Maximum ski and snowboard lengths are approximate and may vary depending on bindings and packing configuration.

Which Roof Box Is Right for Me?

Here’s a basic breakdown of which roof box you’ll need for what.

Best for Weekend Trips

If you're carrying luggage, kids' gear or shorter skis and snowboards, the GearBox M provides plenty of storage while maintaining a compact footprint on your vehicle.

Best All-Rounder

For most families, skiers and snowboarders, the GearBox L and SkyBox NX L offer the ideal balance of cargo capacity and versatility.

Best for Long Skis and Family Holidays

If you're travelling with longer skis, bulky camping equipment or packing for multiple people, the GearBox XXL and SkyBox NX XL provide maximum storage capacity and longer internal dimensions.

Why Choose a Yakima Roof Box?

Dual-Side Opening

Access your gear from either side of the vehicle, making loading and unloading easier wherever your adventure takes you.

Secure Storage

Integrated locks and internal tie-down points help keep your gear secure, organised and protected while travelling.

Built for Adventure

Aerodynamic, durable and designed for years of road trips, camping weekends and snow escapes.

SkyBox NX Exclusive Features

The SkyBox NX features a self-limiting torque knob that clicks when the box is securely mounted, providing simple, worry-free installation. Once fitted, the knob can be removed, creating a flatter interior floor and giving you more usable storage space.

Why use a roof box?

• Keeps wet or bulky gear out of the cabin
• Frees up space for passengers and pets
• Secure, weather-resistant storage
• Perfect for snow trips, camping, road trips and everyday adventures

Before You Buy

Roof boxes require a compatible roof rack system and must be installed within your vehicle's roof load limits and hatch clearance. Always check your vehicle owner’s manual before loading. 

Check the minimum and maximum bar spread dimensions of the roof box also to ensure it will fit on your vehicle. 

Need roof racks too? Yakima offers a complete range of vehicle-specific roof rack systems available through Repco.
