Abstract
A roof box for a vehicle, the roof box including a base portion with a load receiving area. The base portion is adapted to be positioned in the proximity of a roof of a vehicle. A closable lid or net is adapted to retain cargo on the load receiving area of the base portion. The base portion of the roof box includes a load stop. The load stop of the base portion effectively prevents, or at least reduces the risk of cargo, such as skis or the like, from penetrating through the roof box in case of a collision or crash.
