Rightline Gear Snowboard

Frequently Asked Questions

• Which Rightline Gear roof-mounted option is best for carrying multiple snowboards?

  The Rightline Gear Sport 2 Car Top Carrier is designed for higher-volume loads — it offers about 15 cu. ft. of space (42 x 34 x 18 in) and comes with straps, clips, and a stuff sack. Its 100% waterproof PVC shell with welded seams and a SZIP™ no‑flap zipper protects gear from snow and road spray and the aerodynamic shape suits SUVs and minivans; for fewer boards or a low‑profile setup the Non‑Skid Roof Pad protects the roof and prevents shifting without enclosing gear.
• How does the Sport 2 Car Top Carrier compare to the Non‑Skid Roof Pad for transporting snowboards?

  The Sport 2 is a fully enclosed, waterproof PVC carrier with welded seams and a SZIP™ zipper, offering more protection and capacity for multiple boards and wet conditions. The Non‑Skid Roof Pad is a low‑profile, cuttable pad that prevents boards from shifting directly on the roof and is better when you want a simpler, lighter solution. Choose Sport 2 for weatherproof hauling and volume, or the pad for a minimal, vehicle‑friendly option.
• Will the Moki Door Step fit my vehicle and make loading rooftop snowboards easier?

  The Moki Door Step attaches to most standard door latch points and provides an extended platform for a two‑footed stance, making it easier to reach and strap rooftop carriers. It includes rubber bumpers and a coated hook to protect paint and a bright‑orange powder‑coated body for visibility. Verify your vehicle’s latch type before purchase to ensure compatibility.
• What materials and construction features protect snowboards from weather and road abrasion?

  Rightline Gear uses waterproof PVC shells, welded seams, and SZIP™ no‑flap zippers on carriers like the Sport 2 to keep moisture out, while UV‑protected semi‑coated PVC mesh resists sun damage. Non‑skid pads use textured surfaces to prevent shifting, and accessories add rubber bumpers and coated hooks to avoid scratching vehicle surfaces. These materials and construction choices prioritize durability and protection against snow, road spray, and abrasion.
• How do I choose the right size and setup for my vehicle and snowboard load?

  Match carrier volume and footprint to your roof space and the number of boards: the Sport 2 measures about 42 x 34 x 18 in and holds roughly 15 cu. ft., while the Non‑Skid Roof Pad is a 34‑inch cuttable pad for custom fits. Consider vehicle type (SUVs and minivans pair well with aerodynamic carriers), your roof’s weight limit, and whether you need full weatherproofing or a low‑profile solution, and always use the included straps, clips, and hardware for secure mounting. If you frequently haul multiple boards in wet conditions, opt for a welded‑seam, waterproof carrier.
