We took a family vacation in our SUV with 7 passengers and did not have any room to spare for luggage. I started reading reviews all over the internet for cargo carriers. I came across this backpack carrier and was alittle hesitant. All the overhead reviews that I read, the customers were concerned over 2 main points. First was the effect they would have on their gas mileage and second water entering their carriers during rain storms. Well we drove from Texas to New York, then to Florida and back to Texas, over 4300 miles and plenty of rain in between. We were able to load ALL of our luggage in to this carrier, got great gas mileage and most of all it never got a drop of water in the carrier at all. Another great ppoint is that with the overhead carriers, it is really hard to access you stuff during a trip, with this carrier it was a snap. I was totally 100% satisfied with this product and would recommend it to anyone that travels.

Product worked great on a Toyota Sienna on trip from VA to FL. Did not use the bottom tie down straps but bought bungy cords instead as the straps were too short for the Sienna. Sienna has some holes in the undercarriage that we could attach the bungy cords too. Also put some plywood on the bottom of the carrier for some additional support. No issues during the drive. Good alternative considering price of overhead storage carriers and the resulting air drag that results.

Delivery was very speedy and exceeded my expectations.
