What Roof Basket/Roof Bag Do You Recommend for a 2015 Kia Soul?

Question:

I have a 2015 Kia Soul with factory installed front to back roof racks. Looking for your recommendations for a roof basket to carry camping equipment, ect, not to exceed 150 lbs. Will use a roof bag to carry things so if you can match a roof bag you think will work well with your roof basket.

For your 2015 Kia Soul, I recommend the SportRack Vista Roof Mounted Cargo Basket # SR9035. The Vista fits factory crossbars with a maximum width of 3-1/2 inches. With a weight of 110 pounds, the Vista will allow you to carry extra camping equipment and other accessories that you don't want to transport inside your vehicle. In addition, the vista also includes a fairing in the front to minimize wind resistance for the basket/cargo.

As far as a roof bag for the Vista, I recommend the CargoSmart Soft-Sided Car Top Carrier - Water Resistant - 15 cu ft # CS94FR. The CargSmart Carrier has water resistant vinyl material and comes with fastening hardware (4 straps with sliding buckles to secure bag to the Vista).
