Lockrack Adjustable XL Watersport Carrier Review - 2022 Volkswagen Taos- Video

Hi everyone, it's Evangeline here at etrailer, and today we have the LockRack XL. This is going to be an adjustable kayak carrier for carrying around your kayaks. We'll take a look at how it fits our 2022 Volkswagen Taos. The LockRack is a very popular option for a kayak carrier because it diminishes the need for straps, especially for the center of your kayak. Now if you're going fast speeds or long distances, you definitely still need bow and stern straps, or ropes, or tie downs, whichever you prefer for your vehicle. Other than that though, this makes it easier to get the kayak up and going. more

Inno Multi Board SUP and Surfboard Pads Review - 2013 Volkswagen Jetta- Video

Zach: Hey everybody, Zach here at eachtrailer.com. Today, we're taking a look at the Inno Multi Board Carrier on our 2013 Volkswagen Jetta. This is going to be a great cost-effective way to get your stand-up paddleboard or your surfboard to the water. And what I like about it is there's not a lot going on with it. It's just simple foam pads, and then we're using it in conjunction with etrailers cambuckle straps. Inno has cambuckle straps, and they do a great job of holding things in place, but when it comes to protecting the finish I think the etrailer ones do a little bit better job.The way it does that is it has this neoprene sleeve that goes around the buckle, so it does a good job at protecting the finish. more

When it comes to carrying kayaks on top of your car, there are a lot of options. And for me, I used to be a saddle style kayak carrier, basically where it sits down in the hull. But with a J-Style like we have here today, we're able to maximize our roof space. So if you wanted to have another kayak on your Jetta, it's not a very big car, but with the J-Style, you can maximize your roof space and get a second kayak up there. more
