(More customer reviews)Yakima has done a great job with this skybox which apparently was upgraded in 2009. The casing is heavy duty enough so that the upper shell stays up when it is raised. The upper shell can be raised from either side. Cords are attached to the upper shell so that it is easy to lower. The locking handles on the sides are sturdy and work well. The attachment system is amazingly easy to use and sturdy--no need to use tools or thread bolts. Attaching it to cross bars is easy and quick. The unit stays on the cross bars securely and I did not notice any road noise (although my cross bars produce a hum). It mates with most cross bars. If you are comparing this with the Yakima Pro model, note that while the Pro costs a lot more, the only difference with the Pro is that you get two tone unit rather than an all black one and two accessories which you can order a la carte for a lot less (the cargo net, which I also bought and like) or can provide yourself (the bottom pad). The two units are functionally identical.

About Yakima Yakima has been dedicated to eradicating "rack envy" for more than 30 years. The company employs a ton of cyclists, campers, skiers, snowboarders, climbers, hikers, and kayakers, all of whom load up their car racks and take to the forests, slopes, and waterways every chance they get. This dedication helps Yakima come up with new ideas and inspirations each year. Ideas like, "Hey, let's make a snow mount you can operate with gloves on so we don't get a debilitating case of popsicle finder." Or, "Let's put padding and nets in our cargo boxes so gear doesn't rattle around like it's in a giant maraca." And, "Let's put integrated bottle openers on hitch-mount bike racks, since you can't carry one around while you're wearing spandex fancy pants." Boasting a legacy of innovation and quality, Yakima is headquartered in Beaverton, Oregon.
