I use my Dodge Hornet R/T as a daily driver during the week, but on weekends it's quickly becoming my escape car and I'm now realizing the factory cargo space doesn't cut it for the kind of stuff I throw at it. Started looking at roof rack options and stumbled across Omac. Price looks tempting compared to the Thule or Yakima setups, but I keep wondering if I'll regret going the budget route once I've got gear strapped on at 110 km/h to now end up being the guy on the highway watching a kayak cartwheel off the roof lol, It'll be such a sight
Need thoughts on the Omac and suggestions too
 
Omac is a solid choice if you're looking for a budget-friendly option, but be sure to check the weight limits and confirm that you're following the correct torque specs. When you're driving at highway speeds with equipment like kayaks, it's worth it to invest in good quality straps and tie-downs, no matter what brand of rack you use, safety is what really counts here
 
When it comes to roof racks or cases, there's a reason why Thule are expensive. The design is carefully tweaked so that they're aerodynamic, meaning the noise at highwway speeds are as low as they can be. If you're find with a bit more wind noise, then go for some of the affordable options.
 
Going budget with a roof rack like OMAC is often smarter than splurging on Thule or Yakima, most people overpay for brand prestige, while cheaper options perform just as well if installed correctly
