I can tell you Yakima does not. I bought their "Carbonite " box for the Atlas, fortunately I got it at REI. The first one showed up cracked right out of the box. I got that replaced, and was pleased how light it was, but it did seem pretty flimsy. This week we had a windy day. Driving in slowly town, it got hit with a side blast and even though it was latched and locked it popped open and the lid was torn in half. Returned for refund.
They are proud of making it from 80% recycled plastic. It is thin brittle garbage. REI said they are all made that way.
The Thule with the smooth finish feels like a less brittle plastic. Our old Packasport would not hold much, but was indestructible fiberglass. Anyone have a recommendation? I'm looking for a half rack box, to leave room for a paddleboard next to it.
