Great Product - Beat any overhead unit!
By Brockmeister
We took a family vacation in our SUV with 7 passengers and did not have any room to spare for luggage. I started reading reviews all over the internet for cargo carriers. I came across this backpack carrier and was alittle hesitant. All the overhead reviews that I read, the customers were concerned over 2 main points. First was the effect they would have on their gas mileage and second water entering their carriers during rain storms. Well we drove from Texas to New York, then to Florida and back to Texas, over 4300 miles and plenty of rain in between. We were able to load ALL of our luggage in to this carrier, got great gas mileage and most of all it never got a drop of water in the carrier at all. Another great ppoint is that with the overhead carriers, it is really hard to access you stuff during a trip, with this carrier it was a snap. I was totally 100% satisfied with this product and would recommend it to anyone that travels.

By Chad M. Caldwell
This guide will give you everything you need to know about the Pack-Right Carrier or Cargo Saddlebag (sometimes called a car back carrier). Basically, this is a large canvas carrier that fits on the BACK of your car instead of on top of the luggage rack! I personally love my carrier, and it is definitely the best carrier I have ever used. However, I realize that everyone will have different experiences. I hope to help you decide if the Cargo Saddlebag is right for you and your vehicle. Please vote for this guide if you have found it helpful, and please let me know if there is anything I can do to make it more helpful.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ADVANTAGES (PROS):This carrier is comparable in price to other good-quality soft (canvas) top carriers, and MUCH cheaper than any hard-top carrier. While hard-top carriers will easily run you $400 or even more, I bought my PackRight carrier brand new for $149 with free 2-day shipping. However, I had to look around a bit outside of ebay to find the best price and free shipping - do a search online or message me for more information on where to look.The saddlebag will hold lots of stuff since it has 14 cubic feet of space - this is comparable to a mid-sized car trunk.The saddlebag is made of heavy-duty canvas fabric with a very heavy-duty, water-proof liner inside. I sprayed my carrier with a powerful hose and not a single drop got in! In the past, I purchased several different brands of soft car-top carriers (spending anywhere from $40 to over $100) and they all had a cheap and cracked liner inside a lighter-weight fabric.The PackRight Cargo Saddlebag is easy to fill, unload, and carry. Because the cargo saddlebag is on the back of your vehicle, it is much lower and easier to reach than a car-top carrier. You can either fill it before putting it on your car, or fill it after you have attached it. It has two handles on the sides for carrying and to help you put it on your vehicle. While I always had to have help putting on or filling my car-top carriers, I can attach my fully packed saddlebag to my van with no help.You will probably be the only one around with this type of carrier. I drive across South Carolina at least once each year to go to the beach - each time, I see literally thousands of vehicles along the way with car-top carriers, pulling trailers, or even with stuff just strapped to the top of the car. Of all these thousands and thousands of vehicles, I have seen only one other car with a rear cargo saddlebag.BETTER GAS MILEAGE!! Car-top carriers KILL your gas mileage because they cause aerodynamic drag - since the Cargo Saddlebag is behind your vehicle, it has little effect on your gas mileage.DISADVANTAGES (CONS):The carrier does not have locks, so anyone could unzip it (unless you use a small luggage lock to connect the zippers together); it also is canvas, so someone could cut it open instead.It is very hard to find in a brick-and-mortar store, at least where I live. I have never seen it or even been able to order it in any store - I had to go online, but probably saved a ton of money by doing so.The carrier completely covers the area where most license plates are. You will have to move your license plate to a visible location. **Note: This has been fixed in later versions!**Set-up of the carrier will take a while the first time to allow for adjusting the straps, deciding where to put straps, and adjusting your luggage rack on your vehicle. However, after you do this the first time, it will be much easier since the straps will already be the correct length.The carrier has about 50 feet of straps on it that make it harder to fold up and store and harder to carry around without help. It often seems like a giant octopus with all those straps going everywhere.The "bottom" of the carrier is a very flimsy and cheap plastic piece that will not even lie flat. You will need to make a better bottom for your carrier before using it. I will give you all the details for this later so you can have everything ready before you need to use your carrier.You cannot open the back hatch or door of your vehicle until you remove the saddlebag. This means that you may not be able to access what is in the back of your vehicle, or that you cannot use the back as an emergency exit.Your vehicle will be about two feet longer in the back - you must be more careful when parking and especially backing up.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------While this carrier does have its disadvantages, I found it to be much easier to use and better quality than the other car-top carriers that I have used in the past. As with anything else, you should think about the advantages and disadvantages, do some research, and really think about what you need. If you do decide to go with this product, then I have some tips below for using it.SET-UP AND PACKING YOUR CARGO SADDLEBAG:Before you use your saddlebag, you need to make a sturdier bottom piece. Open up your saddlebag and take out the plastic insert at the bottom. Use it as a guide to cut a similar sized piece of plywood. Be sure to sand off the edges and corners of the plywood. Insert the plywood back into the bottom pocket where the plastic piece was.Take the thick straps attached to the carrier and run them through your vehicle's luggage rack. Adjust the straps so the carrier is sitting on your back bumper (you will need to make final adjustments later).Take the long thick strap and run it through the bottom of the bag and attach it to another part of the luggage rack. This will provide extra support and stability. I do NOT recommend that you wrap the strap sideways around the bag and your back door or hatch (as some websites recommend), as this is much more difficult to accomplish and provides no extra stability.Take the thin straps and attach them to the bottom of the bag. You may be able to attach these to a trailer hitch or other part of the back of your vehicle. However, my Town and Country van did not have anything, but I used two adjustable bungee cords with hooks and strapped them to a part of the undercarriage. Some websites advise you to drill holes into your bumper or spend $50 on extra parts - that is ridiculous! My bungee cords cost $3.97 each, and my carrier never once moved. I recommend that you criss-cross the straps by attaching the left strap to the right of your vehicle, and vice versa - this will provide more stability.Fill the bag with soft luggage only - soft bags, towels, clothes, etc. Do not pack coolers, hard luggage, or anything that could cut or pierce the carrier. Remember that the maximum weight is the lesser of either 100 pounds or what your luggage rack can handle, and figure in the weight of the bag and plywood.Adjust the straps so they are just right and go for a test-drive. Your carrier should not slip off the bumper at any time or move from side to side. If it moves at all while you are driving, then you need to adjust it.Now that your straps are adjusted you can either fill and unload the carrier while it is attached or not. I tried it both ways and found it equally easy to do. However, if you cannot lift the carrier by yourself, or do not have anyone to help you, then you should attach it first and then load it.

Great Product
By Linda D
As we were looking for a car top carrier we came across this car back carrier and thought it would be ideal for a trip with our grand kids since we needed the back of our car open for our dog. It worked perfectly on our trip and we plan to use it in a few months to take our grand kids to Yellowstone! We also noticed several people behind us on the road writing down the name of the carrier! The only two items that I think could be improved are 1. The carrier needs a more rigid bottom. We had to put a piece of plywood in the bottom of the carrier and 2. Since it covers up license plate it should have a way of attaching the plate securely to the carrier. We took our plate off the car and taped it in our back window but since our windows are tinted it was hard to see it.
