Rhino-Rack Nautic Roof Kayak Carrier Compared to Thule DockGlide Kayak Carrier
Question:
I have a 2022 hobie compass and Thule crossbars that attach to my Honda Odyssey. Is the Thule or Yakima roof cradle a better attachment to carry the boat? Mostly short trips buy may have a 2 day travel trip a few times

Expert Reply:
The Rhino-Rack Nautic Roof Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs, # RR571 and Thule DockGlide Kayak Carrier with Tie-Downs # TH896 are similar products from two different manufacturers. Each carrier lets you easily load and carry 1 kayak on your roof rack crossbars and fit round, square, aero, elliptical, and most factory crossbars. Both options are from manufacturers that have a well earned and solid reputation for quality products. My suggestion is to select what you think is the best price point for you, though I do lean toward the Rhino-Rack option, # RR571 in large part from the amount positive customer reviews available.
