GREAT SKI & SNOWBOARD RACK!!!

Rating:*****
Great Ski/Snowboard Rack! I have a new Jeep Grand Cherokee with sport rails. It was easy to install and looks great. The fact that the rack loads on each side is a great advantage with any SUV. Some of my friends have other racks which load from one side only. With Higher SUV's, it can be a pain to fully load other racks without climbing up on something so that you can reach the opposite side. I would definately recommend this rack to everyone.

The only reason to get a different rack is if you are looking for a more universal rack that can also be used for other equipment such as bikes or kayaks.

So far, so good!

This ski rack was easy to install and has been easy to use. A definite plus is that it has openings on both sides of the car, so that we can easily reach all of our snowboards and skis.

We haven't used it long enough to know whether or not it is durable, but with Thule's reputation, I'm betting that it will be durable as well. I would definitley recommend this product to others.

You have to try it to believe it.

Snowboards are easy to strap onto the rack. There is no need to adjust your bindings before strapping them on the rack, unless you have 3 or 4 boards to strap on. The snowboards do not slide once they are strapped on. The only draw-back is that salt from the roads sprays up onto your bindings and board. Other than that, it's great!

Works great. Doesnt take long to setup.

Rating:*****
This was a great product for me because I dont have crossbars on my SUV (only side rails). If it had better instructions, it would have been pretty simple to install. I've already used it once without any problems. I highly recommend, but you might try to search the internet for instructions ... with words ... in English.

It is convenient, easy to use, and very durable. I really like this rack. It is great to be able to load skis from each side of the car. Makes it much easier for shorter people with taller cars.

Great solution for factory racks

Rating:****
Easy to install and affordable! Great product for those with factor installed racks. Very strong and stable. Only drawback is the somewhat vague muli-lingual instructions.

SO FAR SO GOOD!

Rating:****
great because it was the only ski rack I could find to fit on side-bars without having to purchase cross-bars!
