Great for storing my Thule
930657
I bought these racks to suspend my Thule car carrier under my deck.  The product is well constructed, and installed in minutes.  I do agree that you need to be careful with the screws.  Make sure you drill a deep hole into the wood especially if it is pressure treated.  Set the clutch on your drill to stop before snapping the bolt.  My only other concern is if this will stay rust free through the winter.  We'll have to wait and see...

We downsized from a suburban to a minivan, which forced me to invest in a rooftop carrier.  I researched the fire out of Thule and Yakima, and ended up buying the Thule force. Purchased the carrier from REI. The salesman said that they sell 3 thule to 1 yakima, and if it was his coin he would buy thule.  I bought the thule force XXL from REI

In the past year, we have been to key largo, orlando, nc mountains, and multiple 350 mile trips to grandma's house. in the 15k miles we put on the van probably 7500 were with the roof top carrier.  Here are my thoughts...

1- buy the biggest one you can- I was nervous about this but am glad I went big. REI had to special order the XXL thule. However, it fits on my van, the back gate fully opens and with 3 kids, and a dog, the space is really handy.
2- This thing takes 5 minutes to set up and 5 to take off. super easy
3- Its tough as hell- My interstate trips I'm running 80mph- to 85mph with speeds up to 90mph. this thing can take the abuse... (knock on wood). Im very impressed with the quality of the Thule.
4- gas milage suffers by about 1 mpg. I got 20.1mpg running 80 mph on my last 350 mile trip.
5- The claw attachments are first class.  Easy to use, adjustable, and borderline idiot proof.
6- It takes 2 people to put it on and take it off.

All in all, Im very happy with my Thule Force XXL.  It doubles our storage capacity, and does so with little pain.  I highly recommend it.

I have used products from Thule more than several times and have been completely satisfied with all of those.  And this item, the Thule chasm bag was no exception.

This duffel bag was the most versatile bag I have ever had. I could have several different configurations based on my usage such as making a backpack or a shoulder bag.  The straps of the bags could be positioned in different ways and the strap was looking very strong.  The finish was a top-notch and the material used for the bag was tough and waterproof.  The large top opening of the bag made me easy to pack lot of stuff at once, and the bag was not stiff.  And the capacity of 40L was perfect for me.  So the bag instantly became my first choice of a business trip.

I hope this bag lasts long like other Thule products I have had. Perfect bag for me.

This review for the Thule Tahoe carrier.  Sells for about $180 on Amazon, and $200-$230 from local dealers around town.
This product is excellent for packing items on the roof of a large vehicle - like an SUV or a van.
HOWEVER it is not guaranteed to be completely waterproof or stormproof.  If you need your items to be totally dry, even when driving through heavy rain, then you've got two options: (1) Buy the Thule Tahoe carrier and then double-wrap all your gear in plastic trash bags before putting them in the carrier (i.e. same method as for canoeing), or (2) Buy a rooftop carrier made from hard durable plastic - but you'll pay somewhere between $500-$1,000 for a good carrier made from hard polymer.

You do need a roofrack on your vehicle to use this item properly.

OK ... my review:

Well - I give the folks at Thule (in Sweden) an A+ for the design of this cargo carrier!!!

This cargo carrier is built really tough, the design is smart, it's easy to attach to your vehicle, and it's great for getting bulky stuff OUT of your vehicle (so everybody can spread out). I bought one of these flexible cargo carriers when the family grabbed too much gear for a camping trip. Let's face it - clothes, sleeping bags, tents, pillows etc. are all bulky items - pretty soon your entire vehicle is overflowing with stuff. But this cargo bag from Thule is built with super-strong zips and tiedowns. It's ready-to-use when you take it out of the box. DON'T bother buying the smaller size carrier ... this larger version fits on any medium or large SUV. First, adjust your roofrack so the spacer bars (front and back) are well apart. Then zip open the carrier, pack it full of stuff, mount it on top of your vehicle, secure all the straps, and you're ready to GO! By the way, generally I only pack soft gear in the bag - so nothing sharp will puncture the cargo carrier.

