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.
