Leader Accessories EverShine Kayak Rack (100 lb) Review

This EverShine roof rack set is priced at $109.99 (down from $124.99) and includes 2 pairs -- 4 racks total -- so you can carry 2 kayaks. It also comes with 4 tie-down straps, a set of mounting accessories, and an assembly instruction.

The racks are built from 19mm diameter, 1.0mm thick steel tube with a black powder coat for durability and rust prevention, and they are tested to 100 lbs for safe transport. An ergonomic quick-release design lets you fold and raise the racks easily, and they fold flat when not in use for better garage clearance without removing them from the car.

Foam padding and a rubber pedal design reduce scratching and prevent kayaks or canoes from rubbing. The universal mounting fits most factory or aftermarket square, oval, and flat crossbars -- but not round bars -- and the racks carry kayaks, canoes, surfboards, ski boards, snowboards, and SUPs. The listing notes crossbars must sit at least 1.8" above the roof and be at least 0.8" thick.

Leader Accessories ships only within the 48 continental United States -- no Alaska, Hawaii, international, PO Box, or APO/FPO addresses. Orders of $70 or more ship free; otherwise shipping is a flat $10. Processing takes 1-2 business days and transit runs 2-6 business days. Returns are accepted within 30 days. Defective, wrong, or incomplete items get a prepaid return label, while personal-reason returns are at the buyer's expense. Exchanges are possible within 24 hours of ordering, before the item ships. Note that sale items and gift cards are excluded from returns under the policy, so this discounted price carries no return option.

Specifications

How it compares

The like-for-like comparison is the EverShine Kayak Rack (150 lb): the same 2 pairs (4 racks) with 4 straps in black alloy steel, but with a wider 22mm tube, a 1.5mm wall and a 150 lb figure. That set's Black Steel option is $129.99 (sold out on Oct 25, 2026), which is $20.00 more than this rack's $109.99. Its Stainless Steel option is $149.99 (in stock), which is $40.00 more. This 100 lb page drops the 8.5" widening design and the 8 Ft figure that the 150 lb page gives.

The Kayak Rack J-Bar Roof Mount lists 2 pair of J bars with 4 straps and a 250 lb figure for $91.99 (sold out), which is $18.00 below this rack, with no tube size and no mention of folding. The 2-in-1 Folding Kayak Rack J Bar is $89.99 (sold out) and lists only '1 Set'. Who suits what: this rack suits a lighter boat or board (the page gives 100 lbs) on crossbars at least 0.8" thick, and it was one of two rack listings with an option in stock on Oct 25, 2026. Take the 150 lb set for a heavier boat (only its $149.99 Stainless Steel option was in stock; Black Steel was sold out), and the 250 lb rack only if it returns to stock with a tube size.

Shipping, returns and warranty

Read on Oct 25, 2026 from the store's shipping policy, refund policy and terms of service. Leader Accessories is both the maker and the store, so there is no separate maker warranty page to check against.

• Where it ships: the 48 continental United States only. No PO boxes and no military addresses (APO, FPO). Confirm the address before ordering, because later changes may cost extra.
• Shipping fee: free on orders of $70 or more, otherwise $10. The policy adds that the store usually runs promotions that make shipping free on most items, without saying which.
• Timing: 1 to 2 business days to process, then 2 to 6 business days in transit, by USPS, UPS or another carrier, with tracking by email. Customized or monogrammed items take 4 or more working days to process. Report a shipping problem within 30 days of ordering.
• Return window: 30 days after you receive the item to request a return or exchange. Contact the store first for the return address; the item goes back in its original packaging and in a state that allows resale.
• Who pays return shipping: the store sends a pre-paid label once it accepts a return, which its policy ties to items that arrive defective, incorrect or incomplete (send the order number, photos and videos). For a return for personal reasons, return freight is at your expense. If the store ships the wrong item, it reimburses the return shipping fee when it receives the item back.
• Refunds: to the original payment method after the warehouse inspects the return; the policy says the credit can take up to 7 to 10 more business days. If the value of the products left on the order is under $30, a $10 shipping fee is deducted from the refund; the policy does not say whether that applies to a one-item order returned in full.
• Exchanges and cancellations: an exchange is possible only within 24 hours of ordering, before the package ships, and only if the item is in stock. An order that has been processed cannot be canceled.
• Not returnable: sale items and gift cards, custom or personalized products, perishables, personal care goods and hazardous materials. The policy does not define "sale items".
• Warranty: none stated. The shipping and refund policies do not mention one, the store's /pages/warranty address returned a 404 page on Oct 25, 2026, and section 13 of the terms of service provides products "as is", without warranties of durability or fitness for a particular purpose, except as the store expressly states.
• Prices and errors: the terms let the store change prices without notice and correct errors in descriptions, prices or shipping charges, including by canceling an order after it is placed.
• Contact: [email protected] is the only contact the policies give; the store's /pages/contact and FAQ addresses returned 404 pages.

Where the pages disagree

• Shipping speed: the product page banner says "Free Same-Day Shipping over $70". The shipping policy lists 1 to 2 business days of processing before the 2 to 6 day delivery window, and sets the free-shipping line at "greater or equal to $70".
• Exchanges: the banner says "30-Day Easy Return & Exchange". The refund policy gives 30 days to request a return but allows an exchange only within 24 hours of ordering and before shipment.
• Guarantee wording: the refund page is headed "30-Day Money-Back Guarantee", but the text under it covers defective, incorrect or incomplete items and says returns for personal reasons are at your expense.

For this product, the review's $109.99 is above the $70 free-shipping line, so the $10 fee does not apply; the page crosses out $124.99 (Save $15), so the refund policy's ban on sale items may cover it (the policy does not define the term); the one option was in stock on Oct 25, 2026.
