If you have the flush mounted rails that run front to back on your 2015 Subaru Outback, then I recommend the following roof rack:
Yakima CoreBar Crossbars - 50" Long # Y00421
SkyLine Towers # Y53TR
Landing Pad 15 # Y00241
Lock Cores # Y07204

If you have the raised side rails, then I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex StealthBar Roof Rack # JA7975.

Both of these options are rated for up to 165 lbs and will work well with the Malone SeaWing Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # MPG107MD. You may also want to consider the Stinger Load Assist for Malone SeaWing Kayak Carrier # MPG350 for easier loading onto your SeaWing Carrier.

Yes, the 165lb rating for the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack #MPG215 is the dynamic(driving) capacity for these. Since the tent weighs 165lbs and the roof rack is 10 you are still just under the 176lb capacity of the roof rails on your 2019 Subaru…
