HEYTRIP Roof Rack Pads 30" Aero Crossbar Pads for Kayak/Surfboard/SUP/Canoe with 15FT Tie-Down Straps and Storage Bag

Works great! on Subaru Outback. Easy to install and easy to strap your SUPs on! Very sturdy, has both a strong velcro and plastic buckles. We have two inflatable SUPs and purchased the longer tie down as recommended. It is super long but easy enough to tie down the extra at the end. Blowing up the boards before heading down to the lake was a game changer. Not only did it save time down at the water, but we didn't have to spoil the quiet atmosphere with our pump down there! Great addition to our adventure gear!

Works perfectly

I was looking for some secure pads for our roof rack and I like how these do not rotate and are firm in place with the clips as the velcro alone may not be strong enough. I like the long 30 inch length as it actually fits the width of my paddleboard. The pads actually make the board fit more snug against the roof rails which I like and was wanting. My only complaint was I didn't feel the straps were quite tight enough to keep both my boards from moving and I was nervous about having them shift while on the freeway so I added one ratchet strap and was good to go. Two hours later I checked and they didn't move an inch! 5 stars for the pads, 4 stars due to the straps. Still a quality product that I would recommend.

These are excellent tie down straps for my solo kayak on my roof rack. The pads are a good size and easily attach to my cross bars, and have plenty of padding to support my kayak. The straps seem durable and are long enough to properly secure the kayak to the roof rack. Bonus points for not being ratchet tie downs, as I’ve been told these can potentially damage your kayak. The bow and stern tie downs seemed sufficient for securing the kayak, as well. I also liked the bag to properly store everything when not being used. I’ve put a lot of miles on my Bronco with my Eddyline kayak on top, and I’ve had zero issues with the HeyTrip roof rack system.

This is a great kit and included everything you need to haul a kayak. The problem is that mine was delivered defective. The roof pads have loop velcro on both sides, so they do not secure properly. The hook side is not there. Of course I discovered this the day I had to use them! We made it work and put an extra strap around it to hold it tightly to the rack.

At this price point, I was worried about the ease of installation and the overall quality. We have two paddle boards we strap to the top, and I wasn't buying the claim that it could carry both - boy was I wrong. Highly recommend this product - don't think you can beat it for the price, especially with a lot of expensive competitors out there. Don't skip over this one to pay for the brand names; this does the trick without the fuss of paying extra for a name brand.

Bought this for hauling my kayak on my roof. I wanted the cushions because I was hoping it would lift my boat up a little to clear my fin antenna on the roof of my car. These cushions did help raise it up a bit but I mostly liked how it made my kayak fit a little more securely on the roof rack. Maybe eliminated some plastic on plastic wiggle. They’re mostly secured with Velcro and I wasn’t super thrilled with how it didn’t seem to wrap around and close in an appealing manner. I think I’ll use Velcro straps of my own to wrap around it in places that appear to sag where there’s no Velcro present on the cushion. I’m not a huge fan of the main straps. They’re okay. But I supplemented them with some more heavy duty straps for piece of mind. The front hull straps were nice. I used them and the anchors shut in my hood just fine. But if your boat is strapped down properly, these should never be necessary. I used them as a warning ties. If I saw tension in them, I knew something not good was happening on my roof. I can’t vouch for durability yet. I’ve only used them a handful of times and I take the cushions off and store them when I’m not hauling my boat. But I don’t see them wearing out quickly. It’s a pretty durable and handy package for the money.

Absolutely terrible. Strap system impossible to tighten, pads moved and wobbled consistently even at low speeds. Impossible to cinch the straps down and get them tucked in so that they would stay in place. Loose straps constantly thrumming on the roof, would have damaged the paint on my car roof if they had left in place. Fabric faded significantly in less than 3 months of use. Did not stay in place while loading the kayak. Maybe they fit other aerobars, but they did not work well at all on my 2021 Bronco.
