Review: I just installed the Yakima Jetstream crossbars on my 2018 Subaru Outback. I am using these with the Yakima Skyline and the Yakima Landing Pad 15. These will primarily be used with Yakima bike carriers. I previously used Yakima round bars with a fairing to cut wind noise. I cannot take the fairing through my local car wash and got tired of removing them. After reading reviews I bought the Jetstreams. The initial installation is straightforward as with all Yakima products I have used and appear to be solid and well-made. I practiced removing the bars once installed and found the Skyline towers easy to use just as my old control towers were. Then came the test drive to answer the noise question. I drove around town and on the interstate up to 75 MPH. I was pleasantly surprised there was no more wind noise than with my factory crossbars. I have used Thule square bars and Yakima round bars for years and was never able to use them without a fairing. Perhaps wind noise may vary for different vehicles and I can only speak for the Subaru Outback. I am finally free of the fairing and recommend this quiet and sturdy roof system.
Review: Aerodynamic and sturdy! Works well with kayak holders and other mounts. Sturdiness: Very strong and trustworthy on long trips

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this come with 1 or 2 bars?**
A: They come as a pair of bars.  Have a nice day!

**Q: Can you tell me which yakima towers these are compatible with? I need ones that attach to factory rails.**
A: I purchased the Yakima TimberLine Versatile Tower (4 Pack).  I have a 2015 subaru crosstrek w/ factory rails and it fit w/ no troubles.  I also purchased Yakima SKS Lock Cores for Yakima Rooftop Car Racks (2-Pack).  Hope this helps!

**Q: What width do you recommend for a 2017 honda crv**
A: Get the size recommended for your car, if you’re not sure, get the bigger ones and cut them to your liking.

**Q: how much weight  it can carry? thanks**
A: I recently put over 500LBS of 4x8 dry wall sheets. I drive a 2017 mini clubman. Got these aftermarket and directly drilled to the frame. Most newer cars can carry 4 times the load of their weight before collapsing. These are very strong and my roof is also very strong. I’m sure these could probably carry up to 1000LBS if the weight is properly distributed and secured. Most companies like to give a lower ratings for safety purposes and liability reasons. I always drive extra careful with heavy loads.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by A***R on 27 July 2024*

Attached them to our Subaru with Yakima brackets. Attached a roof basket and storage pod to them for a long road trip. Love the attention to detail on the cross bars with the rubber ton stip for attachments and the rubber bottom strip to help with sealing the units from rain and keeping them a bit more quiet when driving. Would highly recommend these. Good value for the cost.
