Yakima FatCat Evo 6 black - ski and board carrier with roof bars

This superb ski carrier and bars package deal provides everything you need for a fixed price, including (where possible) locking roof bars. All you need to do is to click on "Select package" to place your order; we'll then show you which roof bars are available. You'll pay more for aluminium than steel, and you'll pay more for Atera, Thule, or Whispbar, but the savings on buying the components individually are huge.

The thick rubbers protect your skis. When closed, the rubber pad on the top bar fits into the rubber on the bottom bar giving it a tighter fit and making it much more low-profile than other ski carriers. This improves aerodynamics and wind noise. It's lockable and fits virtually all roof bars.

Features include:

• 80cm loading width for up to 6 pairs of skis (up to 136 mm wide at the tip) or 4 snowboards.
• Metallic black finish and low-profile design
• SmartFlex (spring loaded) hinge system expands to accommodate the thickest skis and snowboards
• Offset option of the bar fittings allow you to fit the rack overhanging the roof bar feet
• Locks the skis to carrier
• Locks the ski carrier to the bars
• Extra large push-button to open and close - easy to use even with ski gloves on
• 'Snap-around' mountings fit virtually all roof bars (fits bars up to 88mm wide x 44mm deep)
• Optional T-track aluminium bar adapters are also available

Delivery FAQs

When will my order arrive?
There are no deliveries on Saturdays, Sundays or Bank Holidays, except for postable items where Royal Mail has a Saturday delivery. Express Delivery orders placed on a Friday (before 1pm) should be delivered on the Monday or Tuesday, Express Delivery orders placed on a Saturday or Sunday should be delivered on the Tuesday or Wednesday. The arrangements for Very Heavy Items are different and are shown above.

What about Next Working Day delivery?
Most Express delivery orders will arrive on the next working day, if the order is placed before the cut-off time (see above). Some will arrive on the second working day if there has been a "split-delivery". So-called “split deliveries” happen when the couriers do not have enough trailer space for everything that should be moved around the UK, so they will load what they can and leave the rest for the next trailer.

Is my delivery day guaranteed?
No retailer or courier company can ever "guarantee" a Next Working Day delivery. As well as split deliveries, all courier companies occasionally have the same transport problems as can happen to everyone else, including snow blocked roads, closed roads, traffic jams, mechanical breakdown, an inability to find the delivery address, or to gain access to it if, for example, it's in a block of flats. We work with some of the best couriers in the business, and overall they provide an outstanding service.

Do I need to be at home?
We are very flexible with our deliveries and will aim to deliver to an address which suits you – this does not need to be your home address. Goods can usually be left without signature - we prefer this with roof boxes. There's a "Special Delivery Instructions" box in the checkout area where we'll ask you to choose a typical instruction and then amend it to suit your particular requirements.

Payment options:

We take the following cards, and also PayPal. Please note that the entry on your card statement will be from "The Roof Box Company".

Estimates for the maximum number of skis a rack will carry are for traditional skis, not carving skis. As carving skis are wider than standard skis you might not be able to carry the maximum number in this carrier, often one pair less. Check the loading width of the ski carrier (see the specifications tab) against your skis to be sure.
