Halfords 250L
Halford’s 250-litre roof box is inexpensive, yet still offers the key features buyers demand. The grey finish is less appealing than the more common black of other boxes, but it has a usefully tall body to help squeeze in larger items up to the maximum weight limit of 50kg.
ArtPlast Car Trunk
The honestly-titled Car Trunk by ArtPlast certainly looks the part with a carbonfibre-effect lid, even if it the price means it is actually made from tough polypropylene instead. There's 320 litres of space available inside, with the popular U-bracket fitment meaning it should attach to almost any roof bar arrangement with ease. At 11kg in weight, it's easy to handle too.