One special feature that's particularly helpful ... are the 2 tightening straps on each side of the carrier. They make it very easy to cinch down all the gear and get the final rooftop package into a solid compressed shape. I did NOT have any problems stabilizing this bag while driving - and we were cruising at 70-80 mph. I DO find that using one extra piece of long cord (or rope) is handy - just so you can tie down the bag using the side attach points (apparently not everybody is taking advantage of them).

This is just a great piece of gear - probably one of the best additions for my camping items that I've purchased in a long time.

Love these bars. Super strong and fit all my Thule attachments. Wanted Thule again but they didn't make feet for my highlander that attached to the fixed point on the roof. These guys do and Im glad I found them. Just a tip: they do sing like a soprano unless you fill every slot top and bottom of the bar. Use those plastic rulers you were given to position the bar and fill those holes. Now they are quiet and I don't even notice them up there. Also love the feature of easy on and off so I don't have to keep them on 100% of the time.

I have the 30L Icemule, but wanted to use a backpack on my motorcycle, to put all of my foodstuffs in and on, so I needed a smaller Icemule. I purchased the 15L model with the idea of putting it inside a 30L pack with my dry goods and cooking gear to make it easier to hoist the whole cooking pack into a tree, and keep food smells off of the rest of my gear. The 30L pack mounts to the backside of sissy bar.

When I put this 15L bag into my 30L pack, it filled it up! I mean all the way up. When I roll down the top, I have about 1.5" to the top of the pack. I have now ordered the 10L version to get a bit more room in the pack. These are pretty good soft coolers, and pretty versatile.

My husband and I are really happy with this Thule Bike Rack.  We have a bike rack mounted on the hitch of my SUV, but nothing for his car.  Even though we are a family of five, we often take only our three kids' bikes so they can ride while we run or walk our dog.  It's nice to be able to take the car not and not always have to use my rather old and beat up SUV.

The bike rack arrived in great shape -- larger boxes seem to have a higher risk of arriving damaged.  The rack is solid and heavy, but manageable by one person once you get the hang of putting it on the car and taking it off.  The first time we used it, my husband and I put it in the car together.  He later removed it himself, and on our second outing he put the rack on the car himself.  Our daughter rides an adult sized bike, while the boys still have smaller bikes.  This rack comfortably holds them all and so far seems to be gentle on the car.

Purchased the rack last week, waited for the accessories to arrive before assembling the entire unit and installing it on my 2016 Canyon. It fit the Thule Cross Rails prefectly and looks great atop my truck. My wife and I are planning some long trips and the rack WILL definitely encrease the cargo capacity of my truck. Mounting the "Light Kit" was a bit of a struggle due to what I beleive is that the bolts a tad too short . That is about the only knock I can give it. Am not going to lower due to the bolts. Well done Yakima !
Have had the rack atop my truck for quite some time now, it's been out in all types of weather, heat, cold, snow, sun and severe weather. Has yet to show signs of wear or the hardware loosen. Had it loaded a few times with gear and got the job done ! It's also the home of my 30" LED Light Bar and two Jerry Cans for extra gas.

Nice product. Very similar to Thule -  but I like them both. Well made, good value for the money.

I"m so glad I got this!  The 25" snowshoes fit perfectly, placed with the undersides facing (so the teeth don't rip the bag), and facing in opposite directions so they fit.  There is a pocket on the inside at each end that nicely accommodates the "tails" if you have them.  Between the red zippers on the outer bag is mesh, which allows ample aeration for your snowshoes to dry out and not get musty.  There is also a long, narrow pocket accessed by the zipper that's in the middle of the bag.  At each end of the long side opposite the handle, there are two strong covered elastic cords with toggles to adjust how tight you'd like them.  I put my hiking poles (actually two sets of hiking poles) there, and stuffed a bag full of the hiking pole tools and accessories between my snowshoes in the bag.  As an alternative if you have room and short enough telescoping poles, there is a "pocket" with both ends open inside the cover, to stash your poles inside.  Now everything is very neatly stored, and nothing will get lost.  It's a snug fit, but perfectly adequate.  It sure beats paper bags, plastic bags, etc., whether you stuff them in the closet, or carry them on an outing.  I'm a penny pincher, but the tidiness gave me a huge sigh of relief and is worth the money.

