Improvements: The SmarT-Slot kit for this product appears to be eternally sold out.
Just what I needed

We’re novice XC skiers but it didn’t take long to figure out that cramming skis in between our seats for hours long drives was not ideal. Combined with Jetstream bars, I have a simple solution for transporting a few pairs of skis or snowboards safely, effectively and with virtually no noise. I opted for the shorter length to allow for future addition of a cargo basket, but if you need the larger capacity, go for it as the mechanics are the same. I appreciate the integrated SKS locks, simple installation and general good looks of this product. Yakima does it again!

Improvements: Make the installation simpler. It's okay to have to use tools. The past Yakima racks have been much easier to install.
Go back to old school installation concept

The whole "no tools needed" installation concept spoke to me. I chose this rack over another specifically for that reason. Regrets. The rack looks stellar (the biggest redeeming quality) and is easy to operate. However, the thing is a pain in the butt to install. I wish I had listened to the other reviews about it being more difficult than advertised to install. Simplicity is key in this situation, and unfortunately, this is a massive swing and a miss from Yakima. I will likely sell this once I take it off for the season because I don't want to mess with getting it back on.

Fat Cat For The Win

The new Fat Cat ski rack is awesome! It was easy to install on the car. It's easy to operate. I love the low profile and it easily fits our family's (5 adult size skis) on the rack!

The Gold Standard

This is the best rack to quickly attach to your factory rack. Quick, easy, solid. Another winner from Yakima.

Love the Fat Cat

We really love the Fat Cat 6 ski/snowboard rack. It's easy to use and pretty quiet. I almost forget it's on the roof. I would recommend

FatCat EVO 6 & SmarT-Slot Kit 2

Easy to install, works and looks great with the whispbars on my wagon.

Great rack. A little hard to close when you have it fully loaded, but otherwise works perfectly.

Easy to use once installed

Solid product and very easy to use once you've installed it. However, Yakima, time for your engineers to go back to KISS. Keep It Simple Stupid. Way overdesigned and unnecessarily complicated to put on. If the bolt drops down a bit and isn't sticking out enough to attach the thumbscrew to, then it's a nightmare to push it back up while trying to hold the washer on and get the thumbscrew started at the same time. Even with two people trying to hold everything at once. There is no reason it should be this hard for a simple ski rack.

Great Racks!

I got these racks installed on my 21' Toyota 4Runner, and it works great during the snow season. The wife and I snowboard, so we can place both of our boards side by side and still lock down the racks. I had these racks for about two years and didn't have any issues with them. We got these because of the capacity to hold up to four snowboards. Yakima need to redo their instructions because it provided a general idea of how to install the racks but not in detail.
