Customer Reviews
I've used two different bag carriers in the past. Both were pains to use, especially in winter, when the zippers and fabric were stiff. In those cases, too, the zippers were on top, difficult to reach and stuff luggage. This Rola was a relief for my budget and back. Sturdy aluminum frame in a bottom sleeve that's separate from luggage compartment (although part of a bracket ripped my inner fabric while inserting frame). Flexible soft-side design has allowed me to fit a large family tent, 6 sleeping bags, about 6 duffel/backpacks, and 3 folded air mattresses (easily stuffed from one of 3 zippered doors with weather flaps). On my 04 Durango, with crossbars, installation was simple and allowed enough room alongside for 6 camp chairs. I deducted a star b/c fabric ripped and instructions were poorly written. I love the collapsibility and provided rain fly. Although I was searching for a reasonable shell carrier, this seems like it is a better value. Smart design!
Two thumbs up.
I purchased this carrier prior to a 9 day vacation. I drove about 2000 miles with it. I have a three row vehicle which has little storage when all three rows are utilized. The Rola Pursuit had enough room to handle all of our luggage for 3 adults and 3 kids for the duration.
I drove with the carrier in 3 different conditions: fully loaded, in storage position (covered), and 1/2 loaded.
1.) Fully loaded there was no wind noise even doing 80+ MPH.
2.) Covered in the storage position - I would not recommend this except around town, at low MPH. Use the cover when you take it down for storage. It flaps even with the cover tightened when on top of the vehicle. Spend the 5 minutes to take it off and fold it up. It takes almost no room, and is easy to pull off, take apart and reassemble in another 5 minutes later when you need it.
3.) 1/2 loaded there was no wind noise, again doing 80+ MPH.
My gas mileage is typically 24 on the highway without the carrier. With the unit on top I was still getting 21 MPG.
This unit is probably the best ~ $250 I have ever spent.
