 "A good product for it's intended purpose" 2009-07-26
By Jerry Maltezo (Mililani, HI USA)
The Malone HandiRack works fine. It is a little noisy like having balloons tied to your roof. It doesn't inspire great confidence, but it gets the job done. I feel I need to drive really slow with a 11ft. standup paddle surfboard on my Sequoia. I'm hoping it stays put and it should, but just a little hard to get used to. The great thing is you can take them off (and you should) when not in use. I'd recommend it for light use and not a replacement for a permanent roof rack.

 "Used rack to carry my 2 windsurf boards" 2009-06-07
By A. Forero
I recently bought the Malone HandiRack inflatable roofrack. I opted over a permanent roofrack basically because there are no Thule or Yakima racks that will fit my Saturn car. So I thought I'd give this one a shot, plus I also thought that if I ever needed to carry something on my wife's car (or for that matter, my friend's or parent's car), I could easily use this rack as well. Plus given that roofracks create drag, then your gas mileage can go down, so I thought it would be another plus, that I can remove the rack easily.

So I used the rack 2 weekends ago to carry my 2 windsurf boards to Cape Hatteras. The rack was easy to inflate and relatively easy to attach to the roof. Given that it was my first time doing it, and I read the directions carefully, so I'd say it took me about 20 minutes. However, next time I have to attach it my roof, it should go a lot quicker and will probably take me only 5 minutes. After my trip, I left the rack inflated in my garage so that I don't have to inflate it again the next time.

The only drawback I saw with the rack was also mentioned in another Amazon review, and also in the Roof-rack instructions, and it is the issue with water seeping into the car if it rains. While in Cape Hatteras, I left the rack attached, and one night it rained really hard the whole night. The next morning water had seeped in and the car seats were wet. Not all seats were equally wet. One of the seats was wetter than the others because of the way I had attached the rack on that door. I left too much of the protective fabric going over the door seal. The instructions did mention that the rain problem can be avoided if you fold back the fabric so that it doesn't go over the door seal. The other seats where the fabric was folded back were no as wet. Anyways, if you want to avoid the rain issue, either fold back the fabric, or simply disconnect the rack overnight.

The rain problem mentioned doesn't seem to be an issue when you're driving. On the way back home it started raining hard while we were driving, but no water seeped in because I had folded back the fabric and also because the forward motion of the car keeps the water from going straight down through the door seal. We did get 1 or 2 drops, but it wasn't a big issue, we just dried the drops as we saw them appearing.

As far as carrying my 2 windsurf boards, the rack did fine and I have no complaints. We drove for about 5 hours, at a maximum speed of 75 miles-per-hour on certain highways. The inflatable tubes appear very durable and seem like they can carry a lot more weight than I put on there. The instructions say you can carry up to 180kg (I think that's about 360 lbs).

So if you have no other option for a roof rack because no company makes one that fits your car, or you only use roof racks once in a while, or if you like the fact that you can transfer the rack to any car, or if you like the look of your car without any roof rack on top, or if you'd like to keep your gas mileage down,...... then I'd say this is a good buy.
