The Yakima SkyBox NX16 is a 453 litre hard shell roof box in a textured nano finish that hides dust, fingerprints and light scratches far better than gloss. Made in the USA, it opens from both sides, mounts tool free with a torque limiting knob and uses a full metal handle that locks the gear in and the box to the vehicle at the same time.

• 453 litres of capacity: the box measures roughly 192 by 89 by 41 cm externally and swallows luggage, camping kit or ski gear for a full car.


• NX nano texture finish: the textured surface on both lid and base disguises dirt and minor marks, keeping the box looking good for years.


• Dual side opening: the lid opens from either side of the car, which makes roadside loading safer and easier.


• Full metal locking handle: a single metal handle locks the contents inside and secures the box to the crossbars, with same key locks included.


• Torque limiting knob mounting: the removable knob delivers exactly the right clamp force and comes off once the box is fitted.


• Universal crossbar fit: the hardware suits Yakima StreamLine, round, square, aerodynamic and most factory bars, with a crossbar spread of 61 to 91 cm.


• Flat unobstructed floor: no fittings intrude into the load space, giving the box class leading usable volume for its size.


• Generous hatch clearance: the shape is designed to leave tailgates and hatches usable on most SUVs and estates.


• Ready in minutes: the box ships fully assembled, installs in around ten minutes, weighs 21,3 kg and carries skis up to 175 cm.
