The Yakima JayLow is a J-style kayak carrier that tilts the kayak on its side for easier roof clearance and simpler loading. Excellent for Australian coastal adventures, it folds flat when not in use and fits most rack systems.
Pros
- J-style saves roof space for two boats
- Folds flat when empty
- Tilts for easier loading solo
- Padded cradles protect kayak hull
- Fits round, oval, and factory bars
Cons
- Loading a heavy kayak alone is still challenging
- Straps require care to route correctly
- Not ideal for very wide recreational kayaks
