Thule's Set-to-Go Kayak Saddles

Thule's Set-to-Go Kayak Saddles
    Looking for kayak saddles that gently cradle the hull, but hold it in place with an iron grip? Look no further than the Thule 878xt Set-To-Go Roof Rack Kayak Saddles. The cradles feature a soft, rubbery gripping surface for a strong, stable hold and maximum hull protection. Set-to-Go saddles have three pivot point per saddle to allow the gripping surface to conform to your kayak's hull with ease. Set-to-Go saddles are sold in pairs, so you'll need to pick up  two pairs for your kayak. Or you could also put a set Thule's 875xt HydroGlide Kayak Saddles in back for easier loading and unloading, since the Set-to-Go saddles don't lend themselves to sliding a kayak in from the back that well.
    Each pair of Set-to-Go saddles includes a load strap with padded buckle, a ratcheting bow/stern tiedown, and all the mounting hardware. They fit quite nicely on square bars, round bars, Thule's aero bars, and many factory installed roof racks. Thule's Set-to-Go saddles are rated to carry kayaks measuring up to 36" wide and weighing up to 75 pounds. (Of course, if your rack is rated for less than 75 pounds, don't exceed that lower weight rating.)
