HandiWorld HandiHoldall Large 330 Litres Soft Roof Box; Foldable Weather Resistant Roof Bag with Solid Base; Navy Blue

I work as a location photographer based in Wales and was offered a last minute assignment in northern Scotland. We combined it with a holiday break so the car was loaded with camera gear, family and a dog! The only solution for our baggage was a roof box or holdall. Roof box was expensive so I took a risk and opted for this holdall. When it arrived it was no bigger than than an old army kit bag. There's a holdall, with four metal rod strengtheners and a carrying bag. I also bought two aluminium roof bars off Amazon. We did loads to test loadings of the holdall in our front room to make sure we got the best luggage configuration. The morning we left it only took about 15 minutes to load up. Nothing to do with the holdall but you need to be fairly dextrous and not afraid to stand on your car seats/sills to get the bag onto the roof and strapped down, but it's not difficult. In the end I used a little three step decorating ladder which made everything a doddle. The critical thing is to make sure that the metal rods over-run the roof bars at the front and back, so the holdall won't slump down onto your precious car roof in transit. I'd also recommend you pack your bags/cases at right angles to the steel supports to ensure maximum weight spread/support. As you can see from the pics I had two large suitcases, two stuffed holdalls and a bag of bedding. Normally this would fill the boot in the Kia Sportage. Everything fitted on the roof easily, and the holdall zipped closed without any issues. There's a neat tough canvas overlap above the zipper that ensures everything is watertight. Make sure you turn it down over the zip. In my case there was enough strap on each of the four main holding straps to be able to wrap it round the roof bar twice. If you can I'd recommend this as it really locks the holdall in place. The other tightening straps were also very useful as pulling these tight really compressed the load and ensured that everything was tight, secure and as aerodynamic as poss. Ensure you tuck any remaining strap length into the mechanisms to prevent wind noise. I've never used a roof holdall before so I took it easy at first but I needn't have worried. By the end of the week's assignment I'd been racing over all sorts of roads and tracks, often at fairly high speeds, and the holdall was solid as a rock. On the motorways there was no wind noise at all, and it didn't really affect the stability of functioning of the car. Coming home it rained like hell all the way back to Wales but when I offloaded there wasn't a drop of water inside the holdall. It packed away really easily in its holdall and takes up very little space in my wardrobe. It's constructed from very robust canvas and the heavy stitching is moulded in. The steel bars are also very strong, as are the straps and buckles. I'd really recommend this product. No negatives at all and the price is really excellent value for money.

Amazing product. Carried our family luggage around Wales on hols with no issues. Easy to use with handirack. Great find for us as our B10 has no rigid roof rack solution yet

Used foe a trip to Cornwall, we have 4 children, our 7 seat car isn't big enough for a tent and luggage. This is like a tardis and fits lots in. The only issue was getting our roof bars through the straps! It was utter hell they were so tight it took ages!! So prepare yourself for that! We did use some extra straps to secure the bag to the roof bars once it was full as I didn't feel it look secure.

This bag is exceptional. It is well made, strong fabric with substantial clips and a very strong zip. We needed it to get my wife’s cross country walker in but it also took all the bedding towels and jumpers with space to spare. The bag comes with floor supports which seem really robust as I was initially concerned about protecting the glass roof It absolutely bucketed down with rain all the way to Holland but everything stayed dry so really cannot fault it. The instructions were a little light on detail but you DO NOT need extra straps as the 4 corner ones wrap around the roof bars to hold it all stable. For total piece of mind I did run some additional straps (light blue in the picture) but it wasn’t really necessary. Cracking value for money though not as aero dynamic as a roof box so did hit the fuel economy and was a little noisy - though nothing unexpected. I may look to make something curved out of cardboard to sit inside the front next time to round it off a bit. I would suggest loading it on the ground as much as possible and then 2 people lifting on and off if you can but I did put it on first and loaded it myself going out.

