Has anyone tried the Yakima BigStack? Is it actually good for carrying multiple kayaks?
I've been using the Yakima BigStack for about a year now, and it's been a game-changer for our family trips. We can easily fit two kayaks on each side of our Subaru Outback's roof rack, which is way better than trying to juggle them individually. It feels really secure, even on longer drives, and I haven't had any issues with shifting.
