Thule Load Bars - 1 pair
Strong duh, but...
The one issue that we have is that it makes noise on our Volvo Cross Country XP when there's nothing on it and we're driving above ~60mph.
Solid
When I went to pick up the canoe from the store, the guy helping me commented "nice rack - I wish we sold those here". I'm assuming that wasn't a pick-up line. Once these bars were on the roof, I was convinced that if I was involved in a rollover accident, these bars would be one of just a few things left on the frame of the car. Solid feel and easy to install - two thumbs up.
Thule Load Bars
I've had an old set of Thule load bars for about 6 years now, and they have held up very well, just a bit of rusting around areas where the coating scraped off, but I recently bought a set of new bars. Much thicker and the coating is much, much better, and these bars are really heavy duty - can't go wrong with these. I like the rectangle shape better than the Yakima round shape simply because nothing will "slip" on a square pole. Two thumbs up Thule!

Good bars, Just drove 1000 miles with two 15 foot Kayaks on my roof. Did I mention I drove 80MPH in some sections and hit some of nastiest roads Baja had to offer, and not a single problem. Great investment. The Thule package, mounts,bars,and kayak cradles can't be beat.
What can I say?
They're just load bars. But they're easy to install, work well and I like em. End of story!
