This is the "I want the biggest" department. Be warned that these boxes need two people to lift them, unless you are an experienced and strong box lifter. Also bear in mind that you'll get more capacity and more flexibility if you use 2 boxes - see below.
The KAMEI Husky was the well deserved winner of the last Auto Express roof boxes test - these boxes, available in black or in silver, are unbeatable value. We're also big supporters of the Thule Atlantis 900s (also in black or silver), but they've got very pricey this year.
The two downsides of Long Wide boxes are that (1) they're awkward to move about and store, and (2) they provide no flexibility for carrying other items unless your vehicle is unusually wide - which is why Long Medium-Wide boxes are so popular. But what's to stop you using two boxes: one for dirty and wet stuff, one for dry stuff? One for skis and boots, one for everything else? When you need to carry e.g. bikes or a windsurfer, just use one box. Please be sure not to exceed your maximum permitted roof load.
