I purchased this a year ago for a trip. Due to a death in the family, that trip got postponed to this year. We left yesterday and drove 5 hours. We stopped at a hotel and when we went to take the carrier off the roof, we discovered the zipper had broken. Luckily the straps were tight enough that nothing fell out. So I wasted $42 on a junk cargo carrier that is now in the hotel trash can. Unfortunately since I bought this a year ago, I can’t get my money back. Save your money and don’t make the same mistake I did.

Awesome bag! Drove from California to Florida with it. Held up perfectly through wind, rain, and driving a little 😉 over the speed limit. Only complaint is the straps. The buckles are cheap and a few of them broke. The straps themselves are great though. Can still tie the bag to the roof rails even with a broken buckle or two. We stopped 1/4 of the way into our trip and bought some extra straps with better buckles. They may have just been for our own piece of mind. Doesn’t hurt to have extra straps with this though. Bottom line is this bag is legit and you won’t one better for this price.

so me and my family were moving from new york to florida and to save money for the moving truck we tried to fit as much as we could in my jeep patriot. well that didn't end well when we ran outta room and still had so much stuff left!.. so i found this and figured..alright ill give it a shot.. well im glad i did. it fit SO much stuff in it and it fit beautifully on my roof with just my roof racks no cross bars. i fit 2 suitcases. a small box 16'16 a bin that stands 18'18 my daughters entire crib set in the packaging, a huge bag of diapers, my kids video game systems (3). and a few other things. with some room to spare. i strapped it down and i prayed for the best. and man oh man this thing did not disappoint. after a 2 day drive doing highway speeds and going through emended heat and torrential down pours as soon as we entered florida to my surprise when i opened it up everything was dry and just as it was 1200 miles prior. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT. BEST 30 BUCKS I EVER SPENT.

To be honest, considering the very reasonable price for this, we had very low expectations. Turns out this product far exceeded even our wildest expectations.We had to make the drive home from Boston, MA with two more passengers than we arrived with. To make room for them, we emptied our suitcases of all of our clothing, dumped the clothes in a bunch of black trash bags, put them in this rooftop cargo carrier and hoped for the best.There was rain in the forecast. But what we didn’t know was that we would be driving home in torrential downpours for the ENTIRE 14 hour journey. (The kind of downpours where you drive with your hazards on and reduce your speed considerably because you can’t see more than 10 feet in front of your car.)Then there were hours-long portions of our trip spent fighting intense winds as the storm progressed. This thing didn’t budge.When we got home and unloaded, we were astounded to find that not even the slightest bit of rain penetrated the carrier. Everything inside was completely dry. Amazing.Best $25 we have ever spent.We also purchased the non-slip mat and some extra tie down straps to reinforce everything. Highly highly recommend!!!! Saved our trip home!

We looked at many carriers and saw similar complaints so we opted for a carrier that was inexpensive expecting it would be a one time use product. It is roomy and installed easily. We had light rain overnight and nothing got wet. Based on reviews we had decided to pack everything that couldn't get wet in plastic bags. Going through the instructions is specifically says it isn't water proof. We didn't have heavy rain or did we drive while it was raining so can't comment to this. We took a 3000 mile round trip and were very happy with this carrier. We did check the straps each time we stopped and tightened them however probably wasn't necessary. There was some road noise but we decided that was good as we knew it was still up there, it wasn't so much that we could hear our music or have a conversation. We didn't have any problems with it ripping or the zipper breaking. We did buy the a mat. We haven't noticed any where on the roof of our van. There is some wear on the luggage rack where the straps rubbed. Our only dislike of the product is it only opens on two sides making it a bit more challenging to pack. Overall, we are very happy with this carrier and would recommend it. It fulfilled our needs and we will be using it again for another trip.

I drove from California to New York and this thing was a champ. Ordered it when we stayed in AZ for the weekend to alleviate some baggage inside the car. Amazon prime was clutch with their same day delivery. I had absolutely no leaking and my belongings stayed dry. We got a bit of thunderstorms and a lot rain through Ohio and Missouri. We bought additional straps to go on and a rubber mat as well (suggested by other reviews). Highly recommend it for it's price and durability. The trip was a total of 3 days 2 nights and 3,000 miles+. There were no tears or damage of any kind to the soft case and no damages to my belongings as well. I attached pictures from begining to end.
