Thule's Top Deck Kayak Saddles

Thule's Top Deck Kayak Saddles
    If you need a complete kayak rack to get your boat to and from the water this summer, but you don't want to break the bank, take a look at Thule's 881 Top Deck Kayak Saddles. Thule's Top Deck Saddles work with most factory installed roof racks, Thule and Yakima roof racks, and the Thule Xsporter pickup truck rack. They're super easy to install, and they'll hold just about any kayak up to 75 pounds in weight and up to 36" wide. Top Deck saddles cradle most hull types quite well, but the cradles' angles are not adjustable, so they aren't recommended for kayaks with highly curved bottoms or lightweight, easily deformed hulls. The included load straps, bow/stern tiedown ropes, and integrated rubber padding on the saddles themselves ensure your kayak stays in place, whether you're going across town or across country.
