It’s a really minor nitpick as everything you want to load will probably fit through but it makes loading process slightly more complicated.įor the price it could feel sturdier but it’s plenty sturdy for its purposes. Larger things like suitcases will fit through it but getting them in is a bit more difficult than it would be if opening was wider. Yakima Skybox Carbonite opens from both sides however the opening is a bit small.

In fact for most consumers cargo box with storage capacity of 15 cubic feet is sufficient so consider how much of it you actually need so you don’t waste money buying bigger box than you actually need. You average sedan has around 15 cubic feet of trunk space and the largest version of Yakima Skybox offers 40% more storage capacity. In this review we will focus on the 21 cubic feet model but most things will apply to other sizes as well. All of them are technically pretty much identical to each other but dimensions and shapes slightly differ a bit (except 15 cubic feet model which is a lot flatter compared to others making it look like a completely different model). Yakima Skybox Carbonite is available in 5 sizes: 12, 15, 16, 18 and 21 cubic feet. Well that changes today as it’s time to find out how Yakima Skybox, the most popular model from the manufacturer compares to competition. We have reviewed Thule cargo boxes in the past but no Yakima ones. If someone who knows a thing or two about car cargo boxes finds out you are looking for one chances are he will either suggest Thule or Yakima.
