Why this product
Same wide-clearance design as the FatCat EVO 6 but sized for 4 pairs of skis or 2 snowboards. At 12 lbs and a lower price, this is the right pick if you do not need the full 6-pair capacity. Glove-friendly button release, lockable. If your skis are under 136mm wide, the PowderHound or FreshTrack will save you money.

What the experts say
Hanna Leclair· Outdoor & Ski Editor
Hands-on testedThe FatCat EVO 4 justifies its premium price with one feature: width. At 136mm tip clearance, it handles the fattest powder skis without complaint. No other 4-pair rack can say that. The aerodynamic profile reduces noise compared to earlier FatCat generations. Tool-free mounting is quick.
Powder skiers with wide skis (120mm+), backcountry skiers with multiple fat ski pairs
Skiers with standard-width skis under 100mm — the PowderHound or FreshTrack cost less
If you ski on anything wider than all-mountain, the FatCat EVO is insurance against crushed tips. Worth the premium for serious powder skiers.
Tested on: 2024 Toyota 4Runner, 2023 Subaru Outback · 1 ski season
