Ski Roof Box Review

The roofbox is back with one aim.

Ski roof box review.

Reviewed in the united states on march 11 2016 this thule ski box was surprisingly easy to install on the top of my suv and comes with a very sleek aerodynamic design and a shiny black lacquer. Make sure that a roof rack is a good fit for your vehicle and your abilities because a roof rack isn t always the best solution. If you re on a road trip with frequent stop over s do you want to unload the soft box every time you park up for the night. No bullshit in depth ski reviews by ski bums for ski bums.

Every box in this review passed the rain and wind tests which were easy to account for in the eastern sierra in springtime but some had more questionable design features than others. Soft boxes can also be locked and are relatively tough but don t offer any where near the deterrence of a hard box. The box opens from both sides with a tapered tail to provide excellent tailgate clearance. In addition it s easy to install thanks to the easy snap mounting hardware.

Brands send us the sticks and we spend a solid chunk of our own seasons shredding them. The sportrack horizon cargo box is a cheap roof box for those who need high quality. While this may seem silly for many of us having a ski roof rack on a taller vehicle such as an suv or truck may mean that vertically challenged individuals among us cannot reach their skis. No sponsored athletes no we took 3 runs at a ski test.

We know you want to invest in a long lasting roof box that you can count on for countless future adventures so 25 percent of the overall score of each product was allotted to durability. Overall a great roof box for skis mixed use in the summer camping or whatever. Box comes with sks locks an intuitive push button latch to securely close the lid and internal lid stiffeners that bolster the box s overall strength and makes easy to open and close the lid. The closing locking mechanism is a bit awkward at first but end of the day is still perfectly usable.

It may take a minute to figure out but the actual process is simple.
