The Thule Top Deck Kayak Saddle with Tie Downs is an efficient, quick-to-install, and fairly-priced option that works on most vehicles. However, for those who want a long-lasting and high-quality saddle, this would not be the best choice. The lack of durability, cheaper materials, absence of rubber bumpers, and reduced adjustability could make this not a good option for those who frequently transport their kayak.
