Thule 688006 Ocean 80 Glossy Roof Box, Black, Size 80

Product Information

Each roof box will have a specified weight limit. You’ll want to ensure that this will be sufficient for your needs.

If you plan to travel a lot then I would recommend spending a bit more on your roof box. Not only will they tend to be more durable, they are also more likely to include features that may well be more useful i.e. one that you can load from both sides. How They Open Is it better, on the sportage, to have a shorter but wider roof box, or, a longer and thinner roof box? Obviously need to ensure the box does not overhang the windscreen, nor impede the opening of the boot. Car roof boxes are large, sturdy boxes that attach to the top of your car and provide secure, weather-proof storage for all types of gear. They free up passenger space and are available in a range of styles and sizes. If you still want to max out on your capacity with a shorter roof box they are then likely to be taller to compensate. Bear in mind this can also affect aerodynamics and negatively affect the gas mileage.

A range of sizes are available to suit your needs including the narrow design of the Ocean 600 allows for other roof mounted accessories to be fitted alongside such as a cycle carrier. All of the boxes in the Ocean range have a maximum load capacity of 50kg allowing you to get all your holiday gear in! This is one of their lower-end models, but still promises to offer the capacity, protection and ease of use that drivers need. Is this the case, or could Thule add more to this car roof box? The performance of this Thule Ocean model is pretty good, but there are still questions of the build and longevity.

The Ocean 200 is large. Huge in fact. However, despite its gargantuan size, the box is surprisingly lightweight. In fact it is only 14kg and its external size is 175 x 82 x 45 cm. Lifting it onto the roof bars can be easily done by one person, although the box can be easily scratched so we'd recommend using two people. The design and capacity of this Thule 688006 Ocean 80 Roof Box are a great starting point for the majority of users.The hard, solid exterior will protect any potential thieves from taking a knife to your box, something that is an advantage over the soft exterior of a roof bag. Compatibility With Your Car Short style roof boxes are good for smaller vehicles with a shorter roof. You need to ensure you box is sized correctly so it does not affect your line of sight or cause you to drive erratically. This is a purely subjective one and for something that has all the features you want along with the right capacity you might not be bothered with the aesthetics.