We needed something to prevent us going away in 2 cars but didn't want a roof box permanently stuck on the car. This was a brilliant solution. The rods which strengthen the base are carbon fibre, a but like modern tent poles. This gives structure to the bag and stopped it dipping between our roof bars. The capacity amazed us, I thought it might be too small but we didn't manage to fill it. We both thought that actually the capacity was great than a rigid roof box. The zips are sturdy and the ability to fully unzip the top of the bag made it very easy to fill while on the roof. The straps fitted easily around the roof bars and where easy to tighten and it felt very secure and didn't move at all during a 100mile journey which was mostly motorway driving. We didn't encounter rain so didn't test the waterproofing. At the end of the journey it was simple to detach and unpack. We thought it was excellent value for money and one of the best purchases we have made.

We’ve had this roof bag for about a month now and have used it for about 1500 miles to Norfolk, Normandie and Cornwall on both a 2012 Vauxhall Meriva (pictured) and 2007 Ford Focus. - The fact it attaches to the bars using the straps is extremely quick and easy. Much more so than our previous roof box. - It packed well and quite flexibly. Our cargo was; 1 large tent, 1 camping table, 2 body boards, 1 clothes horse, 2 sleeping bags, 1 double duvet, 2 roll mats, 2 camping chairs, and 2 luggage bags (carry-on size) and some other camping gear. - It stayed waterproof despite it being pelted with rain for over a 3 hour sitting. Couldn’t have gone better as a purchase. The only downside is having to load and unload it in the rain (which seems to be every time I need to do it!), but hardly the bags problem!

The bag is huge, and very unwieldy, though it does as a result hold a lot of gear. It leaked in heavy rain, which I guess is inevitable, given that some of the stitch holes are open and exposed, to the extent you can see light through them. Quirkily, the velcro section of the "storm flap" is only about 25cm long and not over the zip! The biggest problem with the bag, as opposed to a roof box, is that it cannot be loaded in the rain, wind or in a hurry - it cannot be fastened to the roof until it is loaded, and while being loaded, a very big bit of fabric is flapping around. It is a challenge on my little Yeti - what it would be like on a bigger 4x4 can only be imagined. Plus points: it is made of superb fabric, and the straps are very well attached. The FRP bars which form a false flooor are well made, cleverly attached, and rigid. Mine did not come with the long straps which are intended for use with handistraps, and although I used it with roof bars, the straps would have been useful for extra security (the main attachment for the bag to the roof bars relies on nylon clips, which in other contexts I have seen fail catastrophically). I just used a couple of ratchet straps off my beehives. So, all in all, a piece of kit reasonably well made from great components. It folds beautifully into its holdall, where, I am sure, it will stay until I chuck it away!

Great option for camping, all the light bulky items can easily be head with this bag which is easy to attach and detach. When not in use the bag is no larger that a medium backpack which is great if you have limited storage space

Det är bra och jag körde under regnet och alla grejer var torka.

