Apex Extra-Large Roof Cargo Bag with RGB-04 Technology for Maximum Protection and Durability

Paul M Funnell: I have used this extensively for both my pickup truck and on a trailer hitch rack on my wives' SUV. They have held up extremely well for the use they have gone through. After four years of use the bottom corners are starting to wear but that is due to sliding them on my bed liner. I have had them out in pouring rain overnight with an internal PVC frame I made and though the water pooled, not a drop entered the bag. The bags get a little stiff and harder to zip and manipulate when temperatures are below freezing. The straps that come with them are adequate though could be improved with better buckles but overall the bags are fantastic.

Ty W.: 4 out of 5 stars - Overall quality good but difficult to load and unload items with the zipper running across the top of the bag. A 3/4 zipper running along the side as in other car top bags would have been better. Have not used this bag in rainy weather not confident how well the top zipper will hold out water even though it has a sewn in flap.

JJ: I bought this based upon reviews from others. I am impressed with it! I highly recommend buying this for travel. I just stretched it out while empty to make sure that I had it squared up. Then began to load it down. You might need a step stool or small ladder to do this. One side note: If you are doing this inside of your garage, you might want to try pulling out before you zip it up because if you get it too tall, you might hit the top of your garage door when pulling out!)

This thing holds a lot of stuff. It frees up a lot of room inside of your vehicle. The material is a good, heavy duty material. The instructions aren't the best, but after you work with the straps a little, you'll see how to do it. After filling it up and securing the 6 black straps, I also took a couple of ratchet straps and put one up front and one in the back for just extra peace of mind. Trust me, this thing did not move! It is well worth the price and just what you need for cheap storage on your roof.

As for it being water proof...we were never in any rain so I was not able to check that out. But from the looks of the heavy material, I don't think it will leak. ...

M. Balut: Easily 5 stars! I drove from Lorain, Ohio to Weeki Wachee, Florida for the Holidays. The first day we drove 9 hours, all in the high winds of winter storm Drago. It rained steadily for over 6 hours! When I stopped at the hotel in Knoxville, took everything out, not a drop of water had gotten in the carrier. Day two was dry, but lots of high winds, on top of driving a steady 75mph down US75. 16-17 hours drive time down to Florida. Held up perfectly.

On the trip back, we saw some wet weather, more wind, and again 16-17 hours of driving at 75mph. Everything was dry as a bone.

This carrier holds a ton of stuff. Used the 4 provided straps, and duct tape the extra so they didn't flap in the wind. TIP: put the empty carrier on the car, and first attach the 4 straps to the car only. Then fill the carrier with you stuff, and then attach the straps to the carrier. Pull tight and you're done. Make sure the zipper is facing the back, not the front of your car. I was nervous about having something on the roof, so I used two heavy bungee cords, too, but you don't need them as the carrier did not move even an inch during the whole trip. Actually...

pit: I purchased this soft storage carrier to go on the roof of my 206 Honda Odyssey. This thing is LARGE, so make sure you have the room for it. Anyway, my family and I were moving across country and this thing worked awesome. The straps work great and I tied off the excess so I didnt have to listen to them flap in the wind for 2100 miles. It was very easy to install and it holds an enormous amount of things. 2 large suit cases, 1 medium suit case and a bunch of extra odds and ends. It didnt create much wind drag and really didnt affect our overall fuel consumption. We drove through every form of weather in the course of 5 days, rain, snow, wind, sunshine, and when we arrived, our items were all nice and dry. Not an ounce of dampness in the carrier what so ever. Also, for extra security, I suggest putting a padlock or combo lock on this. The Zippers are huge and heavy duty, and you can slide a lock right through both of them, so for extra long road trips like I took, you will know that your stuff will be there in the morning.
As for some of the items they recommend.
The Extra straps - get them. I doubt you'll have any problems with the straps on the carrier...
