Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Bought the 15 cu ft for my 2012 Subaru Outback to go to the beach. It came with instructions on how to secure it in different fashions. I used the side bar approach. First off, the material is fantastic. The straps are pretty good too. I wasn't going to doubt that it'd hold all (and more) or keep my stuff dry, but we came into contact with no rain on the 6 hour trip. The ride down was hampered tremendously by the bag, but we'd no inclination to stop and try to fix it. Basically couldn't drive over 60-65 without a LOT of noise and resistance. However, after visiting the FAQs on the site and reading reviews on amazon here, turns out that you reeeeealllly need to make sure the front portion of the bag that will come in contact with the all the air resistance is full. And that made all the difference. The trip back saw me pushing it past 75 for short intervals, but 70mph was perfectly fine with a little noise since we had nothing that was heavy enough to fill the whole front portion. I was speculating that buying Roofbag's luggage bag things would solve that issue or creating a custom piece of something hard to meet the wind. In the end I was happy and good gracious it holds so much stuff! The bugs that collect on front of the bag is pretty gross though, haha!
