For the most part this is a good cargo bag. Easy to install and remove. Only issue is zipper has broken

It sounds like the bag has gotten some use. it does have a limited lifetime warranty which would include the zipper. I can send you the warranty detail if you want them.



by:

I've used this once and it met my expectations. We will use this rooftop bag once or twice per year. I have not used it in rainy weather so I cannot say anything about the water resistance. It seems like a quality item. The seams, zippers and fabrics are sturdy. It is a bag that straps on to your cars roof rack. It does free up space inside the car. Thule nailed it.



by:

Product is as advertised. At 13 cubic ft it is not big. It is easy to attach and rode securely for 1300 miles. It is not waterproof, but it does not claim to me. Stow in a small package when not in use.



by:

I just used this bag again for a camping trip and a year later this bag has held up so well and extremely useful especially as our family has grown and having less room in our car. Super easy to take on and off does not make any sounds while driving and you just don't have to worry about it and then go. Love how you can adjust it to the amount of contents you have in there. You will be able to fit a good amounnt of stuff but cannot load it with numerous large suite cases or anything.



by:

It fits perfectly between the cross bars of our toyota highlander. We did use a couple of bungee cords to help secure it, and it held up well from Texas to South Carolina and then back to Texas. In rain it did collect some water, but we expected that and had only put beach chairs and a foldable wagon in the cargo carrier that could get wet.



by:

We love our rooftop cargo bag. It fits perfectly on my daughters Honda CR-V and she’s used it many times to transport her things back and forth to college.

good quality carrier bag

The product is great I will recommend

You guys are GREAT



by:

Fits roof rack perfectly, appears to be very high quality and is surprisingly very light weight.



by:

Love the cargo bag. Love the fast shipping provided by etrailer. What else can be said.



by:

Well worth the money. Goes up in a snap and stores quite a bit without the annoying flapping in the wind of some other products. I recommend it!



by:

The product arrived promptly and looks to be just what I need. I haven't used it yet but will when we go on vacation. I will definitely buy from etrailer again.



by:

Superb quality, rugged materials!



by:

Strong. Easy to use.

Great service and rapid delivery. Product is as described and great quality. Would definitely recommend this retailer.

I really like this bag. Fits basket! And you can stuff a lot into it. Not hard to take on and off. We did not have any issues with rain either!



by:

The waterproof outer shell quickly (after a couple months) developed small holes/cracks that slowly seep water in the rain. The bag therefore lost its water resistant feature. Otherwise the bag is easy to install, lightweight (compared to hard shell alternatives), and I found it reasonably easy to access, open, and close. Before the small holes, the bag was water resistant. I took it on a trip in the rain and there were no leaks.



by:

I bought this just over a year ago. I travel full time pulling a travel trailer and have had the Thule Interstate cargo bag on the roof sitting in a Thule Canyon XT cargo basket. The reason I purchased this bag over others is that it doesn’t use soft PVC in its construction. Soft PVC has a demonstrably harmful impact on all living organisms and the planet, from its production to the final product. It’s toxic through and through. The Thule bag uses a TPE lining, which is much safer on every level. I commend Thule for using it. Unfortunately, after less than a year of use, this bag proved incapable of protecting its contents from rain. Everything inside gets soaked after a rainfall. The items I’d stowed in it, e.g. camp furniture, solar panel, are now secured in the cargo basket and exposed, because at least then they can dry out afterwards. I wish I could, but because of its inability to keep it’s contents dry, I can’t recommend this cargo bag.



by:

I bought this for a trip going from southern CA to Eugene OR. We used this with our Honda Odyssey with factory side rails only. We used it for our luggage because we placed bicycles inside the cargo space in our van. I would say we used about 75-80% of the cargo capacity of the bag. Didn’t notice too much wind noise. The fuel economy seemed to drop 1 maybe 2 mpg. We averaged 70-75 mph. I think when you have headwind is where you’ll notice a drop, otherwise I didn’t see much change cruising around 65-70.
We also encountered heavy rain on the freeway once we were in Oregon. When we arrived at our destination, the contents in our luggage was dry, however the floor of the bag was moist.
I also have used this for our 4Runner when we go camping to store extra items such as a plastic tote bin, tents, and other small bags.

The straps work really well to secure the bag.
It is easy to set up and remove from the vehicle when not in use.
It’s easy to clean.

Only concern would be if you stopped over night at a hotel, there is no security to keep anyone from opening the bag. I suppose you could add a luggage lock to the zipper, but just something to consider…

So far this has worked really well and highly recommend this product.

