Hi, looking for the best kayak rack for a 2015 Suburu Outbacks factory installed roof racks. We have a 14foot long and wider than normal kayak and 17foot touring kayak. So they are not small boats. Thank you,

We have a couple of options for carrying kayaks on the roof of your 2015 Subaru Outback with factory crossbars..
You can use two Yakima JayLow Kayak Racks, # Y04073, to carry two kayaks at a time.
This carrier includes heavy-duty straps and bow/stern tie-downs. Be sure you check the weight capacity of your vehicle's roof and roof rack to ensure you do not overload your roof or roof rack.
I have attached an FAQ article on roof-mounted water sport carriers for you to review that may be of some help when adding a kayak carrier to your vehicle.
