"We just came back from a 1700 mile camping trip around Scotland and back through Wales with this roof bag packed full on top of a roof rack, and I have to say it was marvelous, did the job well and got tons of stuff in it, probably a lot more than a very expensive roof rack pod. It survived gales and driving rain for most of that time and stayed securely strapped on the rack.
There are some flaws & disadvantages, but fortunately I read the earlier reviews so mostly sorted these out:
1) the MDF support board absolutely must be covered and sealed in plastic (we used a large strong plastic bag) or it will be soaked and is porous so will not last.
2) the bag material is water resistent but not waterproof, so it's another must to put your items in strong bags inside the roof bag. We had our sleeping bags and clothes bags up there but used strong recycle type bags tied up to seal them, and they stayed dry. The bag itself did get soaked
3) You have to take stuff down each night if you aren't happy with security of your car as it can be unzipped, but we didn't have any problems with that
We did have some mishaps with our first one and wound up taking it back to Argos in Cumbria as one of the straps came off (i probably pulled too hard on it) and a buckle broke. The buckles are made of plastic, not metal so they are more fragile than they should be, so beware of that!
With the replacement one, we just took care not to put too much stress on the buckles and they were fine.
You do, however, have to strap it down well and tightly to be safe on the car.
Overall, a great money-saver and a great idea from Argos, I don't think you can buy things like this elsewhere. And very surprising how much it can hold."

"Cheap price compared to others. Holds a huge amount of luggage. Only problems : it is just wide enough to fit the bars on the car (half inch to spare either side!!). Bottom of bag tends to sag and flap against the roof so made it a bit noisy. On the other hand, it was safe even at 80 mph along the motorways - have read of some roof boxes opening which was why I went for this bag. Was really safe when tied on with all 8 straps even though we only have roof bars. Material, zips and straps are all really sturdy and would be waterproof, although we had no rain to speak of. Much easier to store than a roof box too as it folds completely flat. All in all, a good buy."

"we bought this as a last minute purchase to fit all of our luggage in the day before we left for a short break. I was very suprised at the large capacity of this roof bag and its a great cost effective alternative to a roof box."

"I bought this roof bag when it was on sale, its a great item,we used it for our recent camping trip to north wales,on our return it was raining quite heavy but all the items remained dry, however i would recommend putting your items in bin bags to be on the safe side.
this bag can hold quite a lot and is easily stored unlike a roof box .

Good product but some snags

"The bag itself is excellent. My criticisms are with the base board mdf not being sealed for example. I took the bag camping last week and experienced heavy rain whilst camped and I had forgotten to zip up after unpacking, water got in and soaked the board. I removed the board on the night of return, placed in a well ventilated shed but with high humidity this week drying is slow and mildew forms daily and I am wiping off daily until dry. The board should have been sealed by manufacturer at minimal cost with a non tainting acrylic seal. Such a stupid omission for a product intended for out door use. The bag itself is strong and water tight. The enclosed fitting instructions are poor photos illegible. They suggestplacing the un zipped side towards the front of the car to keep out rain better than a zipped side. Very sensible but on the sales photo the heavy straps are used to hold down to the roof rails. Again sensible but two of the heavy straps are attached to the non zip side a therefore you must place the un zipped side along the car leaving a zip towards the front of the car leaving the front vulnerable to rain. Suggestions to manufacturer: Seal base board, and hinge in the middle to allow to fold for more compact size for storage in cupboard or loft for example. Get the orientation of the straps right. Provide a means of fixing to the roof rack before filling. In spite of above a really good buy for a huge strong trans port bag or storage in garage (winter storage for some of my camping kit), under bed, in loft if you have big enough a loft hatch A really good buy and don't be put off just be aware of potentiaal snags."
