Highland 10391 Kar Pak Waterproof Soft-Sided Car Top Carrier - 15 Cubic Feet

works great, zipper on two sides, January 06, 2009;   By: Adam Summerlin(Birmingham, AL USA)
I will be using it infrequently so I didn't want to spend a lot, but I wanted to keep my clothes dry. I drove through three hours of heavy rain without problem. The load didn't shift during the 12 hour trip. My only complaint is the zipper, while advertised as opening three sides (to make packing from both sides of the car easier) really only opens two sides - the back and the passenger side. This makes it more difficult to load heavy items. Suggestions - protect the roof from scratches with an old blanket or even a rug pad, and tether the excess strap after you pack with rubber bands, duct tape, or safety pins

Had read other reviews and this one seem to have good reviews so i purchased it, Actually worked good, Put 300 miles on it and never moved or came lose, I did stop and check it every 100 miles or so. The material appears to be pretty durable and i believe it will last a while, Havent had it in wet weather yet but i think it would do fine. One has to weigh out the options when buying soft sided carrier verses a hard carrier, I didnt plan on using it much so for the money it was worth it, If i used a roof mounted carrier a lot then the hard type would be better because there easier to load.The only draw back i see with this soft sided bag is the zipper doesnt unzip half way around the bag, It stops a little short so you cant really flip the top over and gain full access, Its kinda hard to load this bag if you have a full size SUV like a expedition or a suburban etc because they sit so high, I guess you could use a step ladder ? Fuel mileage suffered about 2-3 mile mpg less with the bag on the roof running 70 MPH.

Did a fine job for the price!, December 16, 2008;   By: Richard T. Mcneely
For the price, I don't think you'll be able to beat these bags.... I actually used them to haul luggage on a small utility trailer rather than on a car top.

My only gripe is that they're a bit rigid in cold weather and not really easy to zip/unzip then, but as long as it's warm they're super easy.

Excellent Carrier works great!, December 12, 2008;   By: M. Ford(Hudson, OH United States)
We looked at tons of Car Top Carriers and decided to try this one since it said it was waterproof, and the price was reasonable. We drove through rain, sleet, and snow for 7 hours and the carrier held up great! Everything stayed dry inside. Great carrier for the price.

We recently adopted a large dog from the local shelter. We make monthly trips to visit friends and family about 300 miles away. The addition of the new dog put space at a premium and we decided to purchase the Kar Pak Waterproof car top carrier. We are pleased with our purchase. It has withstood rain, sleet and now snow. It has also handled trips across the Mackinac Bridge with ease. Glad we got our Kar Pak. It definitely makes traveling with "all" of our stuff easier.
