These saddle pads seemed designed for a round-bottomed kayak - not a flatter-bottomed fishing kayak. They flattened out and didn't support my fishing kayak. I tried them for all of 5 minutes before taking them off. Not sure what to do with them now.

Simply stated, the product carried and held my canoe solidly without any wobbling or wind effects. Very pleased with the product.

We use four pairs of Deckhands to secure our two lake kayaks on top of our pickup truck. The kayaks are mounted year round as we RV full-time. After two years, we've noted the plastic has begun to deform. Additionally, despite our best efforts, the kayaks tend to twist in the saddles thereby not laying flat. We're now shopping for another way to ensure the kayaks remain firmly in place.