Got this to hold extra gel packs and gummy bears to stay fueled on my 100 mile gravel ride. The bike I use has a 3rd bottle cage on the underside of the down tube. Yeah I could have used an old water bottle like others have mentioned,  but most water bottles have a narrow neck which would make it harder to get to the supplies.  The Shimano storage bottle stayed in the standard cage over the bumps that are encountered on dirt and 'unfinished' roads. Everything in the bottle was dry and clean despite the muddy sections. There's enough room to hold at least four gel packs and three packs of gummy bears. Probably could have shoved in more but, I  needed only enough to survive between rest stops.  Kept my jersey pockets free for holding leg warmers and vest as the day got warmer. Not really necessary for everyday use but will definitely will use this again for my next epic gravel adventure.

This is the first Thule product I have ever owned although I have seen many products before, I was still impressed with the simplicity and quality of these ski carriers.  They fit my wife's Subaru Outback as if custom designed.  The rack is adjustable to allow increased clearance of roof if if needed depending on your skis,bindings and vehicle.  Securely lock so casual theft of opportunity is not a concern.

From the moment you open the box you will be impressed and more so as you use these.  Absolutely recommend without reservation.

This backpack is lightweight but sturdy and holds tons of stuff.  It is perfect for traveling and sightseeing and buying gifts to take back home. It holds a laptop and iPad but also had a big open pocket to fit a lot of other gear. There is also had a bottle pocket on the outside of backpack. I have all of the Thule backpacks and this is by far my favorite.

These two side-shelves fit my "Camp Chef Tundra 3X" 3-burner stove that I bought at Costco very nicely.

It took me a few minutes to attach these two shelves to my stove.  Very simple installation.  All the necessary hardware are provided in the hardware kit bag (2 3/16 allen wrenches, and 4 sets of screws and nuts).

When the  stove is in use, I can also put on the windscreen to block the wind while cooking; and when it is not in use, these two shelves can be stowed / folded over to become the lids for the stove (after removing the windscreen first).

Since these shelves are made of metal, and the stove will stay outside on the deck all the time, the next question is how long will they last before getting rusted?

I would highly recommend getting these if you have a Thule car rack set. I thought about skipping this but thought about the rocks opening up on the road and our stuff flying off. The locks definitely make sure everything is in place and gives great piece of mind. Remember that winds can get >40mph very easy in the passes (at least on I-70 in Colorado). Plus thieves will not spend time to steal your stuff if they see locks. If not, its just two button pushes and they get all your gear.

Installation was easy. I really didn't have to read the instructions. It took a bit of fidgeting to get the lock in the rack setup but once it was in, it was a piece of cake. Once in, it felt solid.

Don't skip these!

I recently purchased this item  thru Amazon for a trip we were taking to Marthas Vineyard. Firstly the  item arrived ahead of time which always please me immensely. I had been trying to decide whether this bag would meet my needs. Most of my friends have a Thule hard cover that they keep on top of their cars. I decided to go with the soft and will relay my impressions. It wa ridiculously easy to attach to my rooftop. It holds much more than you think it will hold. We are a family of 5 packing for 2 weeks and we easily fit our bags and extras into the Thule. This left the back of our SUV relatively empty for better rear viewing,thus safer driving. Securing it was also easy. Strapped it right down in minutes. There was some noise during highway driving. It may have been that I didn't bury the extra strap properly or it may have just been that any time you  attach something onto your roof ,wind shear will cause noise. All in all I am thrilled with  the fact that I didn't buy the hard cover and offer a full thumbs up to this product.

Picked these up for my new car, love the low profile look.  As a longtime Thule customer with  several different set ups, this is a great product and meets the expectation they set from my prior use.  Make sure you get the right footpads for your car and you are set.
