Rooftop Cargo Carrier Bag, 425L, Waterproof Heavy Duty Car Roof Bag for Vehicles with Roof Rack, 8 Reinforced Straps, Foldable, Storage Bag Included, Black

Unfortunately the bag was too big for our small car's roof rack, however, as other reviews have said, it's a seriously good bag for the money. I have returned it, but only because it was too big, and have opted for individual Dry Bags instead. I think the best review photo I saw was from someone who is using it in the back of a pick-up truck. It's most definitely excellent value for money, and for a certain purpose, it was just unfortunate that it wasn't going to work for my particular situation. I would however, not hesitate in buying the bag again for a different application. The double opening zipper was, as reported by others, easy to use and of good sturdy quality, with a weather flap that velcros over the zip for added waterproofness. As noted by another reviewer, you do need to make sure that the area where the two zippers meet is facing backwards if it's on a car roof, to further ensure that no prevailing water coming towards your vehicle sneaks in between the two ends of the closed zip, despite the weather flap's existence. Really, it's an excellent bag. The Amazon branding, by the way, points forwards and backwards, that is how you know which way around it goes on your roof. Also, it refolds easily and the storage bag, which is made from the same material, is nicely over-sized so getting the roof bag back into its 'holdall' is easy too.

My family and I bought this for extra space in addition to a roof box we already have, and it was great. I used it for a week long camping trip and it was perfect for getting out kitchen furniture in - acting as a flat base to the bag, after which, we then put sleeping bags, various other soft items and camping chairs. There's a tonne of room in this, and due to the nature of it being a bag, rather than a rigid shell it was easy to stuff things in. We even had some rain on the way to our site and it kept our stuff perfectly dry. A great buy.

Used this on safari and it was fantastic, esp as it was quite wet enroute. However, the straps are very fiddly and different lengths which was a real pain. Eventually just gave up on them and used two ratchet straps which worked a treat. Knocked off a star for this reason.

Arrived as described -works quite well. Took a bit of time to fit and load the 1st time - the buckles needed to be adjusted to length for my vehicle - wrapping the straps around the bars helped - good bit quicker the 2nd time. Good for a single long drive when you will be unloading at your destination. Not really suitable for touring where you need the contents every evening. Good solution for our once a year need for additional luggage carrying capacity to give the dog space in the boot / trunk. Much more cost effective than bars and a solid roof box and much easier to store when not in use. Best used with soft walled luggage as they can be squeezed in. Once filled and with all straps tightened and ends folded in was really secure on the roof between the longitudinal running bars (golf estate with stand off bars). Was water tight at 70mph on the A9 this week during heavy rain - be careful to install with zips to side and rear and use the velcro flaps to cover zips. I paired it with a non-slip mesh mat - to protect car roof and minimise possibility of slipping. All in all good value for what it is and met my expectations.

So we bought one of these as an alternative to a roof box and roof bars for our annual camping trip. I'll be honest when it turned up I wasn't expecting a lot, bloody hell was I wrong, so easy to use and light weight, and the straps are super strong. It arrived in a little carry bag so when you are not using it just put it away. For our camping trip we managed to fit in the bag, 3 sleeping bags, 1 large throw ,1 king size duvet, 3 air beds, and 4 luggage bags of clothes, plus odd bits and bobs. The bag zipped up with ease I would recommend an anti slip mat underneath, not because the bag is loose but just for added security, plus we have a glass roof so didn't want any sort of unforeseen damage done to that. We loaded this off the car then lifted onto the car roof then secured it in place, just down to we thought it would be a lot easier to utilize the space better. Fastening the bag to the roof was easy enough there are 8 big thick clips that go through the side rails and it has multiple adjusters to tighten the straps even more. When attached to the roof the was a fair length of strap left so we just tided it up and secured with some clips just to save it flapping about down the motorway. When travelling up to the lakes in dry conditions it didn't move an inch. when travelling back from the lakes with what can only be describe as monsoon conditions it didn't move at all and everything inside was bone dry and as we left it, when travelling at speeds there is no noise at all from wind drag like some roof bars which whistle. I can not rate this bag enough and looking forward to using it on our next adventure.

