This is essentially a pair of flaps of flexible material that covers the zipper. It also has a very well designed Urethane coated zipper. It is constructed of semi-coated PVC and built with welded stitching to provide 100% waterproof protection. Our final product is another soft box, and like the others on the list it brings some useful features. It only comes in the one size however, so make sure it fits your vehicle before you purchase it. It’s also quite light, weighing in as just 28 pounds for a box that provides 18 cubic feet of storage. It fits on a wide range of racks of various sizes and shapes and the quick release mechanism is very useful too. The fact it opens to the rear is handy as you don’t have to potentially stand in traffic to reach inside – though make sure you don’t pack your baby’s spare pacifier right at the front of the box!

On the plus side, the ABS plastic body is pretty durable and provides both UV and Waterproof protection to your luggage. Whilst it tapers to a point it’s not quite as aerodynamic as some others on this list and the overall design and appearance is quite basic. You don’t get all the bells and whistles with this product though. This product from SportRack is at the cheaper bed of solid body boxes, and whilst it has a number of useful features (and is pretty big too) it is considerably cheaper than some other products on this list. A secure lock protects your luggage too, rounding off a pretty impressive list of features. The Quick-Grip mounting system is both tool free and very easy to use and, with a bit of practice, you can get the box on and off the car in about 5 minutes.

The box has tapers to a point and employs diamond textured aero skin to help it slice through the air and protect vehicle fuel economy. Depending on the size you get anything from 13 to 21 cubic feet of extra storage space which is very useful indeed. That is however pretty average for a higher end product in this category, so Thule aren’t ripping you off here.Įspecially when you consider what you get for that price. This is the higher end product from Thule, and so whilst it carries a range of useful features, it also has a high price tag that increases with the size of box.

They are so good in fact that – spoiler alert – this is the first of two Thule products that have found their way into our list. Thule is one of the best-regarded manufactures of cargo boxes out there right now.
