Can I attach and transport 2 on person kayaks if I purchase 2 carriers? Will they fit on the Subaru roof rack?

2012 Impreza hatchback owner here. I have the Subaru crossbars, and you need to buy the clamps for each carrier. You can definitely put two sets of carriers on the roof racks of that car. Each carrier only takes up between about a third to half of the roof. The only thing to check would be weight limit, but that should be fine too. This is the crossbars/carrier/clamps with a 17ft kayak: http://i.imgur.com/cvKkdBS.jpg

Hi Joe - you would definitely need to have aftermarket crossbars installed to accommodate the widths of both of these kayaks on the carrier. You may also need to upsize the bars from what is recommended. Also, please be sure to be attentive to the weight limits of the vehicle, as each of those kayaks are quite heavy.

Well, you sure can attach this rack to your truck. As far as hauling 4 kayaks, I'm not sure because of how much room is needed for these. In my opinion you shouldn't have any problem hauling them.

Hi Kim, I have a Subaru legacy. It did NOT originally have a roof rack/ crossbars, so I had Subaru install Subaru made crossbars. Once i had Crossbars I only needed this saddle/ kayak rack. They are adjustable to the fit the Crossbars you have, and once on you can pop the kayak right on top! Best of luck and happy kayaking!-Amy

The kayak carriers can be easily individually removed. They are stock carriers that attach to a roof rack type crossbar on the trailer with hand tightened lock nuts.

I don't see why not. I would imagine the Folding Downloader kayak holder would fit on a Malone universal roof rack. One pair of kayak holders to one kayak. If you're not convinced with my answer. Please call Malone to double check. I hope I answer your question.

Hi,I carried an aluminum canoe on my 5 door golf using this rack once, so I think your kayak would be just fine. You'd need straps to tie down to the frame of your car though, obviously. This rack pretty much just serves as an offset so the kayak isn't riding right on the roof. I think if you wanted to secure the kayak without using rope etc. you'd have to find some special connection in addition to this rack.

I carry 2 kayaks (scupper pros) on mine Prius. The customer service from these guys is the best I have ever experienced. You can take the rack on and off your car in minutes and use it on any vehicle. It is a home run IMO

Heather. Our car already had horizontal roof racks but we had to buy vertical racks to attach this kayak carrier. Hope this helps.

If you have a roof rack you should be ok. When you strap the kayak down these buffers really compress, so the front and back of the kayak might bang on the front and back of the roof while driving if you don't have a rack, especially over bumps. In any case, you will need more straps than the ones that come with this setup.

I attached my kayak carriers onto it with no problem. They are not Honda racks. I don't know if this helps you or not. They are simply 2 bars that go across the top of the car.

I can carry two kayaks with my two Malone sets on my Grand Cherokee so I woul think you'd be fine with your xterra. These racks are still the best I've seen! I can load my kayak by myself.

We used ours on a jeep patriot with one kayak on either side. For reference, we had recreational old town kayaks. It will really depend on how wide your van is - we didn't see how 4 could fit on the jeep - as the kayaks are on their sides when placed on the roof. with extra long tie downs, it supposedly can be done. But I'd try to measure first from the middle of your van to the edge and see how that compares to the width of two kayaks.

Not sure my factory aero bars would only work to haul one kayak, so I got the Malone bars tookstock off and can use two sets . If that helps you. My problem was could not fold rack s compleatly open.

They are much easier. I use them on my Jeep Commander, which is a big vehicle. I can fit both my kayaks on the Jeep. I don't think you could on your Outback. You will need to measure the width on your kayaks to see if both will fit on top of the Outback side by side. If they can fit on the top you would be good to go and you will love the ease of using this product.

Yes. It's two "pairs" so you can load two kayaks (one from each side of the car).
