    Comments about Yakima SkyBox Pro 21 Roof Box:

    We had a 16 ft3 Yakima Rocket Box that was stuffed full on camping trips, and hoped the 21 ft3 Sky Box Pro would make packing easier. Well, I've noticed little difference and had to get a tape measure to make sure we actually got the right box. Perhaps I need to pack more efficiently, or maybe Yakima was a little optimistic on their volume specification. If you're upgrading from a smaller box, measure your current box and compare carefully to the Sky Box Pro so you know exactly how the extra cubic inches are distributed.

    The new clamp mechanism is great. It is very easy to attach this box to my factory cross bars, and I no longer need to insert screws from underneath the box while reaching inside the box to secure them...which was painstaking. I also like being able to open the box from either the right or left side, although I don't think the box opens quite as wide as my Rocket Box.

    The one-handed closure is convenient, but there's room for improvement. A good amount of force is needed to release the closure. Anyone can do it, but sometimes you wonder if the closure is locked, or if you simply must apply more force. One of the two closures on my box failed so REI is replacing the box. Hopefully, this is an isolated problem.

    I also find that it is nearly impossible, or at least, very difficult, to remove the key from the locking core unless the box is locked. This is inconvenient because you don't want your key (or keyring) dangling from the lock whenever the unit is unlocked. I wish you could remove your key, regardless of whether the box is locked or unlocked.

    The Sky Box Pro is noticeably more aerodynamic than the Rocket Box. With the Rocket Box, I could "feel" that the box was attached to the vehicle when driving on the highway. However, with the Sky Box Pro attached, it feels the same as if the box is not on the vehicle.

    The finish of the Sky Box Pro is smooth and not textured. While the improved aerodynamics do not reduce the number of smashed bugs that cover the face of the box, it does it make it much easier to clean them off without any residue.

      Comments about Yakima SkyBox Pro 21 Roof Box:

      We purchased the new SkyBox Pro 21 in Mar '09. It is the best cargo box we have owned and is outstanding in every respect. Three keys to this cargo box that make it stand out: (1)excellent latch/lock system, (2)ease of installation with quick clamps and (3)durablility. We use it primarily for skiing and have travelled from the Midwest to the West on two occassions with the SkyBox Pro 21. It is aerodynamic and we noticed very little wind noise. Highly recommend.
