Thule Load Straps for Roof Mount Racks

Just what we needed to keep our kayaks secure on the top of our car. The cover over the metal part protects your vehicle from scratches.

What a great deal on our load straps! Shipping time was excellent, too.

These Straps are better than other brands because of the rubber cover for the buckle. It enables you to toss the strap without fear of scratching your car. Very nice.

These are awesome

Much better quality than the cheapo straps sold in hardware stores. Cost more, but strong.

I have a pair of these straps that came with my Thule kayak carrier and they are so simple to use, very secure, very reliable. Ive gone on 400 mile road trips using only these straps, no bumper ties, and the straps remained tight through the drive. Im getting an extra pair to use when Im carrying extra kayaks for my friends and just to have on hand to use instead of bungees or ratchet straps.

These straps are plain and simple but very effective and easy to tie down canoe or kayak. I used a basic Thule rack with a couple pool noodles I got for $1 each at a drug store.

we recently purchased a Thule stacker kayak rack that came with only two of these straps. We quickly discovered that this made it necessary to tie one end of the first kayak loaded onto the rack so that it wouldnt slide off while trying to load the second one. You then had to tie both kayaks with the second strap, then undo the first strap and re-tie both kayaks with it. Having the additional two straps enables us to completely tie the first kayak on, then move onto the next one and strap it on. No retracing steps. It also gives you enough extra strap to run a loop under the kayak, around the bottom of the vertical stacker and back around and up to the buckle. This keeps the kayak snug against the upright instead of trying to slide out at the bottom. I would suggest to Thule that they bump their price a bit and include four straps to begin with.

Work great!

Thule quality. Would def buy again.
