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

I have mounted this beside a top box as i needed extra capacity to go camping. This was by far the cheaper option rather than buying a larger capacity roof box. I think the larger option available would be a better choice still anyone who does not already have a top box to accompany this. I have managed to put in 2 camping beds - bulky a camping chair and then some odds like windbreak and side awnings to shelter. I think more would go in but that was enough. The straps did not feel very secure and it took longer to install than a standard roof box but once on it does the job you need.

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.

Strapping is not sturdy enough, first trip of 1400 miles and the stitching is broken, thank god I had cam straps over the top otherwise we’d be in trouble. Actually disappointed because this was perfect for me, I put two large waterproof containers in with my belongings and it helped hold the shape of the bag, however with the wind force it’s just not up to the top, and no matter how many times I checked the Velcro tabs were down over the zips we still had water ingress into the bag. Folding up is easy and stores in a small bag. I have sent this back, purely because I do not want the worry of it on my roof whilst driving knowing that the stitching failed after such a short space of time.Great idea great design……needs work.

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.

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.

Just what was needed for our camping trip, fitted no problem just takes a little time but is on sturdy.Love that fact it tidies away really small so can easily be taken off and stored while camping.Easily got it on standard Ford Focus roof bars with 2 bike racks, which just wasn’t possible with a hard roof box.

Ich habe diese Gepäcktasche im Urlaub auf meinem Fahrradträger für die AHK montiert. Sie war bei 250 km im Dauerregen komplett dicht. Es hatten eine Menge Gepäckstücke Platz.

Pratique et solide, bonne contenance.facile à mettre en oeuvre et à stocker.Seul bémol, les sangles inférieures sont un peu difficiles à mettre en place avec le sac chargé.Côté pratique, on peut facilement charger le sac au sol puis le hisser sur la galerie.Très content de cet achat. Il est même possible de fixer deux sacs sur une seule galerie ou trois paires de skis et le sac comme pour moi.

Il materiale sembra di ottima fattura!! Una volta montato esteticamente non è proprio bello, rimane molle ameno che non lo si riempie fino all'orlo!! I ganci per fissarlo sono scomodi e duri per il tiraggio, le barre sotto così ad occhio mi sembrano poco resistenti!

Ende dieses Sommers haben wir mit unserer 4 köpfigen Familie einen Campingurlaub geplant und auch gemacht. Beim ersten Test-Packen habe ich gemerkt, dass die schon vorhandene Dachbox und Kofferraum für Taschen und all dem sonstigen Kram nicht ausreichend war.Daher habe ich nach einer zusätzlichen "schmalen" Dachbox gesucht, die ich neben der schon vorhanden anbringen kann.Da bin ich auf die Softbox gestoßen, welche "Theoretisch" genau neben die vorhandene Dachbox passen sollte.Alles in allem bin ich sehr zu frieden mit der Softbox.1. Passte genau neben die vorhandene Dachbox2. genug Stauraum für Schlafsäcke, Campingstühle, Luftmatratzen, etc. (Siehe Bild)3. Das Spannsystem ist recht simpel aufgebaut. Musste nichts nachziehen auf der ganzen Fahrt.4. Absolut Wasserdicht! Auf der Rückfahrt war ab Österreich nur noch Regen und das Auto stand dann auch noch weitere 3 Tage im Dauerregen incl. Solftbox. Alles trocken!Habe den Kauf nicht bereut.Über die Haltbarkeit kann ich nichts sagen, jedoch gehe ich davon aus, dass wenn die Box 2-3 mal im Jahr auf und abgebaut wird, diese sicher ein paar Jahre halten wird.

Acheté pour aller au ski (800km aller), le sac est assez pratique car il est étroit et il peut être fixé à côté du porte ski. Cependant, même s'il semble assez solide au premier abord, à mon retour j'ai constaté qu'il était troué en dessous dès la première utilisation (à l'extrémité des tiges rigides fournies avec le sac et servant d'armature). Impossible de contacter le service client (pas d'adresse).Donc pratique mais ne sert qu'une fois.
