UV? On the drive to the put in? Give me a break.

For some trips, the put-in is days away. I know some folks who leave
their stuff on the roof of the car for days at a time in the driveway.

And those trips are days long, right?

Anybody who can't be bothered to unpack for days at a time deserves
whatever they get. Now we should be talking theft, not UV.

In any case, is UV much of a problem for fiberglass, carbon, and wood
paddles?

LOL. Reminds me of my mother worrying that our furniture will fade without
drapes. Some people just can't find enough things to worry about. It's
amazing how a recreation can become obsessive fussing.

Hmmm - Speaks of mother he does. What would Freud call it? The Oedipus
complex, that's it. No that's not it, Oedipus loved his mother, hated
his father. KMAN on the other hand ridicules his mother for her
apparent worship of material positions, and hence the transposed
aggression to anyone who shows the slightest propensity towards
eliminative materialism. But wait, wasn't that the outcome of what
Freud was talking about when he said "Every new arrival on this planet
is faced by the task of mastering the Oedipus complex; anyone who
fails to do so falls a victim to neurosis." (Sigmund Freud, Three
Essays on the Theory of Sexuality (1905) SE, Volume Seven (London:
Hogarth Press, 1953), p. 226.) And we all know to what else that
failure leads.



So much for the fun stuff, lighten up. If the OP wants to protect the
paddle from UV, road grim, rock chips or even bird sh_t what of it. If
you think it's foolish fine. Don't bother to contribute. BTW sunlight
will fade furniture, upholstery, carpet and anything else not suitably
protected, even little children left out in the sun too long by their
mothers, who were too busy obsessing over the furniture. ;)

How about keeping them in side the car?

Drew, the most inexpensive paddle bags I know of aren't paddle bags,
they are gun socks or ski-snowboard bags.

You can pick up a Remington gunsock for less than $5 at Wally-mart. Ski
bags or snow board bags are a little trickier, but if you bide your
time you can usually find them on end-of-season clearance for $10 - $15.

Any suggestion on what to use to tie the (paddles/skibag) to the rack ?

They're called Velcro cinch straps, just don't use shock cord.

Velcro loosens up in wet conditions. Rain and road vibration - not a
combination I'd want with this.

It nevertheless amazes me that someone would fuss over paddling equipment
left in the sun for a day or two! So it might fade to some indescernable
degree. Sheesh. Why get it wet! Something might develop a rust stain!
