Why this product

Why the Yakima JayLow J-Cradle?

The JayLow is Yakima's dual-position J-cradle β€” carry 1 kayak up to 80 lbs in full J-mode or 2 kayaks up to 110 lbs combined in low-profile mode. Built-in load assist via an integrated loading ramp, folds flat, tool-free installation. At 12.85 lbs it is heavier than basic J-hooks, but the dual-boat flexibility and load assist justify the weight for paddlers who sometimes bring a second boat.