Innanzitutto faccio i complimenti ad AMAZON che come al solito consegna in maniera impeccabile. Dopodiché passo al prodotto. L'ho acquistato insieme a HANDIRACK, poiché il mio SUV oltre ad avere il tetto in vetro, non ha le traverse sulle quali montare le barre portapacchi, quindi ho cercato sul sito una soluzione x ovviare al problema. La combinazione tra questi 2 prodotti è fenomenale. Per prima cosa bisogna montare HANDIRACK sul tetto dell'auto ad una distanza tra loro, tale da poter poggiare su, questa fantastica borsa. Le barre sono gonfiabili e la pompa è già inserita nel kit. Le barre si poggiano sul tettuccio, si fanno passare all'interno dell'auto e si tirano finché diventa impossibile che si spostino. Dopodiché le ho ginfiate non al max, così da avere un minimo di effetto ammortizzante, una volta messa su la borsa. Occhio a non spingere troppo all'interno della valvola il beccuccio della pompa, altrimenti non riesce a gonfiare le barre, se avete dubbi su quanta aria mandare nei "salsicciotti" non preoccupatevi, perché ad un certo punto quando la pressione sarà ottimale, il beccuccio verrà espulso e quindi potrete chiudere la valvola. Le cinghie di tenuta delle barre gonfiabili non danno alcun fastidio alla chiusura delle portiere. Il montaggio è abbastanza semplice, la prima volta però si perdono una decina di minuti. Poi si passa alla borsa. Nel pacco oltre la borsa stessa troverete altre 2 cinghie molto lunghe ed un'altra più corta, che sinceramente io non ho usato. Troverete anche delle stecche in fibra di vetro, da sistemare sul fondo della borsa che la renderà rigida in basso così da poterla poggiare senza problemi sulle barre gonfiabili. Prima di riempire la borsa bisogna far passare le 2 cinghie lunghe nei passanti sotto di essa e tra gli anelli in ferro delle barre. A questo punto potrete riempire la borsa, chiudere la cerniera che scorre sui 3 lati, agganciare le cinghie di contenimento della borsa, in modo da sagomarla x bene una volta riempita e poi si faranno passare le cinghie lunghe sulla borsa e stringerle x bene. A quel punto in carico sarà un tutt'uno con l'auto, molto saldo. Io ho aggiunto anche 2 ragni elastici così x una sicurezza in più, li avevo già di mio, se non li avessi avuti non sarebbero serviti. I ganci, le cinghie, la cerniera ed il borsone stesso, sono fatti con materiali robusti e di altissima qualità. All'interno della borsa io ci ho messo 2 valigie rigide 60x40x30 più 2 borse morbide 40x30x20. Un viaggio di 300km e quando sono arrivato tutto era lì come lo avevo montato. SPETTACOLARE credetemi. All'inizio avevo dei dubbi ma visto il risultato comsiglio l'acquisto x chi avesse esigenze tipo le mie. X fissare la borsa c'è voluto più tempo, diciamo 20 minuti. La foto penso sia abbastanza esaustiva.

Le top du top ! J’ai une 208 féline toit panoramique je ne savais pas du tout comment faire pour les vacances mon mari a cherché partout à chaque fois “c est interdit aux toit panoramique... “ et puis il a trouvé cet “accessoire” et franchement on a adoré ! Mon mari en est plus que ravi et ça a fait sensation les gens vous demandaient par curiosité et ils ont tous adorés ! Franchement je recommande les yeux fermés c est GÉNIAL avec les coussins gonflables c est géant ! Nous avons juste rajoutés pour quelques euros en plus les bandes anti dérapentes et le ni le toit ni la carrosserie n a eu de rayures le top

Wer viel Stauraum für wenig Geld sucht und es obendrein nicht nass werden darf, ist hier genau richtig! Habe nicht viel erwartet, wurde aber nicht enttäuscht. Die Montage ist etwas fummelig und die Tasche sollte voll sein, damit sie leicht zu händeln ist. Wir haben sie nur annähernd halb voll genutzt und daher habe ich zwei Spanngurte benutzt, um die Tasche zusätzlich auf den Dachträgern zu fixieren. Ich fühlte mich damit einfach sicherer. Ansonsten hat sie bei Autofahrt mit 120 und Starkregen nur zwei kleine Tröpfchen reingelassen. Und das auch nur, weil ich sie im 90 Grad gedreht quer zur Fahrtrichtung auf meinem Camper montiert habe. Würde ich wieder kaufen.

Estupenda, resistente y con mucha capacidad, la he cargado con una bolsa de 100 L otra de 50 L y una maleta mediana rígida, y aún sobraba mucho espacio, las correas ajustan muy bien y ha ido todo muy sujeto, sin moverse de la vaca, le he añadido dos cinchas estrechas lo largo de la bolsa por seguridad, lluvia ligera por el camino y todo seco.Se monta con mucha facilidad y la guardas en cualquier sitio ocupa como un saco de dormir más o menos. Las varillas para hacer la base rígida la hacen perfecta para montar en la vaca del coche.
