Why this product

Why the Thule Hull-a-Port XTR?

The XTR is Thule's most versatile J-cradle — it carries 1 or 2 kayaks depending on how you position it, folds flat for highway driving, and locks to the crossbar. At 12.5 lbs in steel it is heavier than some competitors, but the dual-position flexibility and included padding make it a strong pick if you sometimes paddle with a partner.
