Eco Factor: Rooftop cargo box made from sustainable materials.
Carrying excessive camping gear is always a problem, especially if you don’t want to spoil the look of your car by tying those fold-up tents to the roof rails. Yakima has launched a feasible solution, which will add a few extra inches to your car’s height, but will make sure it doesn’t look dumb. Dubbed the Yakima SkyBox LoPro, the system gives ample space to store anything from luggage to skis and even surfing boards.
Made from 50% recycled materials, the storage box features a low-profile aerodynamic shape, which reduces drag and cuts wind noise. It is also equipped with a solar panel that powers a few lights incorporated inside the compartment. The Yakima SkyBox LoPro retails for $1000.
The Dark Side:
Apart from the hefty price tag, the storage box does seem great for all eco-minded camping lovers.
