" ... We bought this for my 2018 Outback and it is a terrific fit and great quality. ... "
" ... We fit ski's, a snowboard, snowshoes, helmets with room to spare! ... "
" ... It’s a great product that holds up well in a variety of environments. ... "
" ... Fits all my camping gear so I have more room for friends' gear in my trunk. ... good size so I can fit my kayak rack on my roof as well. ... "
" ... Originally, I was a bit torn between the 16 and the 18 for our 2015 BMW X5 35d M-sport, but ultimately I think that either box would have worked just fine. ... I really like the ability to adjust the sliding rack clamps forward and backwards by about 15" and for my set-up, I ultimately slid them all the way forward on the box. ... "
" ... - Holds a ton of gear for its size ... "
" ... The product is rugged and secure ... "
" ... Works good on 13 Jeep Grand Cherokee. ... "

" ... The only comment I have is on the lock/handles, they feel slightly cheap for the price of this item. ... "
" ... The product is rugged and secure ... "
" ... Much better than the soft-sided one we had for a couple of years. ... "
" ... For the course of this thing it should be much more reliable and sturdy ... "
" ... Great feature is the cover that can be opened and closed with one hand because it is more rigid. ... "
" ... It feels sturdy. ... Closing and locking it works nicely. ... "
" ... This item is strong and versatile. ... "
" ... But I wish I bought this Yakima Skybox a long time ago, it is far easier to secure to the vehicle, feels safer, holds more, and is quiet when driving highway speeds. ... "

" ... We’ve taken it on a 3000 mile trip and had zero issues with it. ... "
" ... We fit ski's, a snowboard, snowshoes, helmets with room to spare! ... "
" ... I used this for a month long road trip out west. ... "
" ... For our first family road trip, we were able to load FIVE rollerboard-style suitcases sideways inside the Skybox 16, and still had room for a duffle bag in the front (which is a bit more narrow), plus a few coats on top of the suitcases. ... Overall, I'm very pleased and would recommend this purchase highly to anyone considering a little extra stowage for those long road trips. ... "
" ... Just drove with this from Kentucky to Alaska in the winter and it's held up well. ... "
" ... Added the extra cargo space required for those long road trips. ... "
" ... After packing the Skybox 21 it left more room in the car and made our trip much more enjoyable. ... I first tested the Skybox 21 without anything in it for a week before the trip to see how my SUV would feel like with it on, with no change in how I drove, and had no issues. ... "
" ... A must have traveling long distances ... "

" ... Super easy to get on and off the van. ... "
" ... It is pretty light for the size and easy to install on the vehicle. ... "
" ... Putting it on the car was super easy. ... "
" ... The main selling point for me online was the "easy to use" Yakima latch (and key that wouldn't allow itself to be removed from the lock unless the box was closed securely). ... "
" ... Great cargo carrier, easy to install, easy to open, easy to access. ... "
" ... It is quite easy to attach to the racks and if you have some strength you can lift it up yourself onto the racks although it is certainly easier if you are two people. ... "
" ... Very simple process. ... "
" ... For something it's size, it was easy to install on the roof of my car. ... "
