Streetwize Car Roof Top Cargo Bag Carrier Ideal for Cars with Existing Roof Rails

I read many reviews on this product and also saw it advertised in various guises and prices before plumping for this one.I couldn't get the roofbox that I wanted on time so in the end took a chance on this one at £26.00 delivered. Be aware that it is also advertised by some sellers at £50-£75), but seems to be the same bag.In the end this arrived and worked extremely well, the one that I got seemed to have some of the previous flaws fixed and was more than enough for our needs, taking 3 extremely large holdalls and several smaller bags with ease. The straps and buckles are well made and stitched to the top of the carrier, The bottom of the bag is very soft and didn't scratch our roof. The Carrier is water resistant (but not 100% water proof). It has two zips, that are better quality than previous reviews would suggest (probably an older version).In short if you are going on holiday and want to cheaply get there and back without an expensive roofbox then try this. Even if it only lasts 1 trip you will be quids in. (NOTE: Mine is still in one piece, no problems or rips and is back in the box ready for next holiday).I made some notes and tips below:1. The Carrier is very large and works best when full, no bits to flap about on the motorway.2. Carrier has 4 straps on the top of the bag, these are reasonably strong, however you will need additional straps to hold down the front of the Carrier at motorway speeds.3. I used 2 Bungees (£5 for a tub from Asda) and 2 of these (4 x HEAVY DUTY 5m x 25mm TIE DOWN STRAPS CAM BUCKLES CAR LUGGAGE CARGO TRAILER) from Amazon.4. Ensure that if you have stiff rails on the bottom of any of the luggage in the carrier that these are put at the front of the bag and placed at right angles to the first straps. (NOTE: on our first journey I placed a holdall widthways in the carrier before the first straps and the whole thing lifted up because the straps behind it created a hinge.5. You will need a stepladder or stout chair to load this carrier (we have a new Xtrail and I am nearly 6ft and it was still a stretch with a chair).6. You CANNOT load this carrier on the ground and then put it on the car. (unless it is full of feathers).7. You will need to be capable of lifting your bags over your head to get them safely onto the car roof and into the carrier.8. You CANNOT strap the Carrier down until it is loaded, at least partially. (So watch out in high winds).9. Load the carrier from the front then put on the straps to secure.10. Use even pressure on straps and go round the straps in a circle tightening as evenly as you can. (don't go nuts or they will damage the bag).11. The Carrier is waterproofed, but not 100% of water is stopped, This is fairly standard for fabric with waterproof lining in my experience but still provided a good degree of protection for our luggage. If you need 100% then put your luggage in bin bags before loading.I hope that this helps you, I saved over £150 on getting roof bars and a semi solid roofbox. Also it folded back into its little box so no storage issues.Happy trails.

1.)Das Teil kam schon mit kaputten Reissverschluss an. Ich musste , um das Teil anzuwenden zweimal Reissverschlussstopper nähen, sonst wäre keine sichere Funktion möglich gewesen.2.) auch wenn es billig war, aber der Antirutschboden ist so fragil, dass jede kleinste Unebenheit beim Packen der Tasche zu Deformationen führt und wenn man einen steinigen Untergrund hat, gibt es auch kleine Risse.3.) Wenn man die Halterungen auf dem Dach fest anzieht, reisst einfach die Naht an den Halteriemen. Das Nähmaterial, welches eingesetzt wurde ist nicht für solche Belastungen ausreichend fest.Ich kann nur warnen: Für den Einsatz Ex und Hopp geeignet, aber nicht mehr. Fotos nach 2 maligem Gebrauch für den Transport eines Schlauchbootes mit 18 kg Last ! Das Teil ist nicht nur ungeeignet, sondern auch gefährlich beim Einsatz auf Fahrzeugen.

No podemos estar más contentos con esta compra. Metemos casi todo lo más voluminoso para ir el camping y aguanta fenomenal. Plegable y ocupa un mínimo espacio en casa a diferencia del arcon que es lo que a nosotros nos iba mejor.

J'étais septique quant à l'étanchéité de la matière de ce coffre et à sa résistance à la déchirure ( dixit le commentaire négatif d'un client), mais après plus de 900 kms avec pluie, neige et raffales de vents, le coffre souple est arrivé en parfait état ainsi que les articles qu'il contenait.L'intérieur est resté parfaitement sec même si la neige à formé de la glace à l'avant, rien n'est passé au travers: bluffant !!Il faut juste être bien vigilant au niveau de l'arrimage et des protections de zips.Enfin énorme gain dé place pour le stocker en deux utilisations, et ça, c'est juste génialBref, je suis très satisfait de mon achat.Pour moi, c'est Le coffre de toit quasi idéal et je le recommande +++Petit bémol: la prise au vent mais ça c'est le cas de la plupart des coffres et autres galerie.Détail très important: le fond du coffre est souple, lui aussi et doit être impérativement posé directement sur le toit du véhicule et il est donc totalement incompatible avec les barres de toit transversales, càd perpendiculaires à la route

Ok, first things first - don't be put off by the price! This item performs far better than the price tag suggests.Negatives are you can't really fill it in situ so you need muscle to get it onto the roof. Also the zips are too flimsy (heavy duty please), the webbing straps should be continuous over the top of the bag so as not to stress the material, the zips also need another pair of runners so you can easily open each side at the front so as to optimise the fill, and it's bloody noisy if you don't get it filled right (see point above).Positives - it's a fantastic piece of removable kit that stood up top 1500 miles on top of my xc90 with around 9 hours of that in a torrential downpour with me driving at 80 mph most of the time, and with 2 hours standing in the rain before we left. The inside of the bag as still pretty much dry (I did use waterproof liners as well, but needn't have done so. The best bit was being able to totally remove it from the car once we had arrived thus no need to drive around with a fuel guzzling carbuncle strapped to the top of your car. Easy to attach (but do tie down the strap-ends as they could work loose) and remove and folds to nothing.This is not a piece of kit that can outperform a Thule for regular use, but for occasional trips (once a year holidays, etc), save your cash and buy one, just don't overload your car roof!If the manufacturer can improve it as I have suggested it would be a cracking piece of kit that would be more usable for regular trips as opposed to occasional ones.Great buy and cost less than the roof bars alone (also cost only 25% of the cost of hiring a box for 2 weeks!) so can't complain one bit.
