I’ve got the Thule Motion XT Alpine. It would be nice if it closed like a vault, but then again it would weigh 300 pounds.
No complaints here, and I’m not shy about expressing my dissatisfaction.
It’s fine.

I own a Thule and a Packasport. The Packasport is way better built.

I have owned and used both brands and have been happy with both. It is a matter of finding a shape and model that suits your needs. Lo-pro, wide, tail, there are many options. Aslo, think of what else you might use it for, like fishing poles and/or other season's activites.

I fully agree with this. I've also owned both, and both times my purchase has been driven by which brand offered the size and shape that suited my needs the best at the time. In the end, I've been happy with them both, and would continue to prioritize my needs over brand loyalty.

FYI,

No idea of quality or durability but Costco has this on sale through tomorrow. At least with Costco, they have a fairly liberal return policy: (do note they show both 50lb and 110lb capacity .. i suspect the later)

at $439, if on tight budget ...

^handsome box, and a decent price for open-both-sides access, but the website doesn't give dimensions

Big car or small box???
Looks like it'll be perfect for my 158 FIS SL. Though my 165 may be too long.

See: https://silverwingtrailers.com/product/swc16 for specs.
Interior Dimensions list length as 167 cm.
Small car and small box, it would appear.
