Rooftop Cargo Carrier, 21 Cubic Feet Soft-Shell Waterproof Car Roof Luggage Bag for All Vehicles SUV with/Without Rails, Includes 10 Reinforced Straps + 6 Door Hooks,Storage Bag,Anti-Slip Mat

We bought this bag for travel in Costa Rica. Before we flew down, we checked it for defects and sample packed it on the ground with luggage, but how would it fit and perform on an unspecified rental? Vamos Rent-A-Car provided our vehicle with roof rails as booked, and their mechanic was onsite and adjusted the rails to the bag length. Sweet!I absolutely ignored one apparently incorrect installation instruction that came with the bag and is also in MCBD’s video on Amazon. Please listen. The directions and video indicate to install the bag with the MCBD logo facing the front of the vehicle. Bad idea. My bag, and the one they install in the video, have the logo printed below the zipper. This is the BACK panel. On a rooftop bag with 3 zippered sides, for the best wind and water shielding performance, the non-zippered side should always face the FRONT. I am reaching out to MCBD about this apparent error, I will update this if they give me any detail.Loading and securing the 21 cubic foot bag was easier with two people. It held our six hard suitcases - four medium and two smaller carry-ons. I brought ratchet straps and zip ties as a precaution, but didn’t need them. TSA had no issues with the bag or ratchet straps in our carry-on luggage.The bag was in use for about seven hours total over three days, with the bag being removed and installed between uses. Our drives included 2-3 hours of light rain. Despite bumpy roads with potholes and speed bumps, the bag stayed secure, and with the non-zippered side facing the front, everything remained dry. I periodically checked the straps, and they held firm.Another key to having no bag issues was loading the roof bag with no sharp or pointy edges or objects against the bag or it’s zippers. We made sure to place the suitcases so their wheels faced into the center of the bag, and packed so the zippers did not have to be strained to close, and had even tension on them.

2019 VW TiguanFit great on the roof. Zipper and the tie-downs are super strong and it was super quiet. Drove 3 hours in the hot sun 107 degrees for 3 hours at 70mph and no problems. The amount of space is fantastic and fit completely secure on my roof. The bag is pliable and so much better than a hard shell. You can fit tons of stuff in it. 4 camping chairs, 2 tents, a pop-up canopy, 6 vacuum bags of blankets, pillows and clothes, charcoal and cooking equipment. Fast shipping!

Upon writing this review, I’ve used this once on a camping trip. The cargo bag worked well to transport a handful of extra bags atop my car. It withstood my 65-70mph highway speeds and was pretty user friendly to operate. It did not rain much at all so I can not speak to the waterproof quality yet.However, a disappointment I have is that TWO Velcro pieces were kit made properly (see photos). The item still worked ok, but I’ll be seeking a replacement for a 100% inspected and properly produced unit.

I want to rave about this cargo bag. I bought it for a week long family trip consisting of around 3k miles of travel across a large section of the US. This bag was one of three items purchased to haul luggage of 2 adults and 4 teenagers on the roof of a 2021 Tahoe. The other items purchased were a set of roof rail bars which would support a large cargo basket, which this cargo bag would rest upon. The combination worked better than i expected. As far as the cargo bag is concerned, it appears to be well made. Materials heavier than i anticipated. Heavy duty zipper that goes around 3 sides. The zipper is covered by a large 'flap' that velcros closed over the zipper, making it nearly impossible for water to penetrate. The interior area is massive. 21cuft, i believe. This bag stored all of the luggage for six people with the exception of one carry-on size suitcase. In all, i believe there were two large suitcases, 3 medium suitcases, 3 carry-on size suitcases, and two gym bags. This was only achieved after a couple days of travel and figuring out the most efficient positioning of the items, but once perfected, this bag then held bags and bags of stuff purchased while on the trip in addition to the luggage mentioned earlier with no problem at all.On to weather. It was raining as we set out on day one. Before the end of the first 800 mile day, we had driven through a severe storm complete with driving rain, 50+ mph winds, and tornado warnings. This was a bonafide hyphoon! We were in the think of it for over an hour and in the rain all day. When we arrived at our hotel, i was amazed to find that there wasn't one drop of water in the cargo bag! Dry as a bone. This weather was repeated two more times before the trip was over. We never found any water at all inside this bag. It is literally impenetrable. Once we returned home, i hosed all the bugs and what not off the front of the bag, folded it up, and put it back into its handy nylon storage bag. One hint if using this bag, it has a zipper around 3 sides. The side that does not unzip is the FRONT. Face the bag with the solid side of the bag facing the front. When closing the bag, be sure the zippers meet at the rear of the bag. Be sure to position the 'flap' over the zipper all the way around and secure with the velcro. If these steps are adhered to, im sure this bag will perform equally well as mine does. If looking for a large capacity, truly weather-proof cargo bag, you can stop searching and purchase this one. I cannot imagine there being a higher quality cargo bag in existence and this price can't be beat.

This was awesome. Used it for a nearly cross country move. Was easy to use, pretty self explanatory, waterproof, bug proof, sturdy materials, has its own carry case, can fit a looooot.Make sure you don't put anything angular against the zipper seam, make sure the rectangle of the bottom is lined up on your car roof, pack the load evenly across (then build it upwards), when strapping down strap all sides loosely, then snugly, then tightly, keep duct tape on hand in case if a zipper pop (it shouldn't but at the least you are prepared).

This took a full load across the United States in my recent move. Absolutely didn't budge, incredible.I wish I knew I didn't need to buy cross bars. This seems to be fully capable of sitting atop your car without additional elements.I took it through the desert, snow, up and down mountains, thunderstorms, and high winds. Absolutely incredible. AND it folds up neatly so I can keep it on hand for moving other items.
