Product Description
The Thule Vector Alpine Roof Mounted Cargo Box is positioned at the premium end of Thule’s roof box range, combining a sleek, low-profile shape with carefully considered usability features. It is particularly well suited to customers looking for a refined roof box for ski trips, touring, road trips and everyday additional luggage capacity without compromising the overall appearance of the vehicle.
With a 380-litre volume, the Vector Alpine offers practical storage while maintaining a streamlined profile. Its long internal format makes it especially suited to winter sports equipment, with capacity for skis up to 200cm in length, approximately 4–6 pairs of skis or 3–5 snowboards.
Thule has focused heavily on ease of use. The dual-side opening design allows loading and unloading from either side of the car, while the reinforced lid is designed to open and close smoothly. Inside, the roof box features a white-coloured lid interior, integrated LED lighting and a felt-lined base, making the interior easier to use in poor light while giving the box a more premium, protective finish.
Mounting is handled through Thule’s PowerClick system, which uses an integrated torque indicator to click once the box is correctly secured to the roof bars. The SlideLock locking system separates the opening and locking functions, automatically securing the lid in place and providing a clear indication that the box is properly closed.
The Vector Alpine is also designed to sit further forward on the vehicle roof, helping minimise the risk of contact with an open tailgate on compatible vehicles. Thule provides a hatch clearance measurement of greater than 1373mm from the front roof rack crossbar to the hatch line as a fit reference, although customers should always verify compatibility for their specific vehicle and roof bar setup.
Available in Black Metallic and Titan Matte, the Thule Vector Alpine is an excellent choice for customers seeking a premium cargo box that balances luggage practicality, winter sports capability and an especially polished finish.

Important Notice
Roof box compatibility depends on the vehicle, roof bar system, available hatch clearance and the vehicle manufacturer’s permitted roof load. Customers should check their vehicle roof load limit, roof bar load capacity and cargo box compatibility before purchase.
Thule specifies that the Vector Alpine requires a front clearance measurement greater than 1373mm to minimise the risk of contact with the rear hatch when opened. Customers using Thule SlideBar or Thule Caprock systems will require the relevant adapters noted in the specifications.
ABOUT US
ABOUT US
Last updated: December 11, 2025
Hi, I'm George — and with me in the picture is Ella. This was taken near the top of Ben Hope, the most northerly Munro in the UK!
GOTCHU was built from a simple belief that great adventures deserve great equipment & the right gear can completely change your experience outdoors.
After many trips exploring the UK — from the rugged coastline of northern Scotland to the vast landscapes of the Highlands — sometimes with the right gear and ofter with the wrong gear. We realised finding equipment that was reliable, well-designed, and genuinely built for real-world adventure wasn't always straightforward. So we decided to build a place that focused on exactly that.
Who’s Behind GOTCHU?
Well, Us! We’re outdoor enthusiasts first — the business simply grew from that passion.
Whether it's hiking remote trails, exploring the NC500, camping on the coast, or chasing views in the Highlands, adventure is a big part of our lives.
The experiences we’ve had outdoors shapes the products we choose to sell.
If it isn’t something we’d trust on our own trips, it doesn’t make it onto the site.
This hands-on approach means every product is chosen with intention — focusing on durability, usability, and performance where it actually matters.
Why We Started GOTCHU
We noticed that a lot of outdoor gear retailers had become either; mass-market catalogue stores or overly niche boutiques — We wanted something in between.
A place where you could confidently buy equipment knowing it had been carefully selected, properly sourced, and backed by people who actually use it.
We’ve curated a wide range of outdoor products in one place so you don’t have to jump between multiple websites.
And if you ever feel like a product is missing or would make a great addition to the store — please reach out and let us know.
Our Approach
We work closely with UK-based manufacturers, distributors, and specialist suppliers to source equipment that meets our expectations for:
- durability
- performance
- usability
Everything in our catalogue is selected deliberately.
Our goal isn’t to sell everything — it’s to sell the right things.
Equipment that earns its place on your next trip.
Adventure should be exciting — not stressful because your equipment lets you down.
That’s why we built GOTCHU.
Reliable gear.
Carefully chosen.
Backed by people who actually use it.
Trust us — we gotchu.
Every product we sell is something we’d happily take on our own trips.
GOTCHU Ltd is a small independent business built by two outdoor enthusiasts who believe great gear makes better adventures.
