Was skeptical but came away impressed
After significant research we decided on this bag because it seemed to satisfy our need and is priced at a fraction of the cost of Roof rack and travel box. Since we will likely use it two or three times a year spending the $120 is much easier to digest than $1,000 for the rack set up. First off, it is pretty big. We used it on a 2016 Ford Explorer and because the roof rack does not have anything to attach the bag to, it was secured through the doors. This results in a slight increase in road noise but nothing too distracting for our 300 mil each way road trip. It did not rain so I can not comment on the waterproof ability. Because the bag is pret be, make sure you do fill it as directed in the instructions. I placed the heavier stuff in the rear section of the bag. We cruised at 74 mph during the trip and did increase to higher speeds briefly to pass a truck or other vehicle and experienced no shifting or bag movement. I must say that I was a bit doubtful of the whole set u, especially with having to attach through the doors, but I am very impressed. Because there can be a fair amount of desbris on the front of the bag after the trip, bugs and stuff, I recommend cleaning it while the bag is full and attached to the car before removing the contents and taking the bag off. It just makes cleaning it easier.
