So far, very good
By clearanceman
Just got this so I'll probably have to update the review. I bought it from another store with coupons and it was cheap. It doesn't have much shape when you put it in the tray, it's a big bag. It seems sturdy enough, I put a bunch of stuff in it for our recent trip and it kept taking more and more. I like the straps, so what if the buckles are plastic, they work. You can also disconnect the top ones and two people can lift the bag off the tray to take inside to unpack.

As we came down a mountain, a huge thunderstorm hit, I could barely see and almost had to pull over, the wind was blowing the rain sideways. When we got to our hotel, the bag was dry inside, not a drop of water.

I'll update after a couple trips for durability but on this trip it was fantastic, really let us bring a lot of extra things. We are a family of five in a station wagon (Subaru) and there is no extra room. This is the first time I could see out the back of the car on vaca tion.

I also like how this leaves the roof free for other cargo carriers.

Finally, check out etrailer they compare this with the top rated other similar bag and never say this one is lower quality.

Update: Our 1000 mile trip is over. Good start, even the fishing poles didn't poke holes in this thing, It is easly to remove from the tray, load and unload and it held a lot of things. It stayed dry inside the whole trip and the attachment system never loosened. And it can be folded away for the next trip. I'm happy with this bag.

Adequate bag if handled very gently
By Jeffery
I was happy with this bag after unpacking but quickly found myself disappointed after test fitting it to my rack. After the test fit I noticed a few small holes in the outer vinyl layer. They didn't go all the way through to the interior but I didn't have confidence that this product would be water tight after more than one trip. After a week and over 1000 miles I have found a few more small holes in the exterior layer but it did keep the contents dry over the course of the whole trip.

I did have another problem with this product but it was totally my fault. I didn't pay attention to the relation of exhaust to the bag after mounting and packing. The heat from the exhaust melted the outside and inside of the bag. It also melted one of the nylon mounting straps. But as I said, I realize that this was my fault and not a fault of the product. I just wanted to mention it to make anyone else interested in the bag aware of the potential damage that can be cause by the exhaust.

Solid, durable, waterproof, and a value for the price
By J. C. Roth
I purchased an all weather bag from a national retailer for my 1200 mile trip. It rained during the trip and my clothes and equipment were damp if not soaked near the zippers. I returned it at my destination and ordered this item. I could not be happier as this was even cheaper in price than the one I got originally.

This is like a thick duffle bag with a rubberized coating surrounding it. Even the zippers have waterproof flaps that velcro down over them. It was very roomy and due to the soft walls it can flex or compress to the shape of its contents. The built in straps are strong and reinforced where they attach to the bag. I still used some bungee chords to pin it down further just to be safe for my return trip. It fits perfectly on a hitch mounted cargo carrier and secures to it well.

The only areas this item could be improved are firmer walls and handles. For the price, these do not detract from rating IMHO. The flexible walls are grea t for odd shaped contents, but makes it difficult to start loading it till it has enough content to hold it up. Regarding handles, my trip was a two day effort and I had to unload this at the hotel. Without handles, I had to empty most the contents to haul it into the room where if it had reinforced handles it could have been carried unaltered. Again, this would only make this great product better and I would expect it to cost more if it had it.

This is a 5-star product for me!
