Malone Foldaway-5™ Multi-Rack Folding 1 or 2 Kayak, SUP, Canoe Carrier, Black (MPG125)

This is a very sturdy mount worked well with my inno racks and got it up relatively quick. It comes with straps and everything you need to put your kayak on ready to go

There’s j bars are great. They seem very sturdy and mounting is simple. There are a lot of bolts to screw, so it takes a bit of time to mount but it stays secured on roof rack

Overall I very much like this product, it holds my kayaks in place very well when we go and so far I do not regret this purchase. Since I can fold it down I never take it off my car unless I absolutely have too. I do agree with the other reviewer that assembly was a bit difficult because some holes were not lined up but I was able to get it together, so no biggy. If I could say one thing I wish it had is to sets of tie-down guides if that whats they are called. Personally I don't think you will regret it if you buy it!

I saved some money by ordering the double kayak carrier. I wish I would have spent a little bit more and got 2 separate sets because this works best in the middle of the car but then it's hard to reach. If I move it toward the side of the car, it's a short reach on that side, but way too far from the other side. This is just preference I guess and no fault of the item itself. It was easy to install, much cheaper than Thule or Yakima and has held our 12ft kayaks without issue.

I’ve had this for 2 years now and it is fantastic! It holds 1-2 kayaks and is very easy to install and use!

We loaded our two Lifetime Tahoma kayaks in the upright position and securely cruised down the highways at speeds of 70-75 mph with no problems. I like that the frame is built out of steel and that the tie downs go through the frame and around the roof racks. Great, sturdy design.

I bought this to carry two kayaks and it does not really work well for this. To carry two, the back support needs to be vertical rather than tilted at an angle as you would do with a single kayak J bar rack. This means the kayak really needs to held by hand while strapping it in or it can fall over toward you. This makes it really hard to load. The other issue is that with the rack in the center of the roof, the distance from the edge of the car to the rack is too far to manage the process. Basically we found it required two people and a lot of effort to load. For a long distance trip where you load and unload once, it would be fine and take up less roof space than two J bar racks, if you still want the fold down option. For us, living a mile from the water, where we load and unload daily, it was two much effort. If you carry only one kayak and want the fold down, this will be a good choice. The plastic clamp to adjust the tilt of the back support works well but if you put the strap on the that tilting support you are relying on that plastic to hold the kayak down. I would not trust that so you have to bring the strap all the way down to the load bar, which also makes it more difficult to manage. With a non tilting/folding J rack, there is no plastic so you can wrap the strap around the metal support and it is easier to load, but of course it does not fold down. Summary - If you want to carry two kayaks and load/unload often, and want the fold down option, you really need two sets of these, one mounted on each end of the load bars, with the support set at an angle (like a non tilting J rack). You will still need to put the strap around the load bar, but otherwise it is a nice system for that application. For a single kayak with fold down, it is pretty good.

Had it for several months now. Works great hauling 2 Kayaks. Easy to install. We put it on a Rav4, you do need roof rails fyi no matter what vehicle you put it on. Recommend removing the J-Rack before going to a carwash.

Easy to put on and they hold on decently would recommend. Truly are universal put them on 2 different vehicles and both times it held on good and didn’t move around

Great and held up so nice.

Rien à redire. Top!
