We were on vacation in Williamsburg, VA and needed more room inside the van we were driving. We saw this product online and checked to see if it was available in the local store, which is was, although it cost about [$]. It was easy to attach to the roof rack, even though the van we were using has the stow n go cross bars. After driving more than 300 miles home the carrier was easy to refold and put back into the storage bag. It appears to be of good quality and we have no doubt it would be rainproof, but we didn't drive through any rain. We would definately recommend this product to a friend. see less

We drove from San Diego to Seattle for Christmas, and we bought one of these for our trip. It held up great! It was very quiet and easy to use. I was also able to FIT IT BACK IN THE BAG after I used it!! It was waterproof and overall we were completely satisfied. see less

We purchased this item at our local Target store. We own a smaller SUV now and have less room inside for our baggage when travelling. The inside of the carrier had a coating that cracked and peeled off onto everything inside of it. I assume that the coating was the rainproof part. It rained during our trip home and everything inside the carrier became wet. I'm giving it 2 stars because it did hold our baggage securely and out of the way. Perhaps it was just this one model that was defective, but I'm not sure I would chance purchasing another one. see less

Held a large and med suitcase plus more. Drove 7 hours in 25 plus mile an hour winds today and this thing performed beyond my expectations, I thought it might get ripped to shreds in the high winds but worked great, you cant go wrong with your[$] for this. see less

We needed a cartop carrier at the last minute for a large SUV. We went with this one because it was in stock and didn't need crossbars (or at least that's what the instructions said). A few problems: the straps on the side of the carrier did not reach the side rails of our large SUV when we had it packed full. It might fit fine for a crossover or a small SUV. It has gone approximately 1600 miles (one round trip) through pretty good weather and is already starting to get holes in it. We also had to put a bungee cord across the back to keep it from sliding off the vehicle. It states it isn't waterproof. That's for sure. The 15 minutes of rain we went through got items in the carrier damp. I would hate to be using this in a downpour. The only plus is that it has a lot of room assuming you can get the side straps to reach. There might be good inexpensive carriers out there, but this isn't one of them. see less

We bought this to use for our vacation from Texas to Florida, and knew that it was only weather resistant, so we put our duffle bags in durable garbage bags, for extra protection, and then put it in the car carrier. By the time we got to Florida and took our luggage out of the karpak, the lining that makes it weather resistant had fallen apart, just crumbled, so now the only thing covering was the cloth of the actual carrier, so by the time we left Florida to go back to Texas you could see through the fabric and it was tearing holes. We used soft duffle bag luggage and not suit cases. Our clothes were totally dry because of the idea to put the bags in large garbage bags for protection, but I won't beable to use this luggage Highland KarPak again. I didn't have the cross bars, so even though it was buckled and strapped, it will slide to the back top of the car. I do not recommend the KarPak car top carrier by HIghland. see less