  • Can the Thule Outbound # TH868 Sit Inside a 39 Crossbar Spread on a 2006 Subaru Forester
    The Thule Outbound can definitely fit inside the 39" crossbar spread on your 2006 Subaru Forester. This would be the better way to secure this bag instead of trying to set the edges on top of your rails.

  • Roof Mount Cargo Bag for a 2008 Toyota RAV4 with Factory Roof Rack
    Roof mount cargo bags are designed to mount a specific direction and would create more drag and be possibly unstable if turned sideways. But not to worry because I think I have the perfect bag for you. The SportRack Vista bag, # SR8106 does measure 35 inches, but since it is soft that extra inch of the bag can be tucked in without worry. The same goes for the 36 inch long Thule Outbound # TH868. It is 36 inches long but you could easily get it in between bars that are 34 inches apart. You...

    Thanks for your continued support Michael! I drive out to Kansas a few times a year myself and I definitely know the drive you're talking about. Your Thule Quest TH846 was actually replaced by the Thule Outbound Rooftop Cargo Bag # TH868 and they install the same way. They have the front and rear straps for crossbars, but Thule also points out that the side anchoring rings can be used if the only anchoring option for your vehicle is the side rails (see attached clip of instructions).

    Your Thule Outbound Roof Top Bag # TH868 (thank you for your purchase) can attach to side-rails, crossbars, or a roof-mounted cargo basket in order to install properly. It looks like your questions says that you can attache to cross-bars. Do you have cross bars that go sid-to-side on you vehicle? If so, you are good to go.

  • Roof Cargo Bag To Fit Factory Roof Rack On 2019 Infiniti QX60
    I do have an option for you but the Thule Interstate Rooftop Cargo Bag part # TH869 tie downs will most likely not reach the cross bar with that much overhang like you mention. I looked up your vehicle's factory roof rack and it doesn't look like it has raised rails either so it would be difficult to tie a bag that size down with a cross bar spread of 30".

  • Roof Rack Cross Bar Recommendation for a 2005 Pontiac Montana SV6 with Factory Raised Rails
    Yes, the Thule Evo raised rail feet, # TH710401, work well on your 2005 Pontiac Montana SV6, with factory raised rails that run front to back. Along with the raised rail foot pack you will need a set of 47 inch SquareBars, # TH712200. Since you will be taking long trips and need space for cargo, I would recommend going with a roof box rather than a bag. A roof box will protect your gear better and will not sit on the roof, possibly causing damage to the vehicle finish. For a cargo bag...

    The Thule Outbound Roof Mounted Cargo Bag, part # TH868, will fit on your Chrysler Pacifica as long as it has load bars going across the top of the vehicle. It looks like the 2006 Pacifica came with factory load bars that run side to side on the vehicle roof so you would not need to add any.

You would just need to attach the straps to the front and rear crossbars and the bag would be secure and ready to go.

    For a vehicle with a sunroof like your 2007 Toyota Highlander we do not recommend the use of cargo bags resting on top of the glass.

This has been confirmed to fit your crossbars and would be a great solution for carrying cargo. If instead you do not have a roof rack I attached a link to a page that has all of the roof rack options for your vehicle. You would need...

  • Most Water-Resistant Roof Mount Cargo Bag for a 2012 Chevy Suburban
    In order for something to be considered water proof it has to be able to be submerged under water for a certain period of time and not let in water inside. There are no cargo bags or boxes that are completely water proof. There are bags that are better than others though. The Thule Outbound cargo bag, # TH868, is going to be the best option. It is IP-X3 certified for water sprays up to 60 degree angles. It has large flaps that cover the openings making it extraordinarily difficult for...

  • Are Cross Bars Required To Use Thule Outbound Rooftop Bag On My 2000 Honda Odyssey
    The Thule Rooftop Bag, # TH868, could be used without crossbars but due to the size and carrying capacity of the rooftop bag cross bars are strongly recommended. When the bag is secured to the roof rack of your vehicle it will be subject to the stress of acceleration and braking while you are driving and the cross bars will help hold the bag in position. You can attach it to the side rails as long as they are raised enough to be able to wrap something around it. If you choose this method,...

  • Is the Thule Outbound Roof Cargo Bag Waterproof
    I would recommend the Thule Outbound since it has a no-PVC liner which is great for the environment and gives extra protection against moisture.

Thule suggests packing your cargo in plastic bags inside of the bags when its raining. Waterproof would mean that if the bag were submerged, water would not come in.
