Description

Consider taking extra steps for waterproofing. Try using plastic or garbage bags if there are items you want to remain unaffected by the weather. If you overload the cargo carrier, it will come with considerable problems in situations where you have to take sharp turns. The weight of the carrier is important from two perspectives. Some people who have a roof box leave it on the car but two things to mention: they greatly increase fuel consumption and might be a problem with low bridges (depending where you live!) Price This casing also goes a long way to protect your belongings from harsh weather conditions and moisture. First, the roof rails of your car have a weight limit that is usually found in the owner’s manual, often 100 pounds/45KG. Secondly, the weight of the load impacts car maneuverability when cornering and if the load is too heavy or unbalanced, it can lead to accidents. This is why you need to ensure that the weight of your load does not exceed the maximum allowed weight on the roof of your car.

We tested the products we recommend in this review and evaluated them based on storage capacity, ease of installation, aerodynamics, and durability. We chose products designed for carrying additional luggage and stowable items. This isn’t a review of the best rooftop cargo carriers for specialty equipment such as skis, bikes, and snowboards. Someday soon, we at the Hearst Autos Gear Team intend to perform a test of our own on rooftop cargo carriers; stay tuned for that. In the meantime, here's what testers, scientists, and editors at the Good Housekeeping Institute discovered when they set out to determine the Best Rooftop Cargo Carriers. This Cargo Bag from BougeRV promises strong, reliable performance and is clearly designed with tough conditions in mind. The zippers are waterproof sealed and covered with a flap.I have shortlisted different sized roof bags to cater for anything from single travelers to large families and big vehicles. The straps provided are utterly useless. I resorted to heavy-duty bungee cords, and everything stayed put. I’ll use it again but with bungee cords. The straps don’t stay tight, and the ends don’t stay put. You have to pull over and retighten and retie everything every 50 miles.” With a universal design and metal construction, this luggage carrier is one of the simplest and most durable designs on the market. It represents a solution that is easy to use and even looks a bit retro. Made with a metal frame with a length of 43 inches and a width of 39 inches, the carrier is easy to store when not in use due to its compact size. If you don't have the space to store a full-size, hard-sided roof box, this practical, collapsible bag design will fold flat enough to be stored under a bed. With 15 cubic-feet of space, you'll be able to stuff it with an impressive amount of gear, and thanks to the IPX5 water jet-tested rubberized fabric and urethane coated zippers, it will keep out all but the very worst weather. The aerodynamic shape is a welcome point of difference to the boxy competition, and will keep noise to a minimum.

This roof bag from Austrian brand Fischer is made out of water-repellent polyamide material with a strong zip and sealed seams for a high level of weather protection, and unlike some other offerings has metal supports along its base for secure mounting on any rail system. The Fivklemnz rooftop cargo carrier has proven to be incredibly popular with consumers looking for extra storage space. It offers up to 15 cubic feet of additional storage space, enough room to carry four to six suitcases. Like our review team, a few people deem the strap system less than ideal. Some find it necessary to use their own bungee cords. One customer says their bag wore away after one trip. While this didn’t appear common, the material of the Roof Master is less robust than some of the other bags we tested. Even SUV owners may run out of room for that fifth or sixth suitcase. Folding rear seats to expand cargo space isn’t always an option with a full load of passengers. Lightweight cargo carriers strap to the top of your vehicle, store bulky items and easily fold away when not in use, unlike hard-shell rooftop cargo carriers. A good cargo bag adds storage options without adding unnecessary weight—many vehicles cap rooftop load at 150 pounds—but remains sturdy enough to handle whatever wet or snowy weather. Look for a cargo bag that will be lightweight, waterproof and sit securely on the roof. The last thing a driver wants to see in their rearview mirror is an unsecured cargo bag sliding off the top of their vehicle. Sizes:43 x 39 x 6 inches | Weight:37 pounds | Capacity:N/A | Access: Open | Load capacity: 150 pounds

This holds a lot! To give you an idea, one reviewer transported four people’s clothing, four sleeping bags, a huge carpet, two double air mattresses, four folding chairs, a pop up beach shelter, two big rolls of kitchen towel and still had room for more.

After installing each rooftop cargo carrier, we loaded it with test cargo and took it for a road test, noting the amount of noise the product produced and how much drag it added to our vehicle. This setup also ships with a handy cargo net for keeping contents safe, and while it works when fully loaded, we'd suggest using your own straps and bungee chords for added peace of mind. We've thoroughly research and tested a vast assortment of rooftop storage options to discover the best rooftop cargo carriers, baskets and bags for your needs. And to bolster our research with expert insights, we also sat down with Mike Kreis, an REI sales and service specialist, for his invaluable advice on how to buy and use the best rooftop cargo carriers.

One of the most trusted brands in rooftop storage, Thule's extra-large cargo carrier is also aerodynamic and easy to use. GHI testers were able to load seven pairs of skis into the Force XT XL and, even at high speeds with a full load, wind noise and drag were minimal. Soft cargo bags are great for people who do not want to always have the cargo box mounted on the roof of their car, or are limited for space at home,” explains Mike. “It is worth spending the extra on a cargo bag that will be waterproof and also durable.” Remember You're Carrying A Cargo Roof Box Another important aspect to remember when using a cargo carrier is to secure the load. Regardless of the design you use, there are different straps that can be used to keep the load in place. You want to avoid situations where the load can move when cornering, as this can lead to accidents or things falling out and posing a risk to other motorists. When you’re on the road you can think of your roof box as an additional car boot, with your contents protected from impact. Car Roof Bag If you’re looking to expand your vehicle’s storage space, a rooftop cargo carrier is a great option. Obviously, your purchasing decision should be guided by your car and whether or not it has cross bars or roof rails equipped.
