My purpose is to give me some protection while kayaking in the open bay water. Cooler water might need a full body wet suit which is what I am going to do before next winter."

"Wet suit has served me well on several kayaking trips."
"I'm 6'1" 155lbs lean build and a medium fits me very well apart from being a little tight at the knees but even after a few wears, that's relaxing as well."

"They're designed to keep you dry and they do just that."

"I had read good reviews and had heard that it was a good item to have on extended trips but I did not realize how much so until after a few hours on the river."
"While I'm not sure the lumbar pad will make the seat more comfortable, it can't hurt & I applaud the manufacturer's efforts to improve the product. My originals are basic black and the muted forest green on these is a better outdoor fit."
"I think some improvement could be had on the 2 diagonal straps (shown in stock photo) that adjust the seat back angle."
"While it was close, unlike other reviewers I had no trouble with the width of the seat nor the length of the straps in the rear seat of the canoe. The split seat design fit well with the molded seat of the canoe, and the back pocket was handy for our river map."
"I like this seat much better than those without a frame."
"I love the ability to adjust the seat angle - you can have it vertical for long distance paddling (which promotes sitting up straighter and maintaining better posture for your lower back), can lay it down so it is almost horizontal (completely out of the way if needed), or any angle in between (like 45 degrees so can lean back, stretch out, and relax for a bit)."
"The stitching popped and came undone on the bottoms which made the seat unstable and caused it to flex and slide a lot."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"Not knowing, I attached the brackets directly to the bars, loaded the kayaks, strapped them in, and went on a three hour drive across Idaho. On the trip home driving 65mph there were strong crosswinds pressing on the kayaks, so strong that the front aero bar bent up on the left (see photo) and the continued force of the wind caused the right aero bar bracing to slip off the side rail. Thankfully the brace jammed on the inside edge of the side rail instead of flying completely off, and thankfully the Malone racks held strong, and the kayaks remained strapped tight. I pulled over, re-fit the left jammed side brace, moved the rack further out over the right bar bracing, and drove the rest of the way at about 50mph due to the prevailing winds and concern that the bent rack would slip out again."
"I have never had kayak carriers before. From reading reviews about the Malone Load Assist, it seemed to me that individuals that happen to post pictures & had problems did not use Malone kayak carriers."
"Long story short not only did I get it home in one piece but while unhooking it I realized my dad who helped me strap it down had put the tie down strap on the back carrier through a little wire bracket that is only there to keep the tie downs out of the way while loading it and unbelievably it didn't break off. (the tie downs are supposed to go around the actual bar on the rack, it will make sense when you see it in person). And with the convenience of never having to remove them sense they fold down there a definitely worth the extra $50 over the stationary ones."
"I installed these in the dark, with a large number of mosquitoes nipping at me. But I had some very nice Thule straps that have the little "mitten" for the cleat."
"Really wanted to give this a positive review, but the product showed up missing the clamps and bolts needed to actually attach it to my crossbars."
