Tirol Soft Roof Rack 2 Pairs Kayak roof Rack Pads Load132lb Foldable Oxford Universal Luggage Top Roof Rack Cargo Carrie for Kayak Canoe & SUP Racksr

This is a great product! So easy to install yourself. I did in like 5 minutes. I have a Jeep Wrangler unlimited. And it fit the roof perfectly. The long straps to tie down are great. I tied down 2 kayaks on one trip. And a inflatable boat on another. They also pack up nice and easy for storage.

This inflatable rack was very easy to use. Simply blow up the unit and strap it to the car through the doors. It comes with a bow and stern line to further secure your load. I haven't tried it on a long trip yet, but for around town , it works just fine. I paired it with a roller unit and can roll the kayak up the back of the car and onto the inflated units.Works well with a car with a sunroof.

Great product.. just gets old putting it on everytime.. because you can't leave it on if you live in an area with rain... all areas at some point.. it will leak in the car

I looked long and hard for the right cargo rack and ended up with this one. It wasn't the very cheapest but I liked it because of the big rings along both pads that allow me securely tighten down items with different widths. It came with two extra straps for doing this and I have no concerns about my kayak on top of the car as I drive down the highway. I also liked this product because the pads looked wider than most of the others I was looking at. I have also used the pads to haul lumber from the hardware store.The self-inflating pads actually work really well, in fact, the instructions say they would take a few minutes to inflate but it only takes a few seconds. Putting the pads away is fairly simple too, you just open the valve and the air gets pushed out as you roll it up.Overall, I thought this was a very good buy except for one simple thing. I have a 2015 Ford Escape and the straps that go through the car to hold the pads down are only barely long enough to reach the buckle on the other side. I had to use pliers to get a grip on the end of the strap to pull it through the buckle. If the manufacturer just spent an extra penny or two to make the straps a little longer, I would have given it 5 stars. As it is, I don't think the straps are long enough for anything bigger than a small SUV like mine.Suggestions: Make sure your car is clean on top to keep the pad from rubbing dirt into the paint of your car and scratching it. Also, I read on another review that if you twist the straps, it will minimize the flapping noise when you drive at higher speeds.

I am absolutely in love with the "Inflatable Roof Rack". This is Litterally one of the best products I've bought and was delivered earlier than what was expected. The price was completely affordable and inexpensive. I love that it's easy to set up and put away, its compact for storage space, and it even has a cool feature to "self inflate" which blew my mind. I'll definitely be buying another one for my partner so we can go kayaking together.

Easy to use, my kayak left dents along the roof of my car where it sat on these. Any kind of temperature change will cause these to not work properly and they leak air. Short term solution maybe, but dont expect these to last.

I would order again if I needed to but I think these will last. Easy to put on held the kayak in place just fine

The only reason I’m not giving these 1 Star is because even without air in them they still protect my roof- slightly.I used these roof “racks” twice so far on my 2017 Acura TL. Once to carry my ocean kayak and once to carry my canoe. After using them to carry my kayak, one of the two “racks” popped a hole near where one of the multiple D-rings come through the rack. I suspect the plastic-y rubber air sac got pinched between the kayak and the metal ring when I tightened the kayak down. It was still usable, despite the fact that it no longer held air, as it still provided protection to my roof. The remaining “good”/undamaged rack popped a hole in the exact same place as the first one after carrying my canoe on a second trip.It should also be noted that I personally do not feel strapping a boat directly to the rings provided on these racks is safe in any way. I am a stickler for rooftop carrying safety, and there is no way you can safely transport a kayak or canoe by only using the strapping provided and only attaching the boat to the rings on these racks. Both times I carried boats with these racks I used ratchets and secured the boats to my car by strapping the boats with straps through the car and through both doors and ratcheting them tight.Amazon is replacing my damaged set, and sending me a new set. I plan to try and find a way to prevent the rings from pinching. Possibly removing the rings entirely from their holes, and just laying the air sack racks over them. We’ll see if that works and prevents holes. I have my doubts though.The one positive regarding this product is that is spans almost the entire width of my roof. That was the only reason I purchased this product to begin with. I searched high and low for another product that was as wide and could not find one anywhere!Lastly, they claim you can fill these with air by blowing into them with your mouth. That is not really true. Sure, you can quickly inflate them that way, but you can not get them completely filled as it is impossible to screw the valve shut and lock in your last breath before it gets automatically pushed out of the air sack. I found I could never get as much air in them as I wanted to.
