There as been another related thread on this topic recently that triggered me to research at this as a solution for us while Truck Camping. I goggled and came up with this website illustrating fold-up kayaks which appears to be a pretty new product and perhaps well designed. There are no outlets in eastern Canada yet and wanted to get peoples input as to whether they have seem them or better still used them etc. This solution would make it easier to store them while driving. The weight is what attracted me but also that it folds up into a box. Any input would be appreciated as I am apprehensive in ordering sight unseen. cheers christl Here is web site.

Can't decide if I would trust it to not leak and stay erected.
Are we still talking kayaks? :W

We have a pair of single Feathercraft kayaks and one double. They're great, very seaworthy bluewater boats that can carry a lot of gear. There really isn't a body of water I would hesitate to put them on provided I was physically up to the task. We bought them so they could fly as baggage in large and small planes to places we couldn't transport hard shell boats to.
The good ones typically take an hour or so to set up, and take a bit to break down and pack away, so they're not good for just doing a little paddle on a lake and being on your way. Inflatables can be up and ready to go in 10 minutes.
I would find a way to experiment with several before you buy, especially if you're considering an expensive one.

Is it me, or that doesn't sound like owners like them enough?

Those fold-able things look good on the picture, but they can be really annoying when in use.
Even non-fold-able kayaks come in very different qualities.
I bought canoe 2 years ago at Walmart.
The strong-looking canoe with motor transom was 90 lb, making it pretty hard to carry around, yet the plastic would flap while on the lake.
I refunded it at Walmart and bought high-quality 45 lb fiberglass canoe that makes me happy.
Carry it on the roof over AC unit just fine.

Everything below is in the front bag..
Please provide me with make and dimensions of your front rack and web site for the double kayak. I assume you have not had any problem with overheating of transmission with your rack loaded? I had one on my GMC 1500 and had to keep center part of rack open for air flow.
Folding aluminum rack I believe is " 52x 24" made by EverThere (model discontinued) when open
Boat can be found here:

There have been no cooling or any issues at all with transport on my front recover hitch and I have owned this boat since 2007.
