Rooftop Cargo Carrier, PI Store Waterproof Car Roof Bag with Protective Mat, Extra 16 Cubic Foot Storage Carriers for All Cars with/Without Roof Racks, Gift for Men

This is my very first purchase of a cargo bag or any kind or cargo roof carrier. I've looked at cargo boxes vs cargo bags. I went with the bag due to the ease of set up, removal and stow away. I ordered the 16 Cubit Feet for our 2018 ford explorer. it was exactly what we needed. The product itself was great. It is exactly what they advertise. I was very happy with it. It is strong and definitely waterproof. Great quality materials and easy to fold after use. We drove over 1,000 miles this summer and the bag performed excellent. We drove in light and very very heavy rain and wind. And the bag protected our items. No rips, no noise on the road. Even driving over 75 MPH.... But I did notice a slight dip in our MPG as mentioned in other reviews of bags and cargo boxes. So that's nothing out of the ordinary. Although you don't need a roof rack but having a cross bar was very helpful. One issue with 16 cubit or a larger bag is that it has to sit on top of the rear cross bar. But it did very well. And I love the fact that you can remove and fold the bag away when we reach our destinations. But here are things I've learned in general for this product or any other carrier bags. First, I had an item that was slightly taller. Although it fit in the bag with other items, but due to the low clearance of our garage, I had to load that item in the bag outside of the garage... And yes, you've guessed it.... In the rain.... Second, getting up and down with opening and closing the bag was getting tiring. We had a long road trip needing overnights in hotel to get to our destinations the next day. To avoid going up and down all the time, we packed a few clothes in one separate bag and keep inside the car with us for the overnight stay to avoid going up and down to unzip and zip the bag. Especially when it rains. That's the only time your items will get wet. Third, Not sure why, but they did not include tie down hooks. Although it doesn't matter if you have a roof rack. But if you don't, those tie down hooks definitely helps. I bought an extra strap with those tie down hooks for extra protection. As for a carrier bag, I think this is the best one out of all the others that I've searched. After our long trip under the natural elements, I have to admit that the bag performed very well.

I purchased this cover to hold my folding ORU kayak. It makes a great 'bag' for the tandem folding kayak. kayak in the This keeps the parts with the kayak all in one secure package. The bag is easy to use. The zippers work great and zip all around three sides which makes putting larger items in it easier. The the storm flaps seem to seal well with velcro which gives extra protection from water penetration through the zippers. The quality of the material is heavy gauge and all the seams are tight with no gaps.

I used this rooftop carrier on a one-day 900-mile trip, strapped to the roof of my Honda Accord. It did the job perfectly even while driving through rain. I had worried that the container might let in water, slide backwards, or somehow open during the drive, but none of that happened. The rubber mat (similar to the kind that goes under a rug) held the carrier in place firmly and provided a little cushion to protect the roof surface. Since the Accord has no built-in rail or rack system, I purchased separately a set of loop attachments that hook onto the door openings underneath the weatherstripping seal. Those were easy to attach and remove, and seem to have caused no harm to the car. I did not use the straps that are provided with the carrier. Their latch placement did not allow me to tighten the straps as tightly as needed, although they would probably be fine on a wider vehicle or one that has a carrier rail. Instead, I used a pair of inexpensive 1-inch wide ratcheting straps to cinch the bag in place. I would recommend them anyway as a more reliable latching system. I have only used the bag once, so do not yet know its durability over time and repeated use, but the build appears solid with good stitching and heavy fabric. The zipper looks very rugged and when the bag is loaded, an integrated flap folds down to cover the zipper and is held in place with Velcro strips. All in all it is a thoughtful design. When not in use, it folds down to a fairly compact size and can be kept easily in the Accord’s trunk with much room to spare, which as a hybrid vehicle trunk is not especially spacious.

I installed new adjustable cross bars with this rooftop bag. It was good that the bars are adjustable because this bag is big and I needed to move the bars apart further. I then put our two full size suitcases in it (not carryon size). Perfect fit, I still had more room on the sides to stuff if more soft sided bags. Then the next day before our trip, it poured out and the wind was whipping and I thought this is a great test. The following day we left on our two day trip south about 1000 miles and all was good, no issues at all, dry, secure, and quiet. The return 1000 mile trip was similar more rain and wind and again no issues. I did put a small combo lock on the zipper as a small deterrent but we had no issues with theft, what would they score underwear and socks and clothes LOL. Also, we used a smaller to go bag for our supplements and electronics, because it was easier and quicker when we stopped than trying to get in the rooftop bag and what if the weather was bad, we didnt want to be opening and closing the rooftop bag. I am really happy with the product and the value for the price.

While the material is durable and the tie downs secure (the bag never moved), the exposure to the heat on a long road trip did "unglue" every velcro tab which was meant to secure the zipper cover flap. This undoubtedly also caused the bag to leak during wet weather. We only had clothes, in separate bag on the roof, so popping them in the dryer when we arrived, while inconvenient, was not a deal breaker. Since the bag was relatively inexpensive, I view this as more of a single use solution, rather than something i would use consistently.

Don't really have room to store a roofbox, and this bag fits in a carrier bag, so it's easy to keep for when you need a bit of extra space. I drove 2hrs to the south coast in some of the worst rain I've driven through and everything inside the Roofmaster stayed perfectly dry. The 8 straps make it easy to secure, it's worth spending five minutes tying back the loose ends so they don't flap about in the wind. Overall it's excellent: well made, easy to use and lots of room inside.

Perfecto, buena capacidad y la tela parece resistente e impermeable,aunque todavía no lo he usado con lluvia. Muy satisfecho con la compra.

It’s very safe ,quality is too good value for money with heavy quality we put 4-6 persons luggage or trolley bags in it and it is weather proof also

Excellent pratique génial et pas cher car est génial super rapport qualité prix superbe innovation à faire connaître plus largement

El material es muy bueno ya que hubo lluvia y el equipaje se mantuvo seco, las dimensiones son ideales ya que la monté sobre una canastillaa Go Rhino SRM500 y quedó espacio libre para montar cosas extras. Infortunademente durante el primer uso se despegó un velcro por lo que tendré que devolverla, la opción para contactar al vendedor no está disponible.
