You have probably noticed the frequency of J-Cradle style roof racks appearing in this guide – and rightfully so.
They are proving to be reliable, versatile, and, most importantly, suits every budget.. Vault Cargo’s kayak roof rack is exactly that – it has all the essential and non-essential features you would expect from a high-quality tool.
It is made from the heavy-duty aluminum that is further equipped with soft, foam-lined bars for additional protection. The risk of corrosion is minimized thanks to the manufacturer’s decision to coat it with a first-rate material.
The racks can be folded down when not in use, which means you can keep them on your vehicle’s roof all year long. The two adjustable lashing straps are included in the packaging, thus eliminating the need for you to make separate purchases.
Pro tip: In case your car doesn’t have crossbars, check out Vault Cargo’s Universal Roof Rack crossbars model – you can save 10% on the combo.
