The DockGlide uses two independent pivoting saddles with an angle lever so they conform to many hull shapes. The felt rear pads let the kayak glide and center as you load. T-Track and FlipFit brackets fit many Thule bars, round bars and most factory racks, and it comes with straps and bow and stern tie-downs.

KayakDIY take: Saddles that glide make loading from the rear much easier. For more transport gear, see my fishing kayak accessories guide.
