The overall look is ultra-aerodynamic but is really designed to reduce drag. Yakima has been in the roof box game for a long time, so this refinement in style and function comes as no big surprise. Quality roof boxes like the SkyBox series from Yakima won’t come cheap. But once you discover the joys of extra cargo space, where no gear gets left behind (and no children are crying) and you hit the road with that confidence and stress-free departure, the value of owning one makes a lot of sense. While I haven’t tested Yakima’s entire lineup of roof boxes, like the premium CBX, I can say the SkyBox ticks all the boxes - it’s secure on the road void of any annoying wind noise, surprisingly stows more than enough extra gear, isn’t heavy at all, is easy to install and remove, actually looks really nice and refined on any SUV’s roof, and is priced reasonably for all the advantages if offers. Just make sure you have enough space to store it when not in use.ĭesigned and produced in the USA with up to 80% recycled material, the SkyBox 16 Carbonite currently sells for $849.99 on Yakima’s website, and comes with a limited lifetime warranty.LOW STOCK - PLEASE CHECK IN STORE BEFORE PURCHASING OR FOR ONLINE ORDERS CONTACT US HERE Whether it’s a sedan with a few snowboards up top, or a full-size SUV seeking all the extra cargo space it can get, Yakima offers a wide range of products at a low, medium, and premium price points.
