But what if I want to haul more than one pair of skis? That’s the biggest question I’ve got for the latest in ski rack designs–the Raxstars ski rack. Simple in design and I’m sure solid in performance, the Raxstars ski rack is portable (it can fit in your glove box), lockable, simple and affordable (so long as you’re only carrying one pair of skis).
At a mere $24.95, it seems like a great option for on-the-fly ski carrying or slipping a pair of skis onto an otherwise-occupied set of crossbars, but the cost savings and ease-of-use quickly dissipate with each pair you wish to carry. Again, I don’t want to discount American ingenuity and entrepreneurship, but this has limited appeal considering the money and effort needed to carry 4 pairs of skis on a regular basis. I’d just fork over $120 and get the Thule Universal Flat-top 4 if it were up to me.
Here’s a Youtube Video demo of the Raxstars ski rack:
