    NEVER use the black plastic strap guides on the top bar. They fail and the strap comes completely off the boat. Always go around the bar itself. I’m glad I learned this by tightening the strap a little too much and the plastic guide and strap came flying off. The guide is 1. Not solid ring around the bar and 2. PLASTIC. Who thought plastic would actually stand up to any kind of force in an accident or wind speed when it can’t handle some pressure when pulling on the cam buckle?🤦‍♀️

    Nate, great video. You did forget to compare the hull of the Pungo to the Loon. You flipped the Loon over to show it's hull, but the hull of the Pungo was not shown. The hull on the Pungo is one of the biggest advantages when comparing recreational kayaks. The Pungo hull is designed for great stability, it is one of its features that separates it from all other recreational kayaks without sacrificing performance. I have paddled both many miles, there is no comparison in the stability of the Pungo over the Loon. I believe for recreational paddlers this is an important feature.

    how does these compared to the pelican argo xr ? I know its cheaper but it got a camp seat .. why doesnt more kayaks got this ?

    • @sherpersinc
      @sherpersinc Год назад

      Hi there! We currently don't carry the Pelican models, but can provide a little basic insight on the differences. The Argo is constructed via a blow mold versus the roto mold of the Pungo and Loon. This allows it to be produced faster and easier, allowing for the lower price point, but it won't be as strong as the roto mold kayaks, or have as much ability for changes in the hull design. The hull designs on the Pungo or Loon allow them to move much better in the water in addition to providing better stability. As for the seats, the Argo's seat appears to be able to come out fully which is a unique feature. That being said we haven't personally sat in one to know how it would feel on the water. We recommend stopping by a store to sit in the Pungo or the Loon seats, as they are some of the most comfortable available!

      On the Loon 106, there is a usable weight capacity of 272 lbs. That's the weight available for a person, gear, and pets. The Loon 120 can hold 321 lbs. Hope this helps!

    • @sherpersinc
      @sherpersinc Год назад

      @@mjfollrd Totally understand! If you take a peek at the chart in the first link in the description, it shows the dimensions and deck height for each model. The width is the same (31") on the 106 and 126, but the deck height is actually a little bit taller on the 106. This gives a little more room for someone in the 106 versus the 120, however, you will hit that usable weight limit quicker, so you'll want to consider that.

    Hint: If putting the Malone Downloaders on Thule load bars, you’ll possibly need to order extra long bolts from Malone as Thule load bars are thicker than vehicle manufacturer installed bars. To put the Malone rack on the bar, you’ll install the rack onto the bar without the footpad because the rack’s hinge bolt heads stick out about 1/4” towards the center. Then you’ll install the footpad and short weather strip on the underside of the load bar and fasten the footpad onto your vehicle.

    Dude, you are literally a life saver (and kayak saver)! I just installed a roof rack with these kayak racks 2 hours before leaving for a camping trip. We got 10 minutes down the road and it was pouring rain, I was going 20 mph on the highway with 30 mph gusts of wind coming directly at the car. It wasn’t long before the car and roof started to vibrate tremendously. We pulled over in the pouring rain and realized the kayaks had shifted and lifted off of the rack. We frantically started watching videos on RUclips and came across this video. After watching your video I am happy to report the kayaks are as solid as a rock. We are on the road again safe and sound, thanks again for the awesome tutorial!!

  • @groovymoon

    Between the Loon 126 or the Pungo 125, which one has the most vertical space for your feet. I am 6' 1", 210lbs with size 12 feet. I currently paddle a 2016 Pungo 120. I LOVE the way the boat paddles and it's a pretty good boat for my usage, but 1) The seat is not that comfy for me and 2) My feet are uncomfortably cramped vertically. So I am looking to get a bigger boat with more volume.

    • @sherpersinc
      @sherpersinc Год назад

      Thanks for reaching out! The Loon 126 offers a deck height of 17.25, while the Pungo doesn't list an official deck height. Measuring is kind of difficult because of the angle of the boats, but we tried to measure how your foot would be resting while in the boat and measured 12" for Loon 126, and 11" for the Pungo 125. If you're not a fan of the seat, the Loon seat and the Pungo seats have many similarities. We have found many who prefer the Loon seat and some that prefer the Pungo, so not sure if that will provide a massive difference for longer paddles. You may also consider a sit on top style like the Old Town Salty, Perception Tribe, Ocean Kayak Malibu, or Old Town Bigwater. The Loon or Pungo move easier in the water, but if you can't get comfortable in those it won't matter. If you are near any of our stores, we gladly welcome you to stop in and sit in any of the boats! We also offer demo days where you can paddle them for free on a local lake near our Oconomowoc store to get a true feel for the boat prior to purchasing.

    • @sherpersinc
      @sherpersinc 2 года назад

      You can add in the ties to the hood or the rear of the car for extra stability on longer trips. If you aren't traveling for prolonged periods of time, using just the straps on the downloaders is plenty. It is always good to check them and tighten them periodically when you stop at a gas station, etc.

    • @Avacarho
      @Avacarho Год назад

      Front and rear tie-downs are absolutely necessary. If you slam on your brakes, the kayak can shift forward. The other reason is wind drag. While driving, your kayak is having to cut through the wind since it sits high and the wind grabs your kayak at your cockpit causing the straps to possibly loosen. A strong gust could take your kayak off your vehicle and hit another vehicle for which you would be at fault. I use a cockpit cover made specifically for my cockpit size to reduce drag and prevent the cockpit from filling with rain water during downpours and bad storms. When a kayak fills with water while on your vehicle, it can warp the kayak, make it harder to get your kayak down because of the extra weight (8lbs. per gal.), and can possible damage your roof.
