A very high quality cargo carrier  UPDATED

This was sturdier and better made than I had expected.  It's a heavyweight material and should hold up well for anything I put in it.

UPDATE 11/2016:  The seam connecting the sides to the end of the organizer ripped (about a 2 inch tear) as I was pulling the empty folded organizer out of the trunk.  Will see if the lifetime guarantee is honored if I can figure out how to contact them.  I'll update the review again if it gets resolved.

UPDATE #2:  After seeing my update with the tear, I was immediately provided with an email address to contact for a replacement.  Less than 3 days later, a new replacement organizer arrived.  Great customer service and a company that stands behind their products.  Thank you!

I received the panniers in 12 days in an appropriate sized package, well protected and undamaged.
The bags themselves appear very roomy and the bags open enough to be easy to pack and access gear through.
The openings in either end of the top bag are great! I wish every pack was made like this. It makes packing easy and allows access to everything without having to unpack anything. I can't explain how important this is for keeping gear dry and clean.
The attachment to the rack is dual METAL hooks with what seems to be powder coating and held by 3 rivets to the full length plastic backing insert. Metal is important because some of the plastic clips break in extreme cold. The bottom of the bags are fastened to the rack with a belt and buckle system that attaches it tight to the rack.
The elastic holding the mesh bags closed seems strong and the section holds 2 cans of soda or a 22 oz water bottle plus more.
The end pockets are large and each of them can hold a couple of spare tubes, a mini pump or CO2 filler and tools for making repairs or other quick access needs. The pocket also has a strap for attaching lights.
Upon removing and inspecting the bags I noticed the fabric attaching the zipper was coming unraveled. When I inspected the problem I noticed that the material attaching the zipper to the bag was not sewn right or was not the right material for the job. I contacted the seller via Amazon and after a couple of emails we explored what was wrong and they offered to not only accept a return but returned my money including shipping and no need for me to return the damaged bags! That is above and beyond in my opinion. They are working with their supplier to improve the construction and will send me a replacement at no cost as soon as the improved version is available.
Bottom line, in my opinion this new company is very responsive to problems, willing to work with the customer and the manufacturer and stand behind their product with money, time and service to the buyer and deserve 5 stars even with a product that needs improvement. There isn't very many companies regardless which side of the Pacific that goes this far. I'm sure you will be pleased with these folks and encourage you to purchase from them.
I will update this review as things develop.

I received my new set of panniers last week and have had a chance to go out on a couple of overnighters preparing for a 10 day tour in a couple of weeks.
The issue with the poor stitching has been eliminated and the seams and connecting materials have been resolved. The bags appear sturdy enough for a 2 week tour and roomy enough to do it self supported. The top bag holds my hammock and suspension system along with a 10' by 12' tarp and 2 synthetic quilts. The side bags are capable of holding a couple weeks food and all the other equipment an experienced camper needs.
The rain cover is a bright and reflective treated yellow nylon that is water resistant and snuggles down tight using elastic trim and seems adequate enough for the job. It does not sag into the tires except when empty with something in the end pocket. I eliminated the problem with a sheet of plastic cut to fit the bottom of the bag. The bag sits back far enough that my sized 12 feet don't rub on them and they don't add a huge amount to your bikeload.
After getting to use the bags and having peddled around 40 miles with them I would recommend them.

I love this bag. It's fantastic. It's very high quality fabric and a very strong, very storm/weatherproof liner. It's likely even waterproof, but I can't comment on it being anymore than just very weather proof.

I think in the next version they should add a lower set of compression straps, as mine only has upper. And the reflective tabs should really be removable - or at least swappable so I can put them on the other side to run this bag on the drive side of my bike.

The only last change I would recommend would be tabs for lights on either side.

But other than that - this is a great bag. It is ideal size for my 61cm frame and very well put together. It has strong stitching, clean seams, and a very professional appearance. The zippers are ubiquitous YKK that can handle everything. The front slash pocket is not waterproof, but doesn't need to be.

I really like this bag - it should last a good long while.

Easy to put together and very sturdy. I have nothing but good things to say about this cargo carrier. Looks great and with a good hitch tightener it doesn't budge.

I have had many other laundry sorters in the past and they broke after a period of time.  This is a very high quality and rugged unit that also looks good.  This luggage rack is very well thought out.  The individual sorting bags can be very easily removed and replaced.  All the hardware and fabrics are of very high quality.

Overall, I highly recommend buying this unit

Everything fit during assembly, cart holds cargo well and tracks smoothly.  So far, very happy--Delivery was exceptionally quick with only minor dings on exterior box.  Time will tell about the durability, but it looks good, so far.

The box is very well constructed and the joints are thoroughly sealed.. I would highly recommend this enclosure for those tight on cargo space but still need that "Bump."

This Cargo Bag worked out very well.  It was heavy duty - easy to mount on top of my rear cargo carrier - and it protected my cargo just great.  I took a trip to Florida with it  - and it survived the trip through snow and rain  - on a long highway trip just great.
My cargo stayed dry - and it was easy to load and unload.  Very happy with it's performance. A very good investment.

