This top box is really well made, great for anything like camping gear and skiing stuff. Really chuffed with it! (Posted on 10/06/2011)

I ordered the Thule Excellence roof box from Carracks last year and I've used it for two ski holidays in Italy and a camping trip in the UK thus far.
Firstly I would like to say that the delivery service was incredibly fast to get the box to me, ordered on Monday afternoon and got the roof box on Tuesday morning next day!
Carracks staff were really helpful in getting me the right box for the job, my ski's are specialist carving ski's which are slightly curved and need a bit more space (box is 205 cm's interior length from memory).
The Excellence box itself is on the higher price bracket, but you get exactly what you pay for in my experience. The clamping grippers used to secure the box down, make fitting the box so quick and easy. They start to click once the grippers are tight so you know when everything is secure.

The most important feature of the Excellence for me was the dual side opening and its strength. Skiing in Italy the second time was very windy, with loads of snow but the lid stayed firm and was easy to open and close. Dual side opening means that you can pull over in a lay-by next to the road and open the lid in relative safety to get out whatever you need.

I could go on all day about how good the Excellence is, I rate this roof box very highly and the service I received. Thanks. (Posted on 06/04/2011)
