Yakima FatCat 4

Yakima FatCat 4 description

As skis keep getting wider, standard racks just don't make the cut. The Yakima FatCat 4 roof rack holds two snowboards or four pairs of big pow skis in its massive jaws, so you don't have to cram them in your car. Yakima's low-profile mounting system works on round bars, square bars, and most factory roof racks. Thanks to an aerodynamic shape, the FatCat 4 won't wreck your gas mileage, and it won't make annoying whistling sounds as you cruise down the highway either.

Bought these for use during the '08 ski season. They've proven to be the best ski racks I've ever owned! I bought the Yakima Fat Cats to replace the Thule ski racks I used to own. After 4 seasons of listening to the Thule's jet engine-like wind noise at highway speeds, I had had enough. The Fat Cats are remarkably silent (even at 80mph mounted on a Jeep Grand Cherokee!) You dont even know they're up there - perfect. And they look great too! I would definitely recommend the Fat Cats if you've had enough of the Thule wind noise and are looking for great form and function in a ski rack.
