Roof Cargo Bag Recommendation For 2017 Subaru Outback With Roof Rack

Question

Question:

Will you recommend a roof cargo bag for a 2017 Subaru Outback with a roof rack? I do not have a basket. If that is needed, do you have any recommendations? Thanks!

A roof basket is not necessary for your 2017 Subaru Outback, and we can get you a cargo bag that secures directly to the crossbars of your Outback. For that, I recommend an option from Thule:

- Thule Outbound Rooftop Cargo Bag # TH868

I really like the Outbound # TH868 because it's super easy to use, gives you a lot of room (13 cubic feet) to carry cargo, and Thule is well known for their quality, so you're going to get a bag that lasts. In fact, it has a lifetime warranty, while similar bags such as the Rightline Range # RL100R20 have a 1-year warranty.
