The Thule SnowPack Ski & Snowboard Carrier, part # TH7326clamps is a universal fit for most crossbars.

The enclosed photo shows this carrier mounted to Thule AeroBlade crossbars that measure 3-1/8 x 1-1/8 inches. You can measure the crossbars on your 2015 Subaru Outback Wagon and see if the crossbars are the dimensions of the AeroBlade or less. If so, this carrier should work well for you.
