Yakima Big PowderHound 6-Ski Rooftop Carrier Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Big Powder Hound is a great rack for hauling multiple pairs of ski's or snowboards. Mounting was extremely quick & easy as well as being secure. Construction seems robust enough to last for a long time. I did add the sks locks & they have worked great as well. However I did have 1 lock freeze up on a particularly nasty day, might want to keep a can of spray on ice melter handy to deal with that possible issue.

Yakima FatCat 4-Ski Rooftop Carrier Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I owned the Yakima Big Powderhound racks before these and they created a bit of wind noise at speed. The Fatcat 6 has the same capacity and no noise!! They also look pretty cool on my vehicle.

Product Description:
The current trend in skis is just like the necktie trend in the '70s--they just keep getting fatter. That's why Yakima released the four-ski FatCat rooftop carrier, which is wide enough for four pairs of fat skis or two snowboards. The FatCat boasts a low-profile mounting system that works on round bars, square bars, and most factory roof racks right out of the box. The carrier's massive jaws and unique hinge system, meanwhile, hold your skis and boards comfortably and securely.
Thanks to the FatCat's aerodynamic shape, you won't suffer from poor gas mileage on the highway, nor will the carrier make annoying whistling sounds as you drive. Other details include an integrated SkiLift feature that easily clears tall bindings, rubber edging that's gentle on your gear, and SKS compatibility. The FatCat carries a one-year warranty.

Yakima Q Clip Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had the Q-tower system for a number of years, through three different vehicles.All in all a great rack system, except for two items:The cost of the little parts that you need to convert from one vehicle to the other are stratospheric! I really don't mind Yakima making their money on the big ticket items such as towers, boxes, etc. but the little adapter items should be priced more fairly.It seems to me that once you are locked into a Yakima system they fully intend to hose you on the little things.Too bad.Further, the Yakima website is a mess to try and find the specific little items and accessories that they intend on hosing you with!

Thule 724 Flat Top 4-Ski Rooftop Carrier Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I found this product to be a good solution for what I needed it to do--Carry my families ski's up to the slopes. There's not a lot of noise from wind aerodynamic issues, even at high speeds. It holds the skis firmly in place, and has a very easy to use open button & close snap. Although it may not be made of metal, it's sturdy enough that nothing moves in it.

This was by far a better option that several other systems I found, which offered too many parts & not a whole lot of value for the price they wanted. The factory installed ski rack which would have cost $300 was roughly the same size and was not as good a deal as this rack for my 2000 Dodge Durango.

In response to the previous two reviews, I must note a few corrections.

Firstly, the rack DOES hold two snowboards, I tested it with two of my friends snowboards on my last trip. In order for them to fit, one must face down and the other face up, one on top of the other. The individual who posted that it does not obviously didn't think to try stacking them.

Second, In response to the fact that the bar could simply be twisted--you're joking right? It would attract attention if an individual attempted to twist off the bar. On top of that, in order for them to twist off the bar, they would have to break the board/skis in the rack in the process, and that would defeat the purpose, would it not?

The only problem I had with this was the FM1 adapter which was required to install this carrier on my factory bars. The instructions for assembly didn't provide any information for any vehicles besides imports. (Domestic cars are out of luck since this is a Sweden based company!)

Thule 725 Flat Top Ski & Snowboard Racks 2011 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this rack, and I could have sworn that it said universal rack, but it did not fit on my factory installed rack.I later came to find that it is the 91725 rack that is universal, NOT the 725.I had to buy the adapters, and the rack seems to be working well, but it cost me an extra $30 for the additional parts.Make sure you check the part number and order the 91725 if you want the universal mount.If this rack does fit your car, it is very easy to install.
