It offers a lot of storage space – 19 cubic feet, which is more than most other rooftop cargo bags offer. It’s 47.2 inches long, 35.4 inches wide and 19.8 inches tall.
Bag feels sturdy and well made, materials used are of good quality too. It’s durable and probably will last for a long time. Consumer reports seem to confirm this – RoofPax car roof carrier has tons of positive feedback and complaints from consumers are few and far between.

RoofPax cargo bag is quite water resistant although not completely waterproof. Most of the time it does a good job of keeping inside dry, however sometimes you might find moisture inside after rain.

You can mount it on roof rack or if your vehicle doesn’t have one then you can put door hooks under weather stripping (which is safer method than tying down straps inside the car which is a system that’s illegal in some states yet you can find it in many other cargo bags designed for rackless cars). It will work with most cars however some cars have glued weather stripping or frameless door windows in which case you won’t be able to install RoofPax cargo bag without roof bars.
