Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)We bought the Thule Tahoe Rooftop Cargo Bag for a roadtrip from Texas to Florida.
1. The bag was easy to use, and the instructions were good.It attached right onto our roof rack with no probolem.I had read other reviews and knew to have safety pins (8 to be exact) to secure the excess strapping to the bag, or it will make noise while you're driving.
2. It rained on us part of the way down, but our luggage was inside plastic bags.The plastic bags did get wet, but our luggage was fine.I would say that the bag is weather resistant as claimed becasue there wasn't much water in the bag after the storm.
3. The bag produced drag, and it affected our gas mileage and gas was over $4.00 / gallon at the time.
4. Removing and putting on the bag at each of our stops wasn't a big deal.We only had 2 suit cases, and a toiletry bag in there - so it was a snap to get them out/in, and then the bag off/on.
The bottom line is that if you need extra space in your vehicle, don't have or want to spend the money on a hard top cargo carrier, and probably if you're not driving 1600 miles roun-trip (my opinion that this better for shorter trips) - then this bag is right for you.

About Thule To say that Thule's beginnings in the U.S. were humble would be an understatement. Founding member Ake Skeppner sold products at windsurf competitions on the New England shoreline, exhibited the product line at a number of different trade shows, and even canvassed local retailers in the greater New York area, all from his "office"--a now-famous station wagon. Initial success was found in the small but growing sport of windsurfing where a strong, reliable roof rack was an indispensable piece of equipment. This was quickly followed by success in the ski business where Thule's Swedish heritage certainly helped the product gain rapid acceptance.
By the mid-1980s, the company sold products directly to ski and windsurfing shops but sold through distributors to address the large and growing bike business. A risky decision was made to terminate these distributor relationships and sell direct to retailers through a network of independent sales representatives. Much of the company's market success today can be traced to that decision. Shortly after, Ake hired an engineer and set up a small assembly plant in Elmsford, New York in order to design and manufacture bike carriers that would offer the features demanded by the U.S. consumer and compete effectively with other racks on the market.
The company has since grown rapidly through product innovation, a commitment to quality, and the continuance of a strong entrepreneurial spirit as well as continuing to evolve their products to meet the needs of users.
