Really is Waterproof!
By SWS
My wife and I purchased this product for a trip of 500 miles across Texas to go on the existing roof rack of our Toyota FJ Cruiser. It is advertised to fit most racks and it fit ours perfectly. I think we had more than 15 cubic feet of luggage, dog food, and bedding stuffed into it as we were also bringing our two huge dogs (no, they weren't in the carrier!). Loading was easy and the zippers worked fine. The only problem we had was adjusting the straps. It took forever to take them up the first time we tied it down, but on the return trip it went much easier. The strap configuration seems awkward, but possibly can be adjusted before loading, which I'll try next time.

On several reviews of similar products wind noise was mentioned, like it was to be expected, but we noticed NO noise even when driving 80mph through west Texas. The ties never loosened and the load was just as secure when we arrived as when we started. But the best thing about this product is that it REALLY IS WATERPROOF. We drove through 100 miles of pouring Gulf Coast rain on the trip home, the kind where cars on the interstate are driving 40mph with their flashers on and waiting under overpasses for it to slack up. I just knew that everything was going to be soaked when we got home. I was amazed to find that NOTHING got wet - not even damp. The design of the zipper compartment(with flaps closed by velcro) worked perfectly. We were very pleased considering that some of the similar carriers cost alot more than this one.

Worked Wonderfully - Don't hesitate to buy
By B. Thornhill
My family and I were making a trip to West Texas to see family for the Christmas break and needed the extra cargo room. I researched and researched these bags before I selected this one (I also considered the Rain-X 161040). After reading the reviews on the Rain-X 161040 and the problems with the zippers, I chose this product. I was not disappointed.

We own a 2007 Toyota Highlander with a roof rack and sun roof and this cargo bag fit perfectly. I was able to put a small duffel, large duffel, medium-small carry-on suitcase, a large box that measures (14" X 10" X 25") and a smaller box. I also put a few smaller items to help fill it up. In all, it held most of our actual luggage which allowed us to put all of the Christmas presents in the back. I will admit that our cargo bag was stuffed. In fact,there were a few places where the corners of the box rubbed pretty tightly against the cargo bag material. I was concerned that during the trip the bag would ri p due to friction and high winds. I was also concerned about the extreme cold causing the zipper to have issues (similar to the Rain-X 161040). We bought red bungee cords to help secure it, but after the trip up to Lubbock we realized it was wasted money - there was no need for the extra straps.

We had no troubles at all. The bag held up great, especially on the tight corners I mentioned. There was no sign of material wear. The zipper and other metal parts held up well in the extreme cold (well, extreme to us; 10 degrees F). The material is thicker than a typical rain tarp, but not so thick that its difficult to deal with. Zipping up the bag when it was full was not difficult. We didn't notice a big decrease in fuel economy. We typically get 22 MPG on the highway; with the bag, we got 21 MPG. We didn't notice any extra wind noise caused by the bag. I did forget to tie down the extra slack on one of the straps and it did flap a lot - but this was easily solved when we stopped for gas and I tied it down. After that, we didn't even know the bag was there. In fact, I kept catching myself looking at our shadow to ensure the bag was still up there. I do wish we had run into rain so that I could have tested the waterproof-ness of the product. Like others have said, it seems water proof. The zipper is protected by a flap (that velcro's over the zipper) that would prevent water from getting through the zipper. I have little doubt that it would have protected the items from water.

In all, I'm extremely happy with this bag. I like it because it held up in high winds and stores neatly in a small space in our garage. It's relatively inexpensive when you compare it to other models and easier to deal with than the hard shell cargo holders. It's quiet on the roof of our car and holds enough to help out when we travel to see family across the state. I'm glad that I made this purchase.

UPDATE (6/2/2010):
We finally used this on a trip that involved a heavy rain. Everything stayed dry. The rain was actually welcome as it washed the bugs off the carrier.

Good Product
By C. Cox
I drove across the US 2200 miles and used this for additional storage. It has a ton of space and I filled it all! It was very easy to attach to the roof of my SUV and stayed put the entire drive. The only down side to it was that when I was securing it to the top one of the straps broke so I just tied to the rack instead and had no problems. For the price it definitely gave me a great deal more storage.
