RoofPax Car Roof Bag & Rooftop Cargo Carrier - 15 Cubic Feet Heavy Duty Bag, 100% Waterproof Excellent Military Quality Roof-Top Car Bag - Fits All Cars with/Without Rack - 4 Door Hooks Included

The box was fine, a great idea and ready to install. We returned it because it can not go on top of of a panoramic glass roof.

This pack worked well on our 2024 Subaru Crosstrek (with the factory roof rails) and I recommend the pack. First off, it did not come with a pad so I bought that separately (Mockins?). I don't know that the pack would have slipped without the pad, but with the pad the pack did not slip at all. I used a stepladder to load the pack (after placing the pack on the car) & I took the stepladder with us for unloading/reloading (definitely take your stepladder if you can). The pack itself is made of material that seems durable. The zippers were big & solid. We had no rain, but the zippers are covered by a pretty good size flap & it appeared that the pack would be able to withstand rain. During travel (six hours each way) there was a little more wind noise than normal for our car, but not much; I twisted the straps & that seemed to work to reduce wind noise. I liked that each strap has a velcro piece at the end so you can gather up the slack. Our mileage only diminished by .3 miles per gallon according the car's computer, so that was no big deal. All told it was really nice not to worry about all the bulky stuff & using the pack allowed us more room in the car. Inflatable paddle board, beach umbrella, folding beach chair, gym bag with bike stuff, a bunch of extra towels, dog bed; all of it went on top, no problem.

I love this bag so much I need to shorten my review! Me: 5' 4", 60 year old disabled female who travels between Tucson and Detroit every summer. I bought a new RAV4 hybrid and didn't want to damage my car with putting anything directly on the roof with a sunroof so I also ordered a luggage rack along with the Roof Pax bag. I already had factory installed roof rails so I didn't need to buy those. Both arrived quickly and without damage and no missing parts. Very easy install for both items. I opened the bag and did a trial run for packing it on my living room floor. This helped me a great deal for time. I installed both items myself very easy. I am short, so I needed a ladder to haul everything up and overhead. There's the time consuming thing. Moving the ladder around the car to load and tie down by yourself takes time. Get some help and it'll go much faster. My neighbor helped me unload when I arrived in Michigan and only took 10 minutes to unload. Now, the review. PROS: Everything! They left no stone unturned. The bag looked and felt substantial. The outer layer felt like it would hold up under my driving conditions and I was impressed right out of the box. The inner layer has some kind of rubberized coating for waterproofing. The zipper is concealed under a flap that has velco to hold it down. It came with a small lock so you can lock lock the 2 zippers together for security. It has straps all the way around to tie it down to your car. The straps have a velco piece attached at the end so you can secure the loose ends so they don't flap in the breeze. It came inside a storage bag with clips if you want to attach this bag through your windows without using a roof rack. The only CON to this so far is, how am I ever going to fold this thing back down into a storage bag? I haven't tried it yet but it doesn't matter as I have a garage. My testing of the bag: This bag took 3 days of driving in over 100 degree temps and a about 30 minutes of rain in Missouri. I drove the speed limit sometimes. Usually I'm the 10 mph over the speed limit driver on the freeway. I was pretty much 75-80 mph fully loaded with this bag though. I arrived without incident to the bag in Michigan in time for father's day. No visible damage to the bag, or to the car. My neighbor helped my unload and take the bag off in 10 minutes. No water made it through the bag and all my items were no worse for the wear. I'll return to Tucson in October. If something goes awry, I'll update this review. Here's my advice. Read other people's reviews and see what may have went wrong. Most negative comments about about roof bags of any make came from people tying these things down to their windows and having the bags rest ON THE ROOF. High winds and drag on these bags tells me they won't hold up to this abuse. Even with the bag loaded properly as per Roof Pax instruction, the drag on the luggage kills gas mileage. The RAV4 hybrid gets about 45mpg unloaded. Not on this trip I assure you. Load the roof bag so you have no hard pieces of suitcases like wheels facing the sides and front of the bag where winds at these speeds will damage anything. I don't advise any bag directly on the roof unless it's an emergency move on a short trip. As much as I spent for my car, I wanted NO damage to it. Use a luggage rack and secure the straps to that instead of your windows. I worried about the plastic clips on the straps holding up, but they did just fine. The Roof Pax is a 5 star, 2 thumbs up from me. I recommend this item under the conditions I stated. I would buy this again.

I drive a Tesla with roof racks, and this cargo bag was absolutely perfect for my setup. It’s large and offers plenty of space for multiple suitcases and gear, making it ideal for road trips. The only issue I ran into was one of the zipper pulls snapping, which made it a little more difficult to zip the bag back up. Other than that, it performed well overall. I also recommend using a roof basket underneath it to help make it more secure and potentially more energy efficient while driving. Overall, it’s a solid option for extra storage when you need it.

I purchased this roof bag after researching A LOT of other bags, and this one appeared to be the best value for the money. I move around a lot, and own more stuff than a person who moves around that much really should, so I wanted some extra cargo space for my 2016 Kia Soul and this was far cheaper than buying a hard cargo case. So, the set up. I was baffled for a good hour trying to attach it to my car, even after watching numerous videos and reading instructions. As it turns out, pulling the weather stripping back from the car door feels like breaking that part of the car. You have to really dig your fingers underneath and pull to get it off, at least on my car. With that done though, I was able to easily fit all of the hooks into the doors (and was later able to reattach the weather stripping with no problem). This caused a little extra noise while driving, but no water leaks. It has A LOT of space; I had put all of my clothes and bedding into vacuum seal bags, and fit 6 large and 8 extra large filled bags up there, along with pillows and some loose items. The zipper is a little tricky to pull around, so have a step ladder handy. My big complaint here was that the middle straps are shorter than the front and back straps. I don't understand this. I picked this bag largely because it offered six points of attachment, but trying to lock down the middle straps utterly ruins your cargo allowance, especially if you're trying for an aerodynamic shape. I ended up locking them down with bungee cords, and once everything was tightened it seemed secure. I was driving from CA to CO, which is pretty straightforward highway driving. I checked the straps regularly, and the bag didn't budge, even at high speeds. The real test was when I hit a storm on the Nevada border, the kind of storm where you can't see twenty feet ahead of you through the hail and rain, and the wind makes you wonder if a tornado is coming. I checked the bag at the next stop, it hadn't moved an inch and everything inside was dry, so A+ in that area. It definitely did the job. I'm not sure how well it will hold up over time, but it seems sturdy enough for at least a handful of long trips. I'll be interested to see how it holds up on my next move.
