Yakima - JetStream Bar Aerodynamic Crossbars for Roof Rack Systems

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.

Great colour great packaging no wind noise after install doesn’t scratch very easy either I noticed, only been using a month, if no update it’s still 5 stars

Aerodynamic and sturdy! Works well with kayak holders and other mounts. Sturdiness: Very strong and trustworthy on long trips

Light, low noise. I bought it to load kayak rack. Works well

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.
