Customer Reviews

Good Value, Kept the Water Out
We used two of these bags on a recent trip. Strapped them to the top of our MDX, went over 400 miles in the rain and they kept the water out. I agree with the other review, the cover drawstring should be more durable and easier to draw tight. Did not experience any of the "peeling" or "flaking" of the coating on the inside of the bag or the cover that some of the reviews I have read on other sites mention. Overall a very good product. Hard to beat the convenience of wheeling them around, they held alot, and you pack directly into them. The top flap of the bag has a built in clear plastic pocket that closes. Worked very well for holding cosmetics, shampoo, and pretty much everything else that would be in a man's shaving bag or woman's cosmetic bag. Two bags held all the clothing and linens for a family of 6 for 10 days in the cold with some room to spare. We definitely would recommend them. I would also recommend buying the bags separately as the two bag set only comes with one big cover instead of the two individual covers.

Made it cross-country!
This bag was great. Since we stuffed this bag full, having wheels was much appreciated. We used it on top of a GTI volkswagon. I couldn't believe it but the bag never moved from where we had it fastened. Some of the speed limits we went through were as high as 80 mph. Although the dust cover didn't make it, the extra space this bag provided was very useful.

The dust cover is not as durable as the actual bag. It ended up ripping on our way back from CA to FL. Another problem with the dust cover is that the drawstring that tightens the cover around the bag, gets stripped. We had to put duct tape on the drawstring to keep it tight.

All in all, great bag, loose the dust cover. It's a waste of time.

Good enough
I've used this on a 7 hour drive; mostly packed with clothing, towels and beach items for a camping trip. The rain guard worked well - as it was tested in the rain, though difficult to get it secured around to the bottom. Next time, I would put the rain guard on first before lugging it up on the roof. I did use additional straps to keep it attached - the straps that come with it were confusing for me. I did the best I could with them, but secured with more. It's nice to be able to move it up and down as a unit from the roof - not as overwhelming as a single bigger container. Traveling as the only adult, that helps. I used it as a suitcase while in the tent - trying to cut down and multi use. This didn't work as well, as the opening made it harder to get to things on either end of it. Of course, that's using it for more than it's intended, so I can't cut the rating. I put 4 stars because of the straps. I'm glad I didn't pay anymore than I did for it, but think the value will eventually pay off. While I don't regret buying this, I'm not sure I'd buy it again.
