PackRight Car Top Carrier Features

What makes Rightline Gear PackRight car top carriers the best?

1. Waterproof - Not Weather Resistant. With the addition of the Waterproof Liner, all PackRight cargo bags are completely waterproof. PackRight uses the fold and bed closure with the Classic Carrier, just like white water rafting bags. They use the unique ZipRight closure system with the Sport models. These features keep water out. It is remotely possible that some water may seep through the stitching of a bag, but with the  liner, no water ever touches your gear. PackRight cargo carriers do a better job than most in keeping water out, but with the liner inside they are the most waterproof roof bags on the market hands down. At LakelandGear, we test the carriers that we offer and they work.

2. PackRight's Specialty Is Car Top Carriers. Since their first carrier design in 1995, PackRight has been refining, improving, and evaluating customer feedback. They have moved manufacturing to ISO 9000 factories with a great quality control program. Most other car top carriers are manufactured by companies that mainly make other products. They make a car top carrier as an after thought, just to expand their line. You can recognize these carriers as the cheap ones found at mass merchandise stores. PackRight is the technical authority on car top carriers and is responsible for many of the innovative features found on their products and in the industry today. When you shop, avoid straps that are sewn into the bag itself because they will rip away from the car carrier. Our recommendation: PackRight car top carriers are the best.

3. Hydrotuff Material Is The Best. Hydrotuff is a proprietary dual layer polyesther/waterproof pvc, UV resistant material. It is thick, resistant to cuts, and will not tear. Simply the best choice for car top bags, both functionally and aesthetically. Avoid nylon material which will rot in the sun. The Hydrotuff material will work well in the Arizona desert heat and on the Alaskan freezing tundra.

4. Unique PackRight Features. All of the zippers on the PackRight Sport Carriers are urethane coated, but that is not all. They also have the ZipRight System to keep water out by locating the zipper on the flap and not in the crease between bag and flap. The StrapRight straps are top notch and used by many folks for uses other than holding car top carriers to roofs. The straps are not sewn into the carrier so they won't tear off in the middle of a trip. The Classic Car Top Carrier's single piece construction and fold and bend closure make it one of the most simple and water tight carriers that you will find. PackRight provides the accessories needed to fix the little and big problems associated with roof bags. Please check out the Waterproof Car Top Carrier Liner, the Security Cable Lock, the Non-skid Roof Protection Pad, and the Car Clip Strap Set for vehicles without a luggage rack.

5.  Quality Manufacturing.  PackRight pays attention to thread and needle size to make a strong seam that keeps the water out.  If you hold cheap carriers up to a light, you will see gaping needle holes and can even see threads or shadows through the thin material. PackRight's quality control program ensures that you receive a cargo carrier that was made exactly the same way that it was designed.

6.  You Can Choose Your Accessories.  Why not just include 'everything' with each carrier?  PackRight wants to keep the price down so you only pay for what you need.  Our cargo carriers come with four sets of StrapRight straps, ready to go out of the package. The Waterproof Liner is available for those that want total assurance they gear will be dry under any circumstances.  The Car Clip Strap Set is available if you don't have a luggage rack.  Roof Protection Pads are available to protect your roof from sharp or hard items that go inside your carrier bag.  No one pays for products they don't need.  At LakelandGear, we respect your knowledge and judgment.
