Malone MegaWing Reinforced V-Style Carriers

I learned about these reading product reviews of other carriers here. I just carried an 80 pound two person kayak 400 miles on a 4Runner roof rack with zero drama. They were easy to install, rock solid, and generally just did the job for significantly less cost that other big name products. The included straps and end ropes were also high quality

For larger heavier kayaks this is the way to go. I carry a Vibe Sea Ghost 130 on these. It is 33 inches wide and rests well on the outsides of the rack. Easy to secure the kayak with the included straps. The straps seem to be good quality...time will tell. If you want to lock them to your roof rack...so nobody can take them while your away. There is a small round hole at the tip of the carrier. I ran a cable lock for securing a gun through that hole and down around the outside roof rack part that is permanently attached to my. You will need to measure what length lock u need oncd installed on your vehicle. Mine needed to be 11 inches. Will it stop the determined thief will bolt cutters..NO. But it will stop the spur of the moment thief from just unscrewing them and taking off. Took me a minute to come up with this as the internet had No ideas for thief proofing the malone megawing. Hope this helps!

I use this for carrying my Old Town Salty PDL and it works pretty well! It sometimes likes to slide down a bit into the V of the rack but its really easy to reposition on the "wings". If I had more of a budget I probably would have went with the Malone big catch saddles but this also works really well as a budget option. Fits my kayak great, comes with tie downs and is super secure.

Not that expensive compared to others, much more solid than J-hooks and much easier to rear-load than to side-load as with some of the other cradle mounts.
