Kayaks in freezing weather

So does anyone have any experience in transporting the kayaks in freezing weather.  Like let's say 10 deg F.

Seems like at some point the plastic would get brittle and I would be risking some type of catastrophic hull/equipment failure if I had it tightened down on the racks...or worse, on the water....

Didn't appear to be much on the subject at first glance on the web...

Try calling the manufacturer of your kayak and see what they have to say.  Another idea that comes to mind would be a kayak cover. Of course that won't help you out on the water. Anyways, that's all I got.

Good luck!

You don't really need to cinch the straps super tight like your tying down a load of lumber or something, just dont want the straps to loosen to the point of falling off. normally the hull gets wider in either direction so slippagge is not a huge issue.

Can't help ya on the coldness, haven't felt 10 degrees in forever..ouch!

this is a good question.  I might run into this problem here in a couple months.....

This might help.
