HandiHoldall - 175L Waterproof Roof Bag / Top Box (Black) – Large Cargo Carrier - Solid Foldable Base

The bag was secure on the roof bars with straps provided didn’t budge. Drove from Maidenhead to Croyde wind and heavy rain at one point. When we arrived there was some water in the bottom only small amount, but all our gear was in sturdy bags and didn’t get wet. I put one less waterproof bag in bin liner as someone else suggested, top tip. Overall very pleased solved a problem as I needed additional space but still needed space for surfboards. A bit fiddly getting straps tightened next to the boards I had to clamber on the bag to reach over to do it but it was ok. Great thing was it just packed away into its bag, nice and compact when we got there. I will be thinking of the complimentary bags that are the correct size to go with it next time. Just because with your own bags you don’t use all the space efficiently.

We have a large 4x4 and with our Exodus roof box pushed to one side there was enough room to put this bag beside it. We used it for camping and it was perfect for us to pack all our clothes (family of 4) and then live out of the bag in the tent while we were away.Firstly due to it being a soft bag it does not stand to the dimensions described and became wider than 40cm, but still fit where I wanted it to go. There are four short straps to go around your roof bars and these do make the bag very secure, but are very fiddly to get in place, I found some needle nose pliers helped. There are also four longer straps to put around the bag to help keep it in place. We filled the bag to about 80% capacity with clothes and the straps were not long enough to go around the bag. I had two alternate straps that were longer that I put around the bag and used as extra straps to secure to the roof bars. I used three of the longer straps provided daisy chained together that I put around the bag and my roof box as I found on a test run that when the bag is full of clothes (making it soft) it moved around a bit, so strapping it to the box sorted this out.All in all the bag is very sturdy, made of a good material. There is a flap to cover the zip which makes it pretty much water tight and there was a lot of room in it for all our clothes and blankets. It did the job we bought it for and freed up room in the boot and roof box usually taken up with our clothes. Plus made a great storage unit in our tent for all the clothes.

As a single mum of 4 children and having a small Yaris, I got this. It was easy to put on to my roof bars and secure. It was a life saver as it meant I could take what I needed on holiday. I would recommend this product if you have a small car.

Bought this because it appeared to be an ideal way to carry a large tent and still leave room for a bicycle on the roof of my car, which has roof bars. Product was very compact on delivery, would certainly be easy to store. Fiddly to fit and secure, with no less than eight straps, this is exacerbated by having to secure half of these right in the middle of the car roof, where they are out of reach. The photo that accompanies the instructions is not for this product, but for the full car sized 400 L bag which is secured at the corners of the roof. The bag has to be initially attached empty then, after the load has been added, there is a bizarre arrangement of four 1.5 M straps which pass through loops in the holdall and double back on themselves, I would have thought it would be simpler and more secure to have just two 4 M straps that went right over the bag and back. Anyway the result, with the tent packed, looked extremely inelegant, nothing like the photo on Amazon, more like a sack of potatoes, and I was not at all convinced it would have been secure, safe or legal to go charging down the motorway with it attached, so it has all going back for a refund on Monday. Waste of a Saturday afternoon,but then you win some and you lose some. Open to suggestions about how to carry my tent.

Essential bit of storage on a recent festival trip with metal rood bars. Fitted snugly next to a Halfords XL roofbox. Main points:It doesn't look like the photo. It has no shape by itself, just a floppy bag. I made sides and bottom out of cardboard to give it the shape of the photo, and this helped visualise how much stuff it could fit.The straps are really fiddly, and expect to spend about 30 mins putting them on and tightening - do this in daylight if you can! Make sure the buckle is directly under the roof bar (if using metal roof bars).Waterproofness - it didn't rain during the 8 hour round trip! But the material feels thick and waterproof and in any case, i filled this with trolley, camping chairs, cooker - basically nothing that would soak up water.Overall, a life saving bit of kit. Fastening the straps (especially on the way back, in the dark!) had me questioning my will to live, but the festival would have been far worse without the extra bit of gear that we wouldn't have otherwise been able to take. Rolled back up small ready for next year!

Product seems okI was after the size statedFirst wrong size sent then the smaller one came and still not the right sizeMain problem isn’t the product really I’m sure it will do what it should just bigger than it statedTrying to get my refund is shocking been months and constantly trying to get itNot happy at all with Amazon at allIt’s a joke

Secure and easy to use. Folds away nicely. Only issue was the small hole on a seam that it arrived with. Didn't return as needed the next day.

Fits on the roof rack no problem very secureWater proof no rain got thruFits all of our kayaking gear
