Review & Description
The popular J style carrier has been redesigned for improved value while maintaining great performance
The Thule 835XTR Hull-a-Port Rooftop Kayak Carrier is a vertical-oriented carrier designed for easy installation, economic use of space and easy loading and unloading on any vehicle. Featuring a J-profile, the 835XTR Hull-a-Port provides for easy-to-access angled loading from the side of the vehicle and a maximum total -- with additional carriers sold separately -- of up to four kayaks per vehicle, depending on available space. Additional features include: 100 percent tool-free installation, rust-resistant coating and hardware and four touchpoints of adjustable padding.

Efficient and Effective J-Cradle Design
The Thule 835XTR Hull-a-Port Rooftop Kayak Carrier is the right kayak carrying solution for paddlers whose concerns in a carrier are split between efficient use of space on their roof rack and ease of use. Designed around two J-profile Hull-a-Port carrier assemblies, each attached to a roof rack load bar and containing four adjustable touchpoints of padding, the 835XTR allows kayaks of all shapes and sizes to safely lean on their sides, with the cockpit facing out. This vertical stowage position is safe, aerodynamic and secure in transport and poses no danger of warping to boats when they are stowed correctly. Vertical stowage and transport also efficiently uses the precious space atop your roof rack, allowing for up to four 835XTR Hull-a-Port Rooftop Kayak Carriers to be used at once on certain vehicles, or leaving room for other roof rack accessories to share space with the 835XTR. The Thule 835XTR Hull-a-Port Rooftop Kayak Carrier is also easy to load and unload by 1-2 people. Mounted close to the side of a vehicle, once drained, kayaks are easily lifted and held in place by the padded J-profile Hull-a-Port design.

The Thule 835XTR Hull-a-Port Rooftop Kayak Carrier features completely tool-free installation. Its two J-profile cradles can be mounted quickly and securely using only a combination of bolts and mounting knobs on virtually any roof rack, including all Thule base racks, round cross bars and factory installed roof racks with cross bars. It also includes two straps to secure each end of kayaks to J-profile Hull-a-Port assemblies and your roof rack, as well as bow and stern ¼-inch rope tiedowns with hooks, and ratcheting attachments to further secure mounted kayaks at the front and rear via your bumper, tow hook or trailer hitch by way of your kayak's grab handles.

About Thule
Thule was founded in 1942 by the Thulin family, when Eric Thulin, a true lover of the outdoors, put the Thule name on a pike trap he designed and began to sell in Scandinavia. It wasn't long before he added other practical items to the company's portfolio. By the 1960s, the company began to concentrate on car-related products, including its first roof rack. The Thulin family sold Thule to the publicly listed company Eldon in 1979, and it has continued to grow both organically and through acquisitions ever since. The Thule Group is a world leader in providing transport solutions for an active life.
