Roof Boxes: Short roofboxes
Short boxes continue to be very popular, but because they impose limitations on what else you can carry on the roof, and of course on the length of the goods being carried, they are generally the least 'family flexible' boxes that we sell. They also tend to have smaller capacities than the "Family roof boxes" we sell.
The Karrite Odyssey 325 and the Thule Ranger 90 can be fitted so as to leave space on the roof bars for one bike carrier. You'd need 120cm aerobars to fit a bike carrier next to the other Short Wide boxes.
Our favourite box in this category is the KAMEI Delphin 380, a regular prize winner and part of the unbeatable Delphin family - we don't know of boxes which are more secure, more waterproof, or overall easier to use.
