After some extensive comparisons, I can tell you that if your goal is to maximize roof rack space and carry as much as possible safely, the nautic stack is where it's at. The design features the same simple carriage bolts + under-rack plates as other competitors, but the footprint (width) on the rack is only ~4 inches, allowing you to maximize space. Additionally, because it allows the boats to rest on their side directly on your racks, it does not add unnecessary height. Finally, the simple loop design at the top is the easiest for threading straps. This design allows us to put a hardshell carrier and 2 kayaks easily, or 2 kayaks and a bike carriers, or a wide canoe and 2 kayaks, or 4 kayaks if we needed to. The versatility is awesome. Compared to the nautic stack, which can accommodate up to 4 kayaks on their sides, J style carriers are expensive and you will have trouble getting more than two boats on. Other stackers take up more space on the bar (boo) or unnecessarily raise your boats even higher up. A final added bonus is the light weight (8 pounds for 2) of this set.

If only I had purchased this rack first. This is your answer to carrying more than 2 kayaks on a car. I drive a Subaru Crosstrek and these racks will hold at least three (probably four) kayaks easily. Sturdy and very easy to use as well. No fuss, all business.

These are the 3rd pair of kayak carriers I have owned and they will be the last. They installed very easily on 2 separate cars that I have used to transport my kayaks. We took 4 kayaks on a 8hour road trip (each way) and not once did the kayaks move or even shake. We have also transported just 2 kayaks as well on shorter trips and can't believe each time how fast we get them loaded and secured. Every time we stop anywhere we are asked about the racking system and where we found it. We have yet to steer anyone away from getting these as they really are a great product at a great price.

This stacker was easy to install and held 3 kayaks with no problem. The kayaks pictured include one tandem and 2 singles. The straps were easy to use and held securely.

Just what we were looking for to hook four kayaks onto our Scion. Well made!

Works great. Easy to attach to our suburban roof. have used several times, and is secure. recommend.

We have 5 people in our family and we got all 5 kayaks on the roof with this. Very impressed.

Easy install and use. Can fit all 4 of our kayaks on our Dodge Journey no problem!

Works well for us when taking our kayaks on trips. So much better than hauling a trailer. I would recommend this to anyone.

I’ve hauled a 13’ tandem over 6000 miles with this rack. I tend to drive fast on long road trips and this thing holds fine going 80mph. It folds down so nicely when not in use that I just keep it on the roof.
