 Worked Wonderfully - Don't hesitate to buy January 11, 2010

My family and I were making a trip to West Texas to see family for the Christmas break and needed the extra cargo room. I researched and researched these bags before I selected this one (I also considered the Rain-X 161040). After reading the reviews on the Rain-X 161040 and the problems with the zippers, I chose this product. I was not disappointed.
We own a 2007 Toyota Highlander with a roof rack and sun roof and this cargo bag fit perfectly. I was able to put a small duffel, large duffel, medium-small carry-on suitcase, a large box that measures (14" X 10" X 25") and a smaller box. I also put a few smaller items to help fill it up. In all, it held most of our actual luggage which allowed us to put all of the Christmas presents in the back. I will admit that our cargo bag was stuffed. In fact,there were a few places where the corners of the box rubbed pretty tightly against the cargo bag material. I was concerned that during the trip the bag would rip due to friction and high winds. I was also concerned about the extreme cold causing the zipper to have issues (similar to the Rain-X 161040). We bought red bungee cords to help secure it, but after the trip up to Lubbock we realized it was wasted money - there was no need for the extra straps.
We had no troubles at all. The bag held up great, especially on the tight corners I mentioned. There was no sign of material wear. The zipper and other metal parts held up well in the extreme cold (well, extreme to us; 10 degrees F). The material is thicker than a typical rain tarp, but not so thick that its difficult to deal with. Zipping up the bag when it was full was not difficult. We didn't notice a big decrease in fuel economy. We typically get 22 MPG on the highway; with the bag, we got 21 MPG. We didn't notice any extra wind noise caused by the bag. I did forget to tie down the extra slack on one of the straps and it did flap a lot - but this was easily solved when we stopped for gas and I tied it down. After that, we didn't even know the bag was there. In fact, I kept catching myself looking at our shadow to ensure the bag was still up there. I do wish we had run into rain so that I could have tested the waterproof-ness of the product. Like others have said, it seems water proof. The zipper is protected by a flap (that velcro's over the zipper) that would prevent water from getting through the zipper. I have little doubt that it would have protected the items from water.
In all, I'm extremely happy with this bag. I like it because it held up in high winds and stores neatly in a small space in our garage. It's relatively inexpensive when you compare it to other models and easier to deal with than the hard shell cargo holders. It's quiet on the roof of our car and holds enough to help out when we travel to see family across the state. I'm glad that I made this purchase.
UPDATE (6/2/2010):
We finally used this on a trip that involved a heavy rain. Everything stayed dry. The rain was actually welcome as it washed the bugs off the carrier.

WOW - this holds alot - we even had extra room. We will pack more in the carrier next time. We are using this on camping trips. It rained and everything stated 100% dry. The straps work wonderful. I can't stay enough about this product!

This product held two large suitcases similar to ones purchased at Wal-Mart and two small bags. Drove from Jupiter, Florida to Utica New York. I used two ratchet tie downs in an "X" shape across the bag to be sure of nothing coming loose. At speeds as high as 87 m.p.h., none of the straps were loose upon arrival. Hit lots of bugs and minimal rain, suitcases were clean and dry!
worked well! April 22, 2009

This arrived in time for a big trip, and we were able to fit so much into the cargo bag. I don't know what we would have done without it. It worked great thru a long trip and lots of tough weather.

I was skeptical buying a cheap soft rooftop bag like this one, but after reading the reviews, I decided to take a chance. I am not much of a rooftop-cargo carrier myself, but had to carry a lot of things from VA to IL and back. That's almost 650 miles one way, with official highway speeds of 70 miles/hr. (Needless to say, I did a little over that).
This bag was pretty easy to place and secure on the roof, could carry an unbelievable amount of cargo, and held up extremely well throughout the trip. I did encounter a couple of hours of pouring rain, and upon arriving home, was surprised to find the contents dry!
If you are the occassional cargo carrier, look no further. This is a great bag, and will do as good as any other $200 bag.
