| It was exactly what we needed for our trip to Sacramento. It rained and our lugguage stayed dry. The only problem is that the straps make to much noise. You need to tie them down somehow. |

| "Works well for camping" | 2010-01-10 |

| To gain more space for camping equipment, I assumed I'd need a cargo box, but once I learned of Thule cargo bags I reconsidered. The obvious benefit of having something light weight that can be stashed in a bag made a lot of sense. So I poured over the positive user reviews of many alternative vendors' products available on Amazon. I ultimately chose the Tahoe because it has the most space, it's durable, and it doesn't require a specific spacing for the roof bars. I'm completely satisfied. It takes me about 5-10 minutes to strap it onto the bars, by myself. I'm able to put 2 tents, 2 kids chairs, 2 sleeping bags, 2 pillows, and 4 mattress rolls in it, by myself. One could probably get more into it, but my 2001 Sienna's bars are in a fixed position so a portion of the back of the bag rests on and behind the back bar. I don't know if they were necessary, but I went ahead and used 4 bungee cords to secure each corner to the roof rack side brackets. I'm especially pleased with how the zippers operate because I have to really stretch to reach the one that runs along the back of the bag and pull it with one finger. The bag is now stashed with the rest of the camping equipment. |

 "Handy roof rack" | 2009-09-12 |
| - Reviewed By leader of the pack from usa |
| This roof rack works great and is easy on and off and very secure. I also bought the 4 thule bags to go with it, because as a set it works very well. We put it on our roof rack and secure it with 2 extra bungee cords and it does no move an inch. We go on very long road trips 400- 600 miles. They only problem I have ( or else it would have been 5 stars), we were driving in hurricane Danny through Vermont to Maine and had a minimal amount of water sepage. I must add that the bag was also left on the car overnight as well. We usually wrap the luggage in garbage bags and have never had a problem, this time I was being lazy. But I would I would buy this again. It is light weight and easy, it folds up small so you can take it off when you get to your destination. We are a family of 5 and 1 dog and it has more than enough room for 2 weeks of stuff |

| A savior for long vacations! We finally have room in the car. I like that it is soft sided - can squeeze things into the corners. Easy to get on top because it is lightweight. Fits on our factory installed racks - did not have to purchase extra parts. |

 "It's not water resistant, not even close!" | 2009-08-26 |

| On the way to New Hampshire we hit a thunder storm. Within 10 min the bag was filled with water like a swimming pool. All my stuff were submerged in water and in fact the bag could hold the water inside for quite some time. The only thing good about this product is its large space, which is big enough to hold a lot of water with your stuff in it. When they say water resistant, I guess that means not 100% of water will get in. For this reason, I give 2 stars instead of 1. |

I purchased this bag for a family vacation this summer. The installation is easy, just strap it to the roof rails and snug up the loose ends. It is a large bag, but the claim that the sides will hold shape is misleading. The bag will shape itself around what you place in there. Also, while the documentation states it is water resistant, it will not keep out any water. We had the misfortune of driving through back-to-back heavy rains and there was about a quart of water inside the bag that had not been absorbed by the contents. If you use this bag, be aware that you will need to double- or triple-wrap any soft goods in plastic bags. I am going to replace this bag with a small, hard container that is more weather proof.
Update - Sept 8, 2009 - We spoke with Thule about how unhappy we were with this product due primarily to the issues with the water, and they graciously replaced the bag. For this reason, I am whole-heartedly recommending dealing with Thule for the majority of their products (just not this one).
Thule, you still have a customer for life! |
