Yakima Ski & Snowboard Car Roof Rack, Fits 6 Ski Pairs or 4 Boards, PowderHound 6 - for Reliable & Secure Transport, Compatible with Yakima Crossbars

Top tier function and quality. Installed easily and served its purpose so I didn’t lose my snowboard.I’ve used other brands and those were returned because of subpar design, quality, and functionality.

I was in between these and thule ski racks. Yakima’s were half the price and seemed pretty good for my needs. I got them, installation was a breeze, use even more practical, fits 2 sets of skis easily. I loved them for a month then went into a car accident where I lost the keys. The racks were absolutely fine (they endured a car accident where the car was totaled) so I installed them to a new car. I realized the keys were lost and reached out to the company to see if they can send second pair of keys. Within 3 days I received my additional keys. They didn’t have to provide that yet they still did, lovely people really.

Easy install and very secure for long travels.We also bought a set for our boys car at college.

Overview:When this product arrived, I got very excited to use it. I mostly use it at the end of the day to avoid snow melting in my car and getting everything wet. Product looks durable, well made, and a sleek design.Pros:Fits lots of skis and snowboards!Easy to clip and unclip with the convenience of locking.Securely hold the gear without any movement.Cons:Slight wind noise but not terrible.Unable to lock the rack to my car rack. I would love a latch where I could you my own padlock to prevent theft.The screws a very long but I understand why. It is just annoying to take the rack on and off.Conclusion:Worth the purchase? Yes, but there are some things I would like to improve.

This is my second purchase of this ski rack. Loved the first one but my wife accidentally drove off without properly securing her skis and broke the previous rack. This rack works very well and is easy to install and remove.

It felt like really cheap plastic and it kept popping up while I was driving which is not what you want when you have skis on your roof. I returned it. I live in Montana and I've seen other people with the same item and they're driving down the road with their ski clamps open not knowing it because they just pop. Usually Yakima makes the best products, but this is not one of them. I have their kayak racks and they are fantastic. I think there's a design flaw in their ski racks so I can't recommend buying this

This rack is easy to install and very stable. Have not had any issues with it. Vendor shipped it and it arrived on time as promised.

I was very hesitant to buy these because of all of the bad reviews regarding the noise, but I also didn't want to pay $200 more for the "better" brand.The wind noise caused by the racks is minimal IF you have skis or snowboards in them. I drove 4 and a half hours to Mammoth this weekend, going 90+ mph at times with no issues with the noise. BUT, when the racks are empty, the wind noise becomes very noticeable after reaching around 60 mph. I think this is because the skis create a gap in the racks for air to pass through, significantly lessening the noise.Just take the racks off when you're not using them. It takes less than 20 minutes to install/uninstall.
