We bought this Lund bag based on reviews and hoped for the best. We were traveling about 5 hours upstate in a jeep with limited storage space - having been used to all of the room we had loved about our old minivan. We found a lot of rooftop bags online that were in the 0 - 0 range with reviews that were not-so-great. We also saw the hard sided rooftop carriers f0r 0+ that we would have liked but didn't consider buying because we think we'll be buying a new minivan by next year and won't need a rooftop carrier. We figured it was certainly worth a try for . The Lund bag has a soft fabric bottom so it won't scratch your car roof - the use of the straps are pretty self-explanatory and there's a one-sheet diagram included which shows how to use the straps and buckles. (The night before we left I laid it out on the floor to see what we could get into it.) It took us no more than 5 minutes to get it filled and strapped down on the roof, good to go. We took the advice in another review and used large safety pins to pin the loose strap ends to keep them from slapping against the roof. The bag held three substantial suitcases, 2 large bags of towels (kitchen garbage bags)and if needed we could have squeezed more in. Keep in mind that the straps come down across the zipper opening so once strapped down it's difficult to get big items out if you forget something. The zipper is heavy duty (larger pulls would have made it easier) and goes around three sides of the carrier so it can be used for oversized items. We have a luggae rack on the roof so we didn't use the clips so I can't comment on how they work. After a 5 hour drive upstate and 5 hours back (at speeds up to 80) there was not so much as a frayed or pulled seam. We didn't encounter any rain so I cannot comment on it's water resistance - but if you put the non-zippeded side toward the front of the car it would certainly minimize on wind driven rain getting in.
We are still amazed at the great value of . We concluded that the cost savings more than makes up for any minimal difference in gas mileage due to drag. Yes - it's not as pretty as the name-brand hard sided carriers - but we were happy to have the 0 - 0 savings in our pockets. While we may not use it a lot in the future - it was worth it even if we never use it again. Huge bargain for a great product!

Customer Reviews


Great value! - Maria E. Fraietta - Denver, Colorado
I bought this only because it was well-reviewed. I was surprised that it was so inexpensive compared to others. I was not disappointed--the bag held a TON of camping gear and held up perfectly. We did drive in heavy rain so I put a tarp on top; therefore I can't really attest to the weatherproofing of the product. I can say, however, that with the tarp, everything inside was totally dry.

I do have roof racks so we utilized those; although I can see how it would work just fine without them. The soft bottom of the bag did not scratch my car at all. The zippers were fine and we had no trouble, but they weren't super-heavy weight or anything, so I can foresee some problems if you were really trying to stuff the bag full.

Overall, I don't know why anyone would spend more for similar products--this one works just great!
