If you’re one of us that enjoys getting in your car and heading out into the woods on the weekend, or after work, you’ve likely found yourself piling extra gear into the Subaru. Things like shovels, jacks, extra fuel, and recovery gear are a must. But they can all create some undesired issues for us. Here’s a few basic reasons why you should be using a roof basket:

• Ability to safely store extra fuel outside of the vehicle
• Reduce the risk of loose items causing serious injury in the event of a collision
• Avoid ruining your vehicle’s interior with dirty gear, or tools that might damage the upholstery
• Increase your Subaru’s cargo space so that your ride is much more comfortable
• Some folks really just enjoy the way the rack looks
