Opinion: Great Design for a Price Point cargo box. If you are in the market for a well priced, stylish and well designed cargo box you should look at the Yakima Rocketbox Pro.
The box can open from either side with ease and closing it is a simple operation do to the box's rigidity and the well though out locking mechanism.
I prefer this to the lever system on the more expensive Skybox series. The Rocketbox Pro uses a push button to release the latches of the box after it is unlocked via the key. The locking mechanism it also straight forward, simple and effective. The box was on and ready to go within a few minutes. The Rocketbox Pro uses a simple oversized wing-nut to close the jaws of the clamp on to the crossbars.

Once assembled the box was a piece of cake to install to the cross bars. Not a big deal but it required the use of a little rubbing alcohol to clean it off. When the tape is removed a sticky residue is left behind on the box. The only challenge in the assembly process is that a lot of the parts are held to the box for shipping with masking tape. All kidding aside I am sure these are very important tips and none of them should be done at anytime.

Do look at the instruction manual as there are some awesome illustrations of what not to do with your new Rocketbox Pro, I will admit I did laugh at a few of them and they reminded me of the Flight Safety manual on Fight Club. Arrow shaped clips which are labeled with the corresponding letter allow you to get the box together with barely a glance at the well illustrated instruction manual. Yakima has made this task as simple as possible. The box does require a bit of assembly out of the box. The 24" width left more than enough room on my crossbars to keep my FatCat 4 ski rack on the other side, giving me both options for my equipment and added capacity/storage. Boasting a cargo capacity of 11 cubic feet and measuring 89" L x 24" W x 16" H this box has all the space needed for a the entire families ski equipment or camping gear. This new model in the Yakima value priced, Rocketbox, line that has great styling and well thought out features. This season I have been using the newly redesigned Yakima Rocketbox Pro 11. Therefore, extra storage on the vehicle is always welcome. As the kids grow, so does all the equipment required for the recreation oriented life in the Sea to Sky corridor.
