Yakima Bow/Stern Tie Down Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased these tie-down straps with a full rack and canoe kit. The tiedows were very pricey, but they claimed they cam with a protective tube over the ropes to prevent paint scratches.

Let me save you some trouble- Don't bother with these. Get some normal tie-down straps or even some good rope, and wrap them in a towel or cloth. The plastic rope covers scratched the paint on my car very badly, and didn't really offer any other benefit.

The one good feature about these straps is the ratcheting system- When you pull the rope tighter, a ratchet locks it into place until the ratchet lever is pulled. This isn't to say it replaces a good cargo strap, since the rope does tend to come loose, but with some good knot tying, you can get it pretty solid.

Overall, the product quality is as expected, but in the end it was a waste.

I rate things as follows:
1 star - Far below expectations / Completely unsatisfactory
2 star - Below expectations / Unsatisfactory
3 star - Met expectations / Satisfactory
4 star - Exceeded expectations / Very satisfactory
5 star - Far exceeded expectations / Beyond satisfactory

Yakima Q Clip Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had the Q-tower system for a number of years, through three different vehicles.All in all a great rack system, except for two items:The cost of the little parts that you need to convert from one vehicle to the other are stratospheric! I really don't mind Yakima making their money on the big ticket items such as towers, boxes, etc. but the little adapter items should be priced more fairly.It seems to me that once you are locked into a Yakima system they fully intend to hose you on the little things.Too bad.Further, the Yakima website is a mess to try and find the specific little items and accessories that they intend on hosing you with!
