 Good deal August 17, 2008
Photo Guy (Waterford WI USA)
Excellent quality construction and design. Easy to attach to vehicle. Good closure - zipper covered by velcro-fastened flap, and extra straps for tightening. Light weight but sturdy. Good capacity - I had 2 medium and 2 small bags, plus 3 beach chairs and towels, and probably could have squeezed in some more.
 Great Rooftop bag, however... August 11, 2008

I have two small complaints. My family and I took a trip to Colorado a couple of weeks ago. This was the reason I purchased this bag. I found the bag to hold lots of cargo...no complaints there. The 2 issues I had were the following: 1) We ran into rain storms on our trip and I found the bag to leak. Our doufe bags got wet and our clothes got wet. To be fair, the clothes were not "dripping wet" however they were more than damp. The only other small issue was I found was 2)that the front flap of the bag would not stay velcro'd down. Because of this, it made noise from the air drag when traveling down the highway. If I had some duct tape, I could have remedy this problem. It could of been the reason why the bag leaked???)
Sooooo, overall this bag met my needs. (I am giving it 3 stars only because my bag leaked...I would really give it 3 3/4 stars if I could). It held lots of luggage (soft sided duffel bags is what I suggest to use pack your Thule bag...you can push and conform them to the shape of the Thule bag, plus I found them easy to throw on top of my Ford Escape's rooftop without fear of damaging the top of the car). I would suggest to you to put your luggage in large hefty trash bags and then store and them into your Thule bag when traveling. Thats what we did after we found out the bag was not 100% waterproof. I hope you find this review to be helpful.
All I expected and then some! July 16, 2008
CTF Goofy (Chicago, IL USA)
After just one trip from Chicago to the Ozarks, I can honestly say the positive reviews for the Thule 866 Escape 2 cartop carrier were right on the money. It attached to my 2004 Freestar roof rack with ease; I stuffed it with 4 good sized duffle bags, one backpack; A medium suitcase; a tri-pod; and I STILL had room for more odds and ends. That left more room in the minivan for the 6 passengers.
I followed the advice and used some duct tape on the straps to prevent them from flapping and it worked great. We drove thru some pretty hard downpours on the way down and nothing got wet. It folds up with ease and stores in its own carry bag. I can't vouch for the longevity of this carrier since we've only used it once, but it seems pretty sturdy. The only negative I can think of is having to wipe off the bugs before putting it away, but even that wasn't too bad with just some wet paper towels. Overall, I'm VERY glad I got this carrier instead of the more expensive hard-top carriers.
Thule 866 Escape II Constucted Very Well March 31, 2008

The Thule 866 Escape II Cargo Bag is everything I expected it to be. I have not used it yet but I can tell you it is constructed of heavy duty material and looks like it will live up to it's billing. Zippers are large and the straps that come with it looks like they will do an adequate job of securing the bag to my roof rails and crossbars. I will do a follow up this fall when I plan to use the bag to free up room on my trip from Arkansas to Colorado and back. The bag packs into its own storage sack which can be used to store other items inside the cargo bag when it is put to use. I had read the other reviews of this product before I bought it and there was a mixed review on water resistance. The bag looks like it would keep items dry but as a precautionary measure I will use garbage bags as insurance to guarantee that fact. I bought some rolls of that rubber waffle type shelf liners to place between the roof and the bag to insure that the loaded bag does not scratch my roof. The bottom and the front/top of the bag is made with a heavier material to ward off the elements when traveling. It looks like it will be simple to attach to the roof rails and crossbars. The instuctions say to bind up any extra straps to keep them from flopping and beating your roof at speed. I probably will use those pull ties used to bundle up electrical wiring and cables. If you use those you will need to cut them when you remove the bag so take plenty of spares with you on your trip.
Great luggage rack February 26, 2008
Alexander M. Oddo (Redwood City, CA USA)
I got this "soft" rooftop cargo bag instead of the standard hard box because it was half the price but it turns out that it's also very easy to use and store and exceeded my expectations. I was able to transport my whole family and all of their luggage without much space inside the car. I would highly recommend this product.
