Note: You may need a light kit for your cargo carrier if the cargo bag blocks your vehicle's tail lights.
This water-resistant cargo bag lets you transport up to 9 cu ft of gear on your hitch-mounted cargo carrier. It's made of PVC-coated nylon to keep your gear clean and dry. It allows you to carry luggage, sports equipment, sleeping bags, and anything else that will fit inside. The soft bottom of the bag conforms to your cargo carrier for a secure fit. You can also use this bag in your truck bed, in your trunk or rear cargo area, or on your roof-mounted cargo carrier.
This cargo bag is constructed of heavy-duty, PVC-coated nylon, so it's hard to cut or tear. If it does acquire a hole or tear, the ripstop material is designed to prevent the hole or tear from expanding. The bag is also water resistant so your cargo stays dry in rain and snow. And for added weather protection, the seams are fused together to create a watertight seal.
A large, double-zippered opening on top of the bag makes it easy to load and unload your cargo. The zippers wrap around 3 sides so you can fully open the top. There is a flap with hook-and-loop fasteners that provides extra moisture protection for your cargo and helps protect the zipper from rust and corrosion. You can add a small padlock (131D - sold separately) to the zippers to secure the bag shut.
Six nylon tie-down straps secure the bag to your hitch-mounted carrier or roof basket. Each strap attaches to one of the 6 integrated, reinforced buckle attachments on the bag. Simply feed the short end of the strap into the buckle attachment on the bag and loop the long end around the rail of your carrier. Pull it tight and tie the excess out of the way.
You can fold this bag up for compact storage when it isn't being used.

This water-resistant cargo bag holds up to 9 cu ft of gear. PVC-coated nylon material with covered zipper and welded seams keeps your gear clean and dry. Six tie-down straps let you secure bag in place. Fold flat for compact storage.Great value but not perfect. My rating reflects the fact that I beat up this bag pretty thoroughly last year. It was on the road with me for over three months of camping out of my car, from mountains to deserts to beaches. I like that it's lightweight and even partially full of gear I could lift it out of my cargo rack and stick it on a bench or the ground for extended campground stays. It kept my stuff dry and clean.
The shortcomings are pretty obvious. There's no way to secure your stuff. You can put a little luggage lock on the double zipper pulls, but a box cutter will open the top in a couple seconds. The tie down stops are fine but require lots of time to reattach if you take the bag off the rack. The little velcro loops that are supposed to secure the extra length of strap are worthless and tend to fall off and disappear when the straps aren't in use. The material is prone to pinholes and other damage. Just hold it up to strong light after a trip and you'll see what I mean. A little alcohol to clean the area and some duct tape or repair patches are fine to prevent the damage from getting worse. (Shrug) I'm not sure what color would be better than black... Maybe a high visibility yellow would help prevent possible rear ending? Black sure doesn't help keep the contents cool in 100 deg desert heat. And as you can see from my photo, looks like crap after a week on the road.
Would I buy it again? As an affordable soft bag to carry loose stuff in my cargo rack, ABSOLUTELY. Can I get it in yellow next time please?
Great quality
It's always a good experience buying something from etrailer! The range and details of the products and level of information on the web site, from descriptions to videos, makes selecting the right item easy. The items I've bought have always been as expected and delivery has always been as advised. Overall they just get it right!
Very nice bag. Good construction and heavy zippers. Also excellent value. I gave it four stars because the nylon tie down straps it comes with are a bit of a compromise. I have many bags, packs and totes. The good ones all use webbing or straps that are thick and densely woven. These are thin and have a loose weave.
I would happily spend an extra ten bucks for that upgrade.
Seems well made and heavy duty. Fits perfectly in my tray hauler. Holds a reasonable amount of stuff.
For the price the quality of this item is unmatched, also did a fantastic job at providing me with a replacement item when the item I initially ordered was out of stock!! Unbelievable customer service that has left me with a fully functioning piece of equipment in a very timely fashion!! Would order from this company time and time again and I suggest you do as well!!
Just recieved. First impression is that it's rugged and well made. All features stated are correct and no bull it will last. A great value for price paid.
works well
The produce was inspected and no defects were found. I will try it when I travel. Thanks, Troy
Was dissappointed that it had no internal structure.
Holds my luggage
