounted easily on our StreamLine roof rack system, providing rock-solid support for our fishing kayaks during transport.
What impressed us most was the versatility-we tested them with both standard fishing kayaks and heavier models loaded with gear, and the BigCatch handled everything with remarkable stability. The padding system protects your boat's hull while the tie-down points ensure everything stays secure even on bumpy backroads.
Installation took us under 30 minutes, and the tool-free adjustment system means we can quickly adapt when switching between different kayaks. For anglers who frequently transport their fishing kayaks, these saddles offer excellent value and peace of mind that your prized vessel will arrive safely at your fishing destination.
