Other Factors To Consider When Choosing The Correct Car Top Carrier

Sport 1 & 3:  Easy loading 3/4 opening and aerodynamic.  Pick the right size for your vehicle.  Designed for people who like to use a simple zipper to open and close the bag, but with ZipRight Technology added to keep water from entering through the zipper.  For vehicles with no luggage rack,  purchase the Car Clip Strap Set to attach these carriers to your vehicle's door frame or use the included StrapRight Strap Set to run through the vehicle and around the bag.  To make this car top carrier 100% waterproof, purchase the optional Waterproof Car Top Carrier Liner.  The Sport 3 is the largest carrier you will find.  The Sport 1 works on small to mid size vehicles, still providing plenty of extra cargo space.


Sport Jr.: Easy loading 3/4 opening and aerodynamic.  The only carrier designed to fit compact cars without luggage racks.  Use the included Car Clip Strap Set to attach the carrier to your vehicle's door frame.  The clips can be removed to run the straps through the vehicle and around the bag or to use this bag on a larger vehicle with a luggage rack.  This cargo bag is the perfect size to hold your gear on a weekend get away.  To make this car top carrier 100% waterproof, purchase the optional Waterproof Car Top Carrier Liner


Classic:  If you need flexibility, no other car top carrier can match the Classic.  Designed for people who will take advantage of the variable sizing functionality of the fold and bend closure. Pack this roof bag with the opening facing back, side ways, or even up.  For vehicles with no luggage rack,  purchase the Car Clip Strap Set to attach these carriers to your vehicle's door frame or use the included StrapRight Strap Set to run through the vehicle and around the bag.  To make this car top carrier 100% waterproof, purchase the optional Waterproof Car Top Carrier Liner.  One of the best looking and unique PackRight Cargo Carriers.


RZ100:  This carrier is the "Super Model" of the group.  Designed with two-tone Black on Gray with HOT Red Piping accents for people that don't want a "square" bag on their vehicle. Easy loading with its 3/4 urethane coated zipper opening.  For vehicles with no luggage rack,  purchase the Car Clip Strap Set to attach these carriers to your vehicle's door frame or use the included StrapRight Strap Set to run through the vehicle and around the bag.  To make this car top carrier 100% waterproof, purchase the optional Waterproof Car Top Carrier Liner.  The carrier has handles on the side which may allow you to lift the carrier while full, even right into the hotel room.  If you have a nice looking car and want a stylish carrier for the top, this is the one for you.


Cargo Saddlebag: This carrier is a backpack for your vehicle.  PackRight's patented car back design allows for the easiest loading of any of the carriers.  With its totally aerodynamic design, you will not loose any of your precious miles per gallon on the highway either.  The bag creates zero wind resistance when mounted to the back of your vehicle.  The Cargo Saddlebag requires a luggage rack (at least side rails) to be properly mounted. 

The Saddlebag comes with handles on each side which allow you to take a fully loaded bag on and off your vehicle, even all the way into the hotel room.  A plastic insert bottom helps to hold the shape of the bag and re-enforce the bottom.  To make this carrier 100% waterproof, purchase the optional Waterproof Car Top Carrier Liner.  Those not wanting to lift gear overhead and desiring to keep gas mileage high can't go wrong with this carrier.  Please check: you must have a 40" space between the taillights on the rear of your vehicle for the Cargo Saddlebag to ride safely.
