The roof rack I recommend for your 2019 Subaru Outback Wagon is the Yakima JetStream rack part numbers # Y00425, # Y53TR, and # Y00241 because this rack attaches directly to the factory fixed mounting points on the rails of your roof, because this rack has aero shaped bars that will minimize wind noise and because the rack is well-made and easy to install.

Then for a kayak carrier the Yakima JayLow # Y04073 is what I recommend because this rack is padded, can fold down when not in use, and with the SKS kit # Y07206 you'd have the ability to lock the rack to the vehicle and lock the carrier to the rack all with the same key.
