Rightline Gear Sport 3 Rooftop Cargo Bag - Waterproof - 18 cu ft - 48" x 36" x 18"
Purchased this cargo bag on the road and the good folks at etrailer shipped to my hotel with no problems. The product is the perfect match for the Smittybilt Defender roof rack for Jeeps - it fills the dimensions and is 16-18" high providing enough room for a lot of gear. The product write-up is correct - rubberized zipper, fold over top, etc. This is a quality product perfect for the Defender roof rack. Many thanks to Donna at etrailer for her help.
Cargo bag is great!. Waterproof, durable with easy set up and take down (as advertised) PROVIDED TIE-DOWN STRAPS ARE HORRIBLE!!!! Drove from Houston, TX to Miami, FL. Stopped in Bonifay FL to rest for the night. During the 10 hour drive to Bonifay, I had to pull over at least 10 times to adjust and/or tighten the straps. They did not stay tight. Over time they would work themselves loose and start to slap the top of the vehicle. That night I was going to fold it up pack our luggage in the Tahoe and return the cargo bag as soon as I got back from our vacation. I was very happy with the cargo BAG so I decided to go to the local WalMart and purchase a few ratchet straps instead. Once I tied down the cargo bag with the new straps, instantly it felt more secure. I threw the provided straps in the trash. We didn't have any problems for the rest of the trip to Miami including the 18 hour drive home. Something needs to be done with the cheap plastic clips on the provided tie-down straps. They do not stay tight. Over time they work themselves loose and start to slap the top of the vehicle. I knew the load wasn't going to go anywhere so a few times I would just let it slap the top of the truck for miles because I was tired of dealing with it. I would definitely recommend this product, but If you are going to purchase this product I would suggest you use a couple ratchet straps, it will definitely make your trip a lot less stressful.

Rhino-Rack Rooftop Cargo Bag - Waterproof - 17.5 cu ft - 59" x 43" x 11-1/2"
Only used it for one trip to Colorado and the bag started coming apart. Had it secured good to roof rack. I really liked this bag, fit my roof rack perfect, maybe I just got a defective one.
Overall this functioned exactly liked I had hoped it would. My application was a 2800 mile round trip during winter. I used the bag in my truck bed of my pickup under a tonneau cover that is not water tight. I figured driving that much during winter I was bound to hit some good snow storms or rain in the south. I did hit heavy rain and snow during the trip and the water proof functionality worked perfectly. The reason for only a 3 star versus a 5 star is that after returning home and unpacking it seems the bottom is not very durable and the suitcases caused wear holes in the bottom. I bought some gorilla tape and patched at least 7 or 8 holes so should be good for next trip and I will try to be extra careful on packing so I do not damage the delicate underbelly.

Thule Interstate Rooftop Cargo Bag - Water Resistant - 16 cu ft
I really like this bag. Fits basket! And you can stuff a lot into it. Not hard to take on and off. We did not have any issues with rain either!
The waterproof outer shell quickly (after a couple months) developed small holes/cracks that slowly seep water in the rain. The bag therefore lost its water resistant feature. Otherwise the bag is easy to install, lightweight (compared to hard shell alternatives), and I found it reasonably easy to access, open, and close. Before the small holes, the bag was water resistant. I took it on a trip in the rain and there were no leaks.

Rightline Gear Car Back Carrier - Waterproof - 13 cu ft - 40" x 20" x 28"
I have a Nissan NV 200 cargo van. This lets me carry stuff without being cartop and reducing mileage and in lieu of little trailer to reduce speeds to less than interstate highways. It it can ride high enough that the backup camera is not blocked. This appears to be WELL MADE. There was no cartop carrier so I have fasteners 300# rated with SS bolts to the factory provisions for a carton carrier. Just use rated carabiner to attach straps.
Love this bag! We load all our snowmobile gear in it and put it in the bed of our pick up truck. Keeps it dry during our driving trip and it’s only one trip to/from Truck to motel room. Great investment !

Rhino-Rack Rooftop Cargo Bag - Waterproof - 12 cu ft - 47" x 37-1/2" x 11-1/2"
We run a private SUV service in Colorado and just purchased our third Rhino Rack RRLB 350. This rooftop bag offers 12 cubic feet of capacity and has been used in several wet weather conditions without a single issue. This bag has kept our clients personal belongings dry in every storm, period. This 350 Model will easily hold two LARGE suitcases and one medium suitcase. If you need to hold more than that, there are two other models that offer more capacity than the 350.
Excellent product, completely waterproof. Bag was easy to install with adjustable straps everywhere. Bag compresses nicely after your items are inside. Very happy with the product!

CargoSmart Rooftop Cargo Bag - Waterproof - 15 cu ft
The bag is excellent but the straps and in particular the snap buckles are cheap pieces of crap. We just returned from vacation and all but two snap buckles failed. I could change out the snap buckles but they are sewn into the fabric. If the buckles were good this bag is great.
The bag has good capacity and it kept our things dry on the drive to the beach during a decent downpour. Unfortunately two of the four straps broke on the first use. Luckily I had extra tie downs to hold it in place. If you’re going to use plastic buckles for your straps then they need to be strong. These apparently are not. I’m not sure if my experience is one-off or if this is common for this product. Would have rated at least four stars if not for the straps.

Rhino-Rack Rooftop Cargo Bag - Waterproof - 8.5 cu ft - 43" x 31-1/2" x 11-1/2"
It looks and feels like it will do the job! I bought this luggage bag for the recent purchased Rhino-Rack XTray small roof basket. It arrived quicker than originally promised. Unlike the roof basket the luggage bag was boxed well and not damaged in transit like the roof basket was.
Drove across the country with this bag, through rain and wind. Very happy with the bag's performance. When full it never took in water at all. The only issue I had was that I left it on the vehicle overnight in a hotel parking lot with nothing inside it and it rained; because the bag was sitting flat and empty, water got inside and it was a hassle to dry it out the next morning so I could get on the road. I don't fault the bag for this; it is designed to be waterproof when there is enough stuff inside it to give it some height (such that the flaps cover the zippers). If you need a waterproof roof bag I recommend this one; just don't be stupid and leave it on when it's empty!
