The SeaWing V-Cradle Kayak Carrier from Malone

    The Malone SeaWing V-Cradle Kayak Carrier is a great way to carry your kayaks on a factory installed rack. Not that it doesn't work perfectly well on Thule or Yakima crossbars (it does!), but it's really great on factory racks. The SeaWing's centrally located universal mounting hardware allows you to mount these kayak cradles as far to the side as possible, you can even let the cradle extend past the edges of your roof. On many factory racks this lets you carry two boats flat at the same time, something most other kayak saddles can only accomplish with longer aftermarket crossbars . The Malone SeaWing was designed to withstand Maine's punishing winds and saltwater, and it's sturdy polycabonate construction and corrosion-resistant mounting hardware ensure you'll be able to depend on the SeaWing for many years to come. The rubber insets in the SeaWing's cradles ensure a frim grip on your kayak's hull, and their V-shape design fits most hull types q

The Helium Lightweight Aluminum Hitch Mounted Bicycle Rack from Thule

    Thule's new Helium Lightweight Aluminum Hitch Mounted Bicycle Racks are the most impressive new products that Thule has rolled out this year. They sport an incredibly sleek look, with an eye catching all-aluminum design. With such a slim profile you might think the Helium is a lightweight rack, and it does weigh about 1/3 less than a standard steel-frame bicycle rack . But don't let its good looks fool you. The Helium is every bit as tough as a steel-frame rack, and its aluminum frame can't rust!     As I'm sure you already know, looks aren't everything. The Helium wouldn't be much of a hitch rack if all it did was look good. With fully integrated locking security, Thule's premium T3 bike cradles, and the best anti-rattle hitch mechanism in its class, the Helium offers much more than just bike rack bragging rights. Thule's T3 cradles with included No-Sway Cages hold your bikes gently but firmly in place and help eliminate sway even on rough road