I don't leave many reviews but felt compelled to on this product, as I spent ages researching various roof bags.Background - we have a 14 month old baby plus dog and like to go on holidays in the UK. So space in our Nissan Qashqai is at a premium with two adults, car seat, buggy and space for the dog. We originally wanted a box for the roof, but had no place to store the box when not in use. Our Qashqai came with side bars (and a panoramic sunroof) and we bought Hardcastle Aluminium Cross Bars (135cm) from Amazon which are great and good quality.We originally bought a cheaper bag because we didn't want a huge bag on the roof, but when it arrive the handle snapped on the carry bag so sent it back and ordered the Amazon Basics one, which has so far exceeded our expectations. The quality is outstanding, the straps whilst initially are faddy (easier second time round because in right place) are good quality and you feel they will secure the bag. As we had a panoramic sunroof we bought Siivton Roof Mat to protect the surface, but I understand many buy one to protect paintwork.The bag sat comfortably between the two cross bars I had installed and strapped up tightly. Because I wanted added security, I also bought a set of Silver line Buckle Straps, but I think these were probably overkill.We packed the bag full of clothes which was easier to do when it was on the roof, we have some Amazon Basics Packing Cubes (and a set of cheaper versions for the baby's) which made the process even easier. We filled the base with these cubes and didn't double stack, because of fear of cracking the sunroof with the weight.We drove from Leeds to Norwich and back, traveling between 60-70mph and the bag did not move at all, it made no additional noise and you would not know it was there other than losing from light from the sunroof.It didn't rain at any point, so can't verify Waterproof, but it looks like it would be fine.My only concern is security when parked up for lunch and service stations etc. I purposefully positioned the zips in a hard to reach area and covered then with straps. I plan to buy a padlock for additional security.

Really liked that it was waterproof, sturdy, with ample room. Disliked that it was a real faff to position on top of the roof rack and had to use support structures underneath it (as recommended by another customer) to keep it off the roof of the car and give support. The straps are ridiculously short and wouldn’t go round the entire length of the roof rack bag. So I strapped them on the sides of the roof rack instead and used spider straps to go round the entire bag so it prevented forwards and backwards motion. Was a little concerned leaving it on top of the car overnight in our stay at a motel on the way to Scotland but the padlock i put on it kept our clothes safe. It stayed out better than I thought it would and was very waterproof! Overall reasonable value for money the but the strap issue is a pain!

I bought this to put on the roof of my 16 plate Vauxhall Mokka. I also had roof rails and the bag was a little big for it with the roof rails on.It wasn't the easiest to fasten. It didn't look as neat as the photos when fastened 🙈 Loosening the straps takes a bit of brain power to work put, which I managed. This made it extra secure.I saw in the photos that people seemed to fasten the side straps so then fastened on the inside of the car, on the 'ceiling'. The straps weren't long enough for me to do that.There was mixed views about waterproofing. I drove along the motorway in a cloudburst that lasted about half an hour. When I got home, I checked the suitcases inside and they were bone dry. When I took the suitcases out to expose the bottom of the cargo bag, that was damp, however the cases weren't wet. I imagine rain was blown under little gaps above the car roof and cargo bag.Would I recommend it? Possibly, it's just the 'neatly' and ease of fastening part I couldn't figure out. My brother in law had a different type and his looked far easier, and quicker to fasten. He got his from Amazon aswell.

Absolutely awesome item! I would give a 10-stars rating if there is!Good quality - big check!Price - very big check!Delivery - big check!I wish and Amazonbasics will continue coming out with quality items at very affordable price. Thank you Amazonbasics!

Super coffre de toit que j'utilise sur ma Kona.C'est très facile à installer et on peut mettre pas de sacs à l'intérieur.

Aunque no lo hemos probado en carretera, ya lo tenemos instalado en el coche. Muy amplio y fácil de colocar. Eso sí, no trae base. Con lo cuál si es para colocarlo en un soporte trasero, cómo es nuestro caso, es aconsejable ponerle una base algo más rígida.

SUPER ! j'ai eu peur d'après les commentaires pour l'étanchéité, en plus nous allions dans le nord (59) donc la pluie... j'ai mis 2 valises d'avion (petit et moyen modèle) pour éviter tous accidents d'humidité, et je l'avoue j'avais peur de perdre sur l'autoroute mes affaires, j'ai donc pris 2 valises en me disant si ça se décroche j'aurai plus de facilité pour les récupérer. et bien tout s'est très bien passé, j'ai vérifé 2 fois avant l'autoroute rien ne bougé et après mes 800km tout était en place et ....il n'a pas plu donc là je ne sais paspetit bémol un peu de bruit mais avec la musique on n'entend plus rien et la consommation de carburant plus importante mais la même chose avec un coffre de toitsuper article

Besonders gut gefällt mir die Verarbeitung des Gepäckträgers – das Material wirkt hochwertig, und die Reißverschlüsse sind von guter Qualität und wasserundurchlässig. Zusätzlich gibt es eine Schutzleiste über den Reißverschlüssen, die das Eindringen von Wasser verhindert.Sehr praktisch ist, dass der Gepäckträger nach Gebrauch einfach zusammengerollt werden kann und kaum Platz einnimmt. Er ist eindeutig für die Montage auf einem Dachgepäckträger konzipiert. Zwar wird gezeigt, dass man ihn direkt auf dem Autodach befestigen kann, aber ich würde das aus Sicherheitsgründen nicht empfehlen. Die mitgelieferten Gurte sind eher dekorativ als funktional – darauf sollte man sich nicht verlassen, sondern für eine stabile zusätzliche Sicherung sorgen.Trotz dieser kleinen Anmerkungen vergebe ich 5 Sterne, denn der Gepäckträger ist insgesamt hochwertig und praktisch!
