Waterproof Heavy Duty

Works like a charm. I strapped it in the back of my truck, took it 400 miles though rain, fog, and mist (the whole trip.....). Then it sat empty in the bed of the truck for almost a week, in rain, fog, and mist off and on. Then we reloaded with luggage for four, Christmas gifts, etc and made the 400 mile trip back. Hit more rain and fog during the last 100 miles or so. Everything stayed dry and never saw a drop of water in the bag. The size could be bigger. I have a full size truck and with a family of four and additional cargo such as gifts for xmas, the bag was FULL on our way back. Could have used a few more cubic feet for that trip. I'd like to see it sized to fill more of my bed, but I get the dimension choice they made to fit most trucks. The zipper worked fine. Be sure to get the inner "flap" pointed up and the outer "flap" of vinyl pointed down, and I don't see any way this thing could leak. I put a pretty good strain on it for the return leg of the trip mentioned above (read zipper was tight and had some tension on the teeth) and it did fine. If you've ever used those inflatable pools from the big box stores, its the same stuff, only thicker. Its pretty stout. I let it dry out and rolled it up today. The storage bag is a tad over sized, so if you don't get it rolled up just like they did at the factory, it will still fit. Material of the bag seems a bit flimsy compared to the truck bag itself. It sees like it will wear out pretty quick. But all in all, great bag, worked as advertised. Can't beat that!

We purchased this item for a trip to the mountains this summer. It allowed us to store everything in the back of the truck & kept our luggage and other travel containers dry and secure. I also purchased a separate lock and chain so that we could secure it in the back of the truck when left unattended. I read in one of the reviews that it was noisy as a result of 'flapping in the wind' while driving, but we didn't notice that at all. It did fill up with air as you're driving 65+ mph on the highway, but it wasn't high enough to obstruct the rear view. We carried 2 regular size suitcases, 1 large and 2 medium size rubbermaid containers and some other odds & ins inside it. The material feels thick and durable, but yet lightweight. We'll definatly use it for future trips.

While it is on the pricer side, you get what you pay for... reliability and peace of mind. Used this recently for a 13 hour drive over Thanksgiving holiday and it rained the entire drive. Stopped multiple times along the way and when we arrive at the final destination everything inside the bag was dry! No issues! I did use two additional ratchet straps crisscrossed across just to prevent any wind movement because the bag wasn't completely full. I followed the instructions, placed the zipper flap area toward the back and before I put the tailgate up I made sure that the flap was facing down so the rain would roll down and away and not inward toward the zipper. I've packed it away and hope to use it again next year or any additional trips or moving needs where there's rain involved. The plastic and zip is heavy duty. Bungees were easy to use as well, no issues. I didn't find any issues with the assembly, all quality.

I had a quick inner state trip to take and with an infant and toddler along for the ride along with some extra family, there's no way my road trip could happen with just my Expeditions interior storage space. I considered buying a small enclosed trailer for about $2000, adding a roof rack which meant some assembly and still having to strap things to my roof to hold everyhing, and a small clamshell enclosure simply wouldn't do. I have a small 4x8 utility trailer for odd jobs so I figured let me find a way to just drag this thing to our VRBO property and make it happen without getting our things wet. Well after some looking I found this and I'm happy it worked out. The bag itself has some rubberized coating with a zipper flap that keeps the water out. The very first night I left it placed inside the trailer and the next morning the exterior was soaked from overnight rains and morning dew, but the interior was bone dry, so it kind of confirmed the idea for me. I was able to fit a Ogio Big Rig suitcase, a smaller Ohio rolling suitcase loaded to the brim, 3 backpacks, a small 10x10 folded down canopy, random stuff like shoes and it kept everything together during our trip. I should give it a 5 star, but honestly as convenient as this thing was, it's also kind of like stuffing a 4 course meal into one tupperware, I wish the bag was bigger or at the very least they sold a larger bag. Space was limited at our rental as far as parking so climbing inside my trailer to stuff this bag like a gym bag kind of sucked, and for the price I guess it's an ok one time use purchase for me. This is more appropriately sized for a small truck bed like a ranger or Tacoma, even possibly used as a bag on top of a large safari rack if you strap it down well enough. It worked though so no complaints about performance and it was literally a one trip use item for me so I can't speak as to it's longevity or holding up to bumping around alot, but it solved my issue for my trip.
