 "Great beyond words" 2009-09-09
By R Case (Wilsonville, OR United States)
We have three cars and not one of them has a roof rack. Our largest car is a Hyundai Accent with a large trunk but not enough room for all our gear, bags and Ice-chest. We needed to fit, three adults and a 82lb dog in the car along with our stuff to go to our family reunion. I took a chance on this bag out of desperation.



We were very pleased with it's performance. The non-slip mat is part of its success. It was easy to put on the car and secure. The tie-downs actually go around the bag and the roof and through the door openings inside the car. We applied tension inside the car and secured the loose ends vs doing it on the outside. This way there was nothing flapping in the breeze. We also stopped after about 5 miles to check the bag, to see if it really would stay on the roof. It was very secure.



We did a practice pack before our trip. The secret to success is to put the heavier items on bottom of the bag and the lighter item in last (try to fill all the empty areas). The fuller it is, the easier it is to pack and tighten down.



We went from Portland, Oregon area to Crater Lake. We experienced minimal drag and our mileage was not significantly affected. We did not experience the whistling sound that accompanies regular roof racks.



Thank you to the designer and manufacturer for this great product. When we were done, the bag and mat packed away nicely and is sitting on the shelf waiting for our next trip. We didn't have to do any rearranging to store it.

We purchased this roofbag for a week long camping trip in Maine. The ten-hour drive from Pennsylvania to Maine and back was in a pouring rain. We met Hurricane Bill on the way to and hurricane Denny on the way back. Everything in the bag stayed dry and no water leaked into our car either.



We were planning to install roof rallies system and a pod. The cost would be around $1,000. And that would be only on one car. With this roofbag, either one of our family cars can be used for vacations. It holds everything we needed for camping and still has room left.



We noticed the vibrating noise a couple of times. After tightening the straps properly, the noise was gone.



For us, the roofbag served its purpose very well.

 "Almost great" 2009-08-25
By J. Evans
My family has used the roofbag twice, both times driving round trip to Michigan from Georgia. The first year we thought it was great and would have given it 5 stars, but this year we had problems with the straps vibrating and causing a lot of noise. I mean a LOT of noise. I have no idea why it made noise this year and not last year, as we are in the same car and packed it the same way. It was very unpleasant and we had to pull over several times and repack the bag, hoping that would resolve the problem. Eventually whatever we did worked and that problem was resolved, but it added an hour onto an already long trip.



This year, when we got up one morning, we noticed it had rained. No problem, the bag was dry inside. BUT, the straps had wicked the rain into the interior of our car, and the seats were soaked. Lesson learned there, don't leave the straps attached when you stop overnight.



Then on our return, we drove through rain, and the straps again wicked the rain into the car. Driving with rain dripping onto your head or shoulder or pillow or whatever was NOT pleasant. I'm looking for a way to resolve this issue, since we naturally cannot guarantee that we will not be driving through rain on our 1000 mile trips Up North.



We really like the fact that the bag doesn't require a roof rack and if we can 1) figure out how to avoid the vibrating strap noise, and 2) figure out how to prevent the straps from wicking rain into the car, then we'll highly recommend this product.

 "Rain, rain, go away." 2009-07-12
By Stephen P. Martini (Cleveland, TN)
We purchased the Roofbag from Roofbag.com to go onto our 2007 Jeep Compass (without roof rails). We were excited about the bag, thinking it would meet our needs, and drove from Chattanooga, TN to Dallas, TX without any problems. However, when we emptied the bag, zipped it up, and left it on the roof overnight - the storms came. The next morning, with a light rain continuing, I left the hotel to load the bag and found at least 2 inches of standing rain filling the bottom!! My "waterproof carrier - with special waterproof zipper flap cover" even thought it was zipped and closed!!! We poured the water out, dried the bag, and put non-clothing items inside for the rest of the trip (from Dallas, Tx to OKC, Oklahoma). Within minutes, it got worse. The straps that came with the carrier worked like sponges, soaking up the water and pouring it through the doors, leaving watermarks on the ceiling and showering drops onto everyone in the car. The straps were too large to fit through the slim holes on my factory roof rails, but an emergency stop to Wal-mart and a purchase of some nylon rope at least got the soaking straps out of our car. When we got to OKC, we took the stupid thing off the roof, folded it up, and put it in the trunk. After selling a few other items, we did without the Roofbag for the remainder of our 9-day road trip. My opinion? If you get the Roofbag, make sure it will strap to existing roof rails, and don't put anything inside you want to keep dry!



The kicker? Roofbag.com's warranty regarding their "waterproof carrier" - (From Roofbag.com) - "Since we have no control over how a user installs the carrier, and since the Cross-Country carrier only leaks if installed incorrectly, water leakage is not covered by the warranty, unless the bag has a noticeable manufacturing defect that affects its waterproofness." Classic.

 "Great Roof Bag - no Leaks" 2008-09-08
By Mark T. Franzese (CT USA)
We had looked for a hard shell rooftop carrier, but where put off by the price of them and decided that this bag would be simple to set up and adequate for our luggage needs. It takes about 10 minutes to set up and 5 to remove.



Plus we drove from CT to NC part of the way though rain and back, there was a slight MPG drop because of the wind resistance, but no leaks and it holds lots of luggage.



We should get plenty of use out of this bag over the next couple of years. I also should mention that our vehichle already had stock roof rails.
