Cargo Boxes – Where to Start?

A cargo box has year-round use for all of your adventures. This is the winter side of the saga.

Yakima cargo boxes are an excellent year-round gear-hauling phenom. They come in various lengths, widths, and styles to accommodate whatever excursion you set forth on. From week-long soccer tournaments, to cross country road trips. Holding up to the expansive paved roads crisscrossing the country to roads with limited access crisscrossing the backcountry.

To help narrow down what will work best for your year-round needs, we’ll break down which cargo rooftop boxes are best for skis and boards, lots of gear, and multi-sport disciplines.

REAL LIFE SCENARIOS

WE LOVE THE OUTDOORS

My partner and I love camping on summer weekends with our beloved Dog in toe. Come wintertime, you can catch us heading to the mountains for skiing and snowboarding with friends.

SKIING AND AESTHETICS

Resort skiing is my favorite winter activity. Not to mention I’m really into my car so I care about style and functionality. Living in a city means I frequently encounter parking garages.

NON-STOP FAMILY FUN

We have a super active family of five. Team sports all year, family trips to the beach, the lake house, campgrounds, and the mountains. For short, we have lots of stuff.

OFF THE GRID TRIPS

Fire roads, to BLM land, and anywhere else my truck can go. I like to go where nobody else is and I rely on my vehicle for rugged accessible gear storage and shelter.

The I literally do EVERYTHING

To some I have too much gear, for me, I could always use more. Most of my outings call for a boat and that gear, a bike, fishing rods, multi-day camping gear, and then some.

BUDGET FRIENDLY

I am on a budget but that doesn’t stop me from getting outside and on the road. My car is compact and I love camping and taking road trips around the country.
