It depends on how much stuff you want to carry. There are many boxes that will fit the factory crossbars on your 2014 Subaru Outback Wagon.

If you need a lot of cargo space I recommend a big box such as the Thule Motion 22, # TH6299B. It has 22 cubic feet of storage space.

Most Thule boxes have a claw-like mounting system which is easy to use. As far as looks and style, the new generation of Thule boxes are very sleek and modern.
