Highlights
Quality
The anti-slip mat is a great feature, keeping the bag secure even during long drives.
Super easy to use, lots of storage space, great quality and fits really well.
These straps are no good the bag just comes loose.
There was minimal noise as a result of driving with the bag on the roof and the fuel consumption was surprisingly unaffected.
Price
Gave this a try and was worth every penny.
I was a bit sceptical as it’s so much cheaper than a proper roof rails and box but so so pleased we got it.
Cheaper then buying roof rails and box
I was apprehensive when deciding to purchase a bag instead of a roof box, but it was so much cheaper so i took the risk.
Shipping
It did serve us great on an 8hr trip to cornwall.
Luckily it arrived on time and i placed it on the roof of our car between the roof bars so that it wouldn't slip forward or back.
It took all of our bags with room to spare and despite some light rain on the journey from london everything arrived dry.
Packaging/appearance
With 15 cubic feet of storage space, i was able to pack in all the essentials for a family road trip without feeling cramped for space.
Once we had worked out how to assemble and install it, we packed it, crossed fingers and hoped for the best - it was fab!
Took about 30 minutes to pack it onto the roof and about 5 minutes to unpack and stow folded up in the boot.
Packing it was a little like tetris to make sure there wasn't any pockets where rain water could pool.
Competitiveness
Bought this as a risky alternative to an expensive roof box.
