Enjoy a slim, low-profile shape with medium capacity that swallows skis, beach gear, or camping essentials while keeping garage clearance in check. It's quiet on the interstate and simple to install, with hardware that works on aero crossbars and even a platform-style rack. A smart pick when you want added space without extra bulk or noise.
Yes, interior space is smaller than the outside footprint. For example, an outside size of 72-7/8" long x 34-1/4" wide x 12" tall may have inside dimensions around 65-3/4" long x 30-1/4" wide x 11-1/2" tall. Confirm whether listed specs are exterior or interior, and compare the inner length to your ski or gear length.
Setup is generally straightforward and quick. Lifting the box onto the roof can be awkward solo, so a helper or a step stool makes it easier. These boxes mount to aero crossbars and even platform-style racks. If you're shorter, attach the front mounts from a door opening and use a step stool for the rear.
They're designed to be low profile, which helps with low garage clearance and can reduce wind noise. Drivers reported no noticeable noise on the interstate and were able to pull into a garage with the box installed. Measure your vehicle height with bars and box, and position the box to balance clearance and access.
Yes, medium low-profile boxes can handle both. We've seen at least three pairs of 177 cm skis fit when loaded end-to-end in an 11 cu ft low-profile design. They also work for camping gear and beach loads like 3-4 beach chairs around 25" wide, plus bags. Check your item lengths and widths against the box's inner dimensions and shape.
Mock it up before tightening everything down. Some mounts fit a crossbar spread of 24" - 35-1/2", and the hooks can slide forward/back in the installation slots to fine-tune placement. Open the rear glass slowly to confirm it clears the back of the box; adjust bar position or box overhang if it's close.
