Comparing the Thule SnowPack and SnowSport Ski Carriers for a Subaru Outback

Published 10/08/2021

Question:

I have a 2015 Subaru Outback 3.6L. I have factory installed cross bars. I would describe them as aerodynamic oval. will the TH32WV fit my car. It seems like a bargin compared to TH7326b is that compatible to my 2015 outback? im pretty rough on products...am i better off spending a little more? and getting the 7326b. thanks

I checked with Thule and the Thule SnowPack Ski and Snowboard Carrier part # TH7326B is a confirmed fit for a Subaru Outback Wagon with factory roof rack. The Thule Snowsport Ski and Snowboard Carrier part TH32WV should have no problem fitting either. One difference is security, they both have keys to lock the skis inside the carrier but only the SnowPack allows you to lock the carrier to the rack. The SnowPack also has risers for tall bindings, a better clamping system, and an easier to use mounting system. The best one really comes down to your frequency of use and quality of skis, if you ski frequently and have nice skis you'd probably be better off investing in a nicer carrier, the SnowPack part # TH7326B.
