Rightline Gear 100R20 Range 2 Weatherproof Rooftop Cargo Carrier for Top of Vehicle, Attaches With or Without Roof Rack, 15 Cubic Feet, 40 x 36 x 18 inches, Black

I have now had this car bag for over 4 years and it is still going strong! I only use it once or twice a year, and only for camping trips within a few hours' drive, but it has become part of our camping essentials. It is easy to use, stays secure, and can hold a pretty decent amount of stuff. The zippers can be a bit tough to pull on at times, but they are really great, solid zippers, so I am on with that. The velcro is really good and strong as well. It is easy to secure to our car (a 2014 Prius) and stays put. Sometimes you need to adjust one of the straps to stop it from whistling when you are zipping down the highway, but it's not a big deal. Honestly, it is better than I thought it would be. When it is time for an upgrade, years down the road, I would buy another Rightline.

Okay, so we drove nearly 800 miles from the mountains of NC to the OBX of NC and back. We had a 3 piece wheeled luggage set plus two other large bags in this thing....as well as 2 body boards. We loaded this thing full but not too full. Honestly we could have put some soft items in it to fill it up (like deflated inflatables or pillows) but I didn't want to push it. Super easy to install it on the hard top car (no racks and no rails). (see details of the durability at the end) *Tips: Wash the car to prevent scratching it and make sure the bags is clear of debris on the bottom. Unzip the back before throwing on the car with the solid side facing your front windshield. Then load the product in the bag and zip it up. Once zipped, then you can loop the ties through the buckles and then to the car stripping (with doors open). Once in place, CLOSE the door BEFORE tightening the straps. Once the door is closed on the properly placed strap, then tighten it down. Now you can open your door and the strap will not come off the stripping. If you tighten it with the door open you could damage the stripping or your face when the hook lets loose and pops your mouth! **Helpful hints: 1) This will increase your fuel consumption a ton. Normally I get 38-42 mpg in my Chevy Cruze going 70 mph, however I noticed that I was getting about 20mpg with this on my car. 2) The wind does wisp in your ear as you are driving....especially the front seats. So once we were in the vehicle, we used gorilla tape along the interior of the stripping and it was not bad at all. Of course, when you make a pit stop, you will have to reapplying the tape. Gorilla not duck...duck does not have the same thickness of Gorilla. Trust me...we put duck up and then stopped at Dollar General for Gorilla! We had 4 adults taking a 7 hour drive for a week's vacation at the beach in which we had to pack for both summer, fall and winter (because NC is bipolar) and this was a life saver! We packed our beach gear (cooler, picnic basket, body boards, inflatables and pump, along with so many towels) while on the banks so that we had everything at hand...while packing chairs and other items in the trunk. We experienced a Northeaster and Gulf Stream depression which collided off the coast for 3 days and turned into a tropical storm which sent 25 foot waves over the dunes onto the only highway (Hwy12) which we were driving on. This bag was literally drenched by the salty ocean water and pounds of sand, relentless beating for days. We drove through door high standing water that was hydroplaned onto my whole car during the worst of the storm. Not one item inside the bag was wet! Not one. The towels were as dry as they were from the dryer! I was shocked. This thing was literally battle tested!!! I literally left the bag on top of my car when the rain was sideways and swirling and it was not even phased...not even a little. I was amazed by the quality of the bag! ***I was not paid for nor asked to give my review.

Bought for a 17hr drive from San Antonio to Louisville. I was able to place it ontop of my Acadia and load it up with no issues during the drive. Once we reached our destination, I folded it up and placed it in the cargo area. The morning we came back, the rain was coming down hard for a few hours and it kept everything dry inside.

This is a great bag and very versatile! I loved the fact you can use this bag with or with out roof rails. The quality is top notch and very durable. I was a little skeptical at first but we were able to fit a large amount of cargo in this. 2 large suitcases 1 medium, a duffle bag, 4 small bags plus a bunch of other miscellaneous items. It was easy to setup and clung into place well using the weather stripping hooks and a non slip mat. The straps can generate some noise at speeds higher than 60. We hit speeds of 85 in some spots though with no issues. Through 14 hours of driving each way, a rain storm and off roading on a beach our cargo remained in place and dry. I don't know what I did before I had this bag!

We used this on our Kia Sorento to drive from Missouri to Idaho and Montana and back again in February. It was raining and snowing and the wind was horrible but this thing kept ALL of our stuff safe, secure, and DRY. I was a little worried about it holding up for our whole trip, but we are 2 weeks into our 3 week trip and it has been great. Easy to take on and off at each stop we have made. The bag is really stiff due to it being weather proof which makes it hard to get it all packed up in a taller car, but I will take it being stiff and slightly hard to pack over all of our stuff getting soaked anyway. It sometimes made a funny noise, but I think the straps weren’t always tight enough and the weather was probably messing with it as well. It did drop our MPG, but that is to be expected with any car top carrier. We are so thrilled with this product! For the price, it can’t really be beat. It has been a huge space (and life!)saver for our three week road trip with two toddlers. I highly recommend!

We took this on a week long trip. Went through plenty of rain. Everything stayed dry. It holds a lot of stuff. We put a extra large luggage bag. And 4 medium bags. 3 box fans. Yes we have to have our box fans for sleeping lol. And a thick pillow. Fit just fine. When done just fold it back up and put it in the little bag it comes with. Doesn't take up much space like the hard plastic luggage carriers do. Highly recommend

Bought this rooftop carrier to load a suitcase and a few other things into for a 1750mile trip from New York to Texas. 2 hours into the trip, one of the carrier’s straps broke off and the entire thing flew off the car nearly causing an accident. I called Amazon and got my money back. I wouldn’t recommend that anyone but this item.

Absolutely loved the bag. Went camping in northern michigan and drove through a huge rain storm most of the way and it held up great every in the bag was still as dry as when I put it in there. I set it up the night before we left due to a forecast of rain the morning we were leaving. We got a huge thunderstorm that came through while it was just sitting on my car I'm the driveway and not a single drop got inside. Gas mileage did take a little bit on the way home from our trip with it but only 3-5 miles less per gallon. If you can pack it so there is a level top then you shouldn't have an issue. We drove around 1000 miles round trip and it never came loose at all. Would definitely recommend for the price.

Nothing

We bought this for a trip up north and were pleasantly suprised at the quality and capacity for the price. Durable and remained dry through a minor rain storm. We don't have usable roof racks, so we bought this to clip into the doors and it worked great. Didn't move an inch once strapped down. Comes with clips, which wasnt clear so we bought some, but no biggie. Easy to use and everything we needed.

Excellent! WE used this for our family holiday driving around NZ. We don't have roof racks and it fit perfectly on the car, easy to use and saved so much space in the car. Would highly recommend!

We used this for a total drive of over 3500km and this thing is TOUGH. It didn't get any water in it and it held alot of camping gear. The one thing I will say though is do NOT use this on your vehicle if you do not have roof rack cross bars! Or if you do go that route do not pack it very heavily like we did. Our SUV that doesn't have cross bars nearly lit on fire from the pressure on the roof. There was electrical shorting and causing a ton of smoke in the car. So please use caution. Otherwise this thing is very durable.

Not tested in heavy rain but looks like it’ll do the job well. Surprised how much I could load into it. Not sure how secure it’ll be without roof bars the fixings didn’t look that great. Could maybe use a couple more straps to secure it. I bought to ratchet straps to really hold it down in place. Was solid and have is no problems. Would definitely recommend with the extra straps and using roof bars.
