Delta Design Degas Kayak Roof Box Storage Review

Delta Design Degas Kayak Roof Box Storage
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This product is advertised as a gravity rack for kayaks able to hold up to 100 pounds. It could possibly hold a child's play kayak of about five feet long, but certainly not an adult boat. It is flimsy, bends easily, and is a useless product. The idea is great(I bought a gravity bike rack from Amazon which is fabulous. It holds both of my bikes against the garage wall without the need for drilling - see my review of that item for a photo) but this product is not capable of performing as advertised. I ended up donating it to our local hospital thrift shop.

Designed to hold up to two kayaks or rooftop storage boxes at once, the Delta Degas storage system is ideal for people with space-challenged garages or homes. The Degas installs discreetly on any wall--either with the included hardware or simply by leaning against the vertical surface--where it won't get in the way of your car, table saw, or furniture. Once it's mounted, all you have to do is rest your kayak or storage box in the hooks and you're set--no attachments required. Coated with a silver powder-coated finish, the Degas measures 75 by 48 by 22 inches (W x H x D) and holds up to 100 pounds. It also comes with mounting hardware and instructions.

Yakima Bow/Stern Tie Down Review

Yakima Bow/Stern Tie Down
Average 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
