how well will they work on a 12 hour road trip to the beach? should i be worried about loosing my boards or are they reliable during long road trips?

They worked for me on my Prius. The issue would be speed and wind. If you use a bow and stern tie you should be fine. Just make sure you loop the buckles correctly as suggested by instructions.

Hey Colin, allthough I don't travel that far with these soft surf racks, my trips range from 1.5 to 2 hrs. I have never had a problem with the tightness of the boards and not too worried about losing them. The main problem I see is that if it rains, the straps leak water into your car. I would think that on a 12 hr road trip to the beach you will catch some rain, but the boards should be secure for the trip

Yes they will. They work great too! However, they are not soft and are not suitable for transporting surfboards (unless you wrap them with a foam). I did use them this past winter for snowboards and gear though, and they worked great. I definitely recommend these!

They sure will, crisp clean and pretty impressive for how small they are, be sure to run them with a nice amp, and don't forget they have a 20 hour break in period, as all nice speakers do, so don't crank them right away, and set your amp to small speaker size as well, you'll be happy, I am

YES. They're strong enough. I agree with you James. They really don't look up to the job. I've had & used mine now for over a year and I love them. They're TOTALLY reliable. Do yourself a favor James. These will work. At about $ 8.00 a pack - for me that's right on the cusp "acceptable risk" (a little more money than I'd casually risk.) That said - I'm telling you James - they will exceed your expectations. They're dynamite. Get them! You'll be glad you did! If possible, keep me posted. Best of luck! :-)

Definitely. Durable, yes... However, My major problem was that 2 43" boards wouldn't even fit in the bag. So unless your boards are super short or you only have one to travel or both, don't buy it. I sent mine back and I had to pay for the shipping. Kind of a nightmare.

So far they have held up very nicely - longest that I have seen is about 3.5 hrs non-stop. But it depends on what all you have connected to the camera and if you are using the flip out screen or the EVF. ALso, various settings in the camera will have an impact. (i.e. wi-fi on of off, digital zoom etc..)

Yes, they work great. Used them when I went on vaca in hawaii and the Carribean earlier this year. Lasted atleast 3 to 4 hrs max.

I only use them on travel and at the beach. So I can't answer your question regarding daily use. They seem to stay untangled for me.

I would think they would be fine as long as you don't do any serious hauling. They are equivalent to a load range C. I pull a small travel trailer and a boat with mine and they have worked just fine.

They should be perfectly fine for a very long time. Ive the intact strips running on a 11-14.3 volt system and they work just fine in that range. Ive only had issues with one strip because of a crack in the rubber shell letting water into it

five to six hours is the best I've gotten from them. If your getting 4.5 hours of use out of them you're doing ok. I've had 2 sets and they both got about 5 to 6 hours of use before I had to plug them in. Bob

yes they work well on the ocean we took our to Fiji and two heavy males were on them they worked well - obviously not on rough coral but on a sandy ocean they are a lot of fun!!!! Enjoy!!

I game with them. When playing a real good game I can't put down, these ear phones can feel unconformable after about 6 hours. That's not too bad. They won't injure your ears after wearing them that long. You would be good to go the next day for another 6 hours. If I was taking a trip to Asia, or Australia or Africa, where I would basically have them on for 12 - 24 hours, then you might want to look else where.

I cannot answer that fully. I have not left them on long enough for them to lose charge. I have the manual at home. So I would guestimate 15 hrs? Maybe more, maybe less. Best bet is the manual, what it says, but if you don'g actively correct them for a long period I would think it would hold charge a little longer

Not sure pal nothing lasts forever but if u protect them maybe they will serve your purpose good luck!They are great speakers and i left them outside all year hot and humid cold and snowy 5' feet still works great with no show of wear.
