    Looks remarkably like a Thule 591 but cheaper…..

    Any real life experience?

    Yep, bought a pair a month ago from them on the same basis that it looked just like the Thule one.
    One works well, other the winder mechanism failed after the first use so has been sent back. Was collected FOC and waiting to hear back from them but hopefully just a duff one. Overall works well. The U brackets wouldn’t fit round my roof bars so had to fashion some long T nuts to fit them. If you’ve thin aero bars they’ll fit out of the box.
    I’d be happy to get another from them.

    I have Thule aero bars so it should fit OK.

    I might give one a try.