Love this cargo carrier! Well made, simple to install. I use it everyday and it is well worth the price! Like a sturdy tractor when it comes to getting the job done! Great product. I will definitely keep purchasing this product!

This carrier is water proof sealed and has a lot of room. I build a wood box frame for what i felt was easier access and ability to strap to a cargo carrier. The glue on the velcro did peal on some areas but i put some adhesive on it and it went back on. On a cargo carrier the bag is short enough for drivers to see your lights and plates on a mazda cx5 and likely other crossovers.

Good standard carrier with multiple ways to open.

I love this carrier.  It is well made ( in the US), and allows me to carry plenty of wood.  I received the carrier even earlier that expected, and the price was very reasonable.  I'm very happy with my purchase.  It is so refreshing to get good service.

This cargo carrier was easy to assemble and attach to our SUV.  I used it on a 1,000 mile round trip with no issues and it performed beautifully.  No wobbling or noise.  I was able to pack it up, tarp and strap everything down on it the night before we left and then with the help of my son, install it to the hitch and take off the next morning with little hassle. The only complaint I have is that there is some mismatch on the holes for the pin that holds the rack in the upright position.  I can get the pin through with a hammer but it should slide through more easily.  I think this is in line with other reviewer's comments on similar issues with the construction so you may need to be ready to do some slight modification such as opening up some hole sizes if you order this model.

After buying and returning two defective Picnic At Ascot food carriers, I finally looked at this product. At $8 less than the PAA carriers and infinitely better fabrication, it's a gem. A high quality carrier, made with care, fully insulated, covered in attractive, but tough material with a good heft, that zips and unzips like a breeze. Even better, it has two compartments; the thermal insulation-lined bottom that can easily hold a 15"x11" casserole dish with room to spare for hot/cold packs (not included), and a top layer lined with waterproof fabric that can hold another dish of equal size. It folds flat easily for storage and expands again just as easily for use.

 I'd love to give it five stars, but have taken one star off for the handle. PAA had one good idea; they gave their carriers stiff, reinforced handles that could velcro together for safe transport. By comparison, the handles on this item are more flimsy (not enough to feel like they'll break, but the sagginess is slightly irritating, especially when there's a lot of weight to pull), and the lack of velcro is a shame.

 That one detail aside, it seems to be a well-made food carrier. I'll update to review how it holds up over time and repeated use.

I researched several cargo box models from Thule, Yakima and SportRack for our 2011 Honda Pilot.  I chose this model based on user reviews, features and Thule's reputation and my past experiences with their products; I am glad I did.  I chose to purchase from Amazon based on their price and free S/H for the item.

First off, I ordered this product on a Thursday evening and it was delivered to me the following Tue.  Pilot did a great job of coordinating a delivery time with me and their drivers showed up on time with the product perfectly intact.

Mounting the box is a breeze and it is a perfect fit for the Honda Pilot.  I installed on my rack using the OEM crossbars and it attaches snugly.  Within 10 minutes I had this box out of it's shipping box, my crossbars spread apart to their furthest positions, and the box mounted securely to my rack.  The adjustment knobs in conjunction with the 'pinchers' is a wonderful mounting method, making it fast and easy.  I can't imagine using some of the other methods I saw in the other boxes I considered.

Once mounted, I drove with the box attached for a few days to make sure the mounting hardware was all intact after a bit of usage and to also evaluate wind noise and fuel consumption under various average speeds.  I noticed no wind noise (but the Pilot has a relatively quiet cabin to begin with), no noticable change in handling characteristics and maybe a 1 mpg loss in fuel economy.  This was after a mix of city streets and highway driving, up to 70-75 mph.

The dual-side opening method for the box is perfect; I imagine loading and unloading this box is going to be quite easy and should we need quick access to anything stored in there while on the road, it would be quite simple to get inside.  It seems like it's going to store quite a bit of bags, toys, boxes, etc.

We will be putting it to a real test in about a month when we take it on a ~1700 mile trip to South Florida.  With 3 dogs, a 2 year old and another on the way, I'm looking forward to seeing how much free space this will provide us on a family trip.  I'll be updating my review after that trip and will be sure to take some pics of the box mounted, to help anyone out there viewing this to get an idea of it's true size.

As for storing this item, I chose to use a Hyloft 45" x 45" ceiling mounted storage shelf and it's a perfect fit.  I believe that item is also available here on Amazon for a fair price, but I opted to purchase it from my local home improvement store.

A sturdy and attractive cargo pack of superior quality that fits nicely in our 2015 Murano along the backside of the rear seats, while still leaving plenty of cargo space. Folds flat within an inch or so when not in use and easily springs to fully open when you're ready to pack.

There is no smell, as some say, and no problems with dividers that adjust with substantial Velcro fasteners.

I haven't tried hauling cargo outside the car, but the base is very substantial and supportive and should support, within reason, a typical trip to the grocery store, unless you add gallon jugs of milk!

This is not your typical, cheap cargo box that hardly stays open. Open this one -- it stays open to load. Dividers hold firm. Well worth the additional cost. Buy it, if you can afford it.
