Sports reviews of Thule 867 Tahoe Rooftop Cargo Bag

Customer Review: Excellent Cargo Carrier for Your Van or SUV!!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

This review for the Thule Tahoe carrier. Sells for about $180 on Amazon, and $200-$230 from local dealers around town.
This product is excellent for packing items on the roof of a large vehicle - like an SUV or a van.
HOWEVER it is not guaranteed to be completely waterproof or stormproof. If you need your items to be totally dry, even when driving through heavy rain, then you've got two options: (1) Buy the Thule Tahoe carrier and then double-wrap all your gear in plastic trash bags before putting them in the carrier (i.e. same method as for canoeing), or (2) Buy a rooftop carrier made from hard durable plastic - but you'll pay somewhere between $500-$1,000 for a good carrier made from hard polymer.

You do need a roofrack on your vehicle to use this item properly.

OK ... my review:

Well - I give the folks at Thule (in Sweden) an A+ for the design of this cargo carrier!!!

This cargo carrier is built really tough, the design is smart, it's easy to attach to your vehicle, and it's great for getting bulky stuff OUT of your vehicle (so everybody can spread out). I bought one of these flexible cargo carriers when the family grabbed too much gear for a camping trip. Let's face it - clothes, sleeping bags, tents, pillows etc. are all bulky items - pretty soon your entire vehicle is overflowing with stuff. But this cargo bag from Thule is built with super-strong zips and tiedowns. It's ready-to-use when you take it out of the box. DON'T bother buying the smaller size carrier ... this larger version fits on any medium or large SUV. First, adjust your roofrack so the spacer bars (front and back) are well apart. Then zip open the carrier, pack it full of stuff, mount it on top of your vehicle, secure all the straps, and you're ready to GO! By the way, generally I only pack soft gear in the bag - so nothing sharp will puncture the cargo carrier.

One special feature that's particularly helpful ... are the 2 tightening straps on each side of the carrier. They make it very easy to cinch down all the gear and get the final rooftop package into a solid compressed shape. I did NOT have any problems stabilizing this bag while driving - and we were cruising at 70-80 mph. I DO find that using one extra piece of long cord (or rope) is handy - just so you can tie down the bag using the side attach points (apparently not everybody is taking advantage of them).

This is just a great piece of gear - probably one of the best additions for my camping items that I've purchased in a long time.

Description of Thule 867 Tahoe Rooftop Cargo Bag

The all new mega capacity roof top cargo bag for those looking to take it all with them.

The Thule Tahoe Rooftop Cargo Bag is the most spacious rooftop bag that Thule makes. Perfect for most vehicles, the Tahoe is designed to work with virtually any roof rack, attaching to the crossbars, the side rails or both via heavy-duty cargo buckles and double stitched webbing. It's expandable from 15 to 17 cubic feet via reversible zipper construction and at a mere 10 lbs, folds away to nearly nothing, storing away in an included durable storage bag. Additional features include: combined rear and side access to cargo via zippers and weather resistant construction with taped seams to keep your cargo dry, internal foam structure that protects contents and keeps bag shape while loading and unloading, internal mesh pockets for small items, side handles for on-vehicle maneuverability and more.

All the Advantages of a Box but None of the Disadvantages

Thule's Tahoe Rooftop Cargo Bag is designed to simultaneously maximize both storage possibilities and convenience. As handy as a cargo box is, when space is tight -- for instance if you live in an apartment, or have maxed out your garage -- storing one can be a challenge. Capable of carrying up to 17 cubic feet of cargo and weighing a meager 10 lbs (4.5 kg), the Tahoe Rooftop Cargo Bag gives you the same advantages of a large cargo box at a fraction of the space to store it after use. It features a reversible zipper that allows it to expand from its standard size of 15 cubic feet, to an impressive 17 cubic feet. And if you have less than this to haul, simply cinch it down when loaded and in seconds you are ready to roll. It also keeps its shape while protecting items with its internal foam structure. This also makes for easier loading and unloading.

Easy Installation

Installation of the Tahoe Rooftop Cargo Bag is simple. Designed for use with virtually any roof rack -- Thule or otherwise -- it fits between your rack's crossbars and is secured via heavy-duty cargo buckles, anchoring rings and double stitched webbing. (If the distance between your crossbars is less than 41-inches, increase the distance or drape the remaining length of the bag over rear crossbar.) The buckles and straps allow you to attach the bag either to the crossbars at the front and rear, to rack elements at the sides, or both using the included four attachment straps. Altering the positioning of the bag when draped over a vehicle is made easy with the inclusion of reinforced handles along the side straps that allow virtually anyone to move the bag with ease.

Weather Resistant Design

The Thule Tahoe Rooftop Cargo Bag has been designed to be as weather resistant as possible. To start with it is constructed with super-tough, PVC-coated nylon and utilizes taped seams and storm flaps to keep your contents safe and dry. It's Velcro lined zipper pulls also add an extra layer of protection, securing each end to the other, ensuring that your zipper is always sealed against the elements. Finally, the included storage bag protects against incidental moisture, dirt and contact when the bag is away from your vehicle and not in use.

About Thule

Thule was founded in 1942 by the Thulin family, when Eric Thulin, a true lover of the outdoors, put the Thule name on a pike trap he designed and began to sell in Scandinavia. It wasn't long before he added other practical items to the company's portfolio. By the 1960s, the company began to concentrate on car-related products, including its first roof rack. The Thulin family sold Thule to the publicly listed company Eldon in 1979, and it has continued to grow both organically and through acquisitions ever since. The Thule Group is a world leader in providing transport solutions for an active life.
