HandiRack Inflatable Roof Rack

I have been using the Malone handirack for a year now on my honda element for my paddle boards. I find it extremely convenient, easy to pack and use and Malone stands behind their product. I recommend 100%

I had used foam blocks and Yakima racks for years, then I got a car which could not mount a rack. My sons and wife came came to the rescue that Xmas with help from Rutabaga. They found the Malone handy rack inflatable car top carrier.

It looks like two WWII G.I. life belts, but works amazingly well. It is strapped on the car top by threading the tie-downs through the open doors and then inflated. I have used it for my Old Town Discovery 164 and Wenonah Fusion. It comes with all straps and air pump. I like it almost as much as my old Yakima. There is only one draw back. When it rains the tie downs act as wicks resulting in showers inside the car. If you can't use a regular rack, or your car doesn't have a factory rack, this is the way to go.

I bought the Malone Inflatable HandiRack roof rack earlier this year. I traded in my old car, which had roof racks, for a brand new one that does not. I didn't want to put hard racks on my new car and decided to give this product a try. I had my doubts at first, but it works really well. Easy to put on and take off. Just a few minutes. Holds my kayak securely. I travel at freeway speed with no problem. On the negative side, the pump that comes with it is kind of rinky dink and makes it a bit of a hassle to inflate. I just keep mine inflated in the garage when not in use. It has also left a few, very fine scratches on my roof.
