Roof Rack Recommendation For 2009 Subaru Outback Wagon
Question:
Hello, I am looking for the best crossbars for my roof rack for multiple racks kayak, bike, ski rack. I dont know much about them and this is my first foray into all these racks. I dont want to spend a fortune but want quality that will last. Any ideas?

Expert Reply:
I recommend a Thule rack for your 2009 Subaru Outback Wagon. The rack consists of Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Silver - 47" Long, part # TH711200, the Evo Raised Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars - Factory Raised Rails - Qty 4, part # TH710401, and the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders - Qty 4, part # TH450400. The Thule rack is not the most economical choice, but if you want a rack that will last the Thule rack will definitely fit that bill. The fit and finish of the Thule is better than the other available options. This Thule rack is rated to carry up to 150lbs on your Subaru Outback. The rack can lock to the vehicle. The WingBar Evo Crossbars are aerodynamic to reduce noise and also to help with fuel efficiency. These bars can also work with accessories that attach via a channel or those accessories that clamp the crossbars. You will be able to use this rack with kayaks, bikes, skis, etc.
I have included product description links and video review links below.
