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

Needed a rack that would mount to Nissan Xterra OEM crossbars - you know, the ones that are unnecessarily wide. This one did! With the adjustable clamp set at it's widest setting. Another name-brand rack with flexible rubber straps that I had previously purchased and subsequently returned were not long enough. Install was easy, clamped tight and held skis secure. Some wind-noise at 70-75 mph as the design isn't as aerodynamic as others, but just a minor annoyance. I would recommend.

Can’t beat this at the price point. Easy to install and does exactly what is intended. Easy to remove at the end of season as well. My gear was firmly locked in place , even at highway speeds. Minimal losses in mpg.

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.

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.

They work great as expected

Don’t buy this. Period. The locks don’t work. Install was easy. I was really happy until I put the boards in, locked the rack, and then I was able to open it with hardly any effort. Now I am concerned it’s going to open while driving. Super disappoint. Also, I bought last season and installed this season- “outside the warranty.” I wanted Yakima for the “quality.” Now I have to contact them directly and beg for a replacement. Super disappointed. Skip this rack.

We purchased this rack the beginning of winter and let's just say it's held up through a couple of mishaps. The 2nd time we used it, we were in the driveway and the kids were removing their snowboards. Silly me, I assumed they closed the rack so that I can pull into the garage. I start to pull in and next thing I know, we hear a loud noise. I get out and see the boys didn't put the rack down and so both racks were sticking up when I went into the garage. Of course, I'm freaking out thinking it's damaged and unusable. My husband looked it over and said it seems to be ok. The 3rd time we used it, I'm freaking out thinking the rack is going to fly off but thankfully it held up. Phewww. We ended up having to replace our garage door opener since it died. The new opener was put in and for some reason, when I was pulling in, the sensor acted up and the garage door started to go down onto my roof while I was pulling in. Crash it goes.. Yup I broke our garage door (we had to replace it) but you know what saved my car, the roof rack. LOL. Yup the roof rack held up through both mishaps. So needless to say, this item is sturdy and reliable. :o)

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.

Highly recommend. Mounted on 2021 Tesla model Y. Excellent ski mount
