The 'Twistboxes' are essentially rooftop cargo racks that are built around a steel base that works in conjunction with a padded and coated nylon body that is waterproof, ultraviolet-resistant and features 520 liters of cargo. When activated, this rooftop cargo rack can be used like a conventional hard-body rooftop storage solution. However, what's great about the 'Twistbox' is that it can literally be rolled up into a cylinder shape and stashed away when not in use, which represents a massive upgrade over the way that [conventional rooftop racks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mars-aeroblade) have to be dealt with. Currently the subject of a crowdfunding campaign, the 'Twistbox' rooftop cargo rack can be procured for a pledge of around $960.
