Compare Thule Spirit 780 and Dynamic M
Thule Spirit 780 and Thule Dynamic M are both car roof boxes with a load capacity of 75 kg and dual-side opening. However, the Spirit 780 has an internal volume of 380 L, which is larger than the Dynamic M with 320 L. In terms of ski capacity, the Spirit 780 can hold 8 pairs of skis (or 6 snowboards), while the Dynamic M can hold 7 pairs of skis (or 5 snowboards). The sizes also differ: Spirit 780 measures 196x78x33 cm, and Dynamic M measures 206x84x34 cm. Both boxes are made of plastic and have a lock for security.

Glossary
Internal capacity
The internal volume of the closed boot — boxing (see "Type").
Along with the load capacity (see above), this parameter determines the amount of cargo that can be placed in the boot. At the same time, we note that more load-bearing models generally have a more extensive interior space; however, products of a similar "weight category" may differ markedly in this indicator. And here it is worth proceeding from the fact that with the same allowable weight, a more voluminous boot is better suited for light and/or bulky goods, but it will have more weight, dimensions and price, and also (with a high probability) create additional resistance during movement, especially at high speed.
As for specific values, most modern boxes have a capacity in the range of 400 – 500 liters. A volume of 300 – 400 liters or less is considered relatively small, more than 500 liters — large.

Skis number
The number of pairs of skis for which the luggage rack is designed.
Note that such mounts are available not only in specialized models (see "Type") — boxes are also available with the possibility of transporting skis. As for the number of clamps, the skis take up relatively little space, so up to 4 inclusive is a relatively small number of pairs of skis for a modern boot. Models for 5 – 6, or even 7 – 8 pairs are noticeably more common, and in some products this number may exceed 8.

External dimensions (LxWxH)
Boot dimensions in working position; usually indicated for open models and boxes (see "Type"). The capacity of the product directly depends on this parameter, in particular, its suitability for transporting large items. And in the case of boxes, dimensions also affect aerodynamics: increasing the height or width increases drag and fuel consumption. At the same time, it should be noted that the aerodynamics of the container also largely depends on its shape.
For open boots, the height is most often not indicated — after all, its actual value usually depends not on the dimensions of the structure, but on the size of the cargo being transported.
