The SportRack ease of mounting on my SUV was appreciated. It feels sturdy and proved to be watertight. I heard no wind noise or rattling inside the vehicle even at speeds up to 75 MPH. I bought it because the dimensions made it better for carrying stuff than comparable size Thule or Yakima roof racks. It is not long enough for skis - slight drawback. It's low price was a huge bonus. It opens from the back instead of the side, and on tall vehicles, the easiest way to reach the box is standing on the rear bumper. I highly recommend the SportRack.

Great space saver! We bought the Tahoe from Thule because the three teenagers we tote to vacation take up a lot more space than they used to. Amazing how that works! Now we are able to fit all our luggage for a two-week vacation in the roomy cargo bag. We drove through very hard rain for much of the 500-mile trip, yet our luggage was barely damp - we think that had to do more with humidity than anything else. The side hand-holds make it easy to use and the storage bag makes it easy to store. This one costs more, but the extra space worth the price!

High grade impact & scratch resistant material sets the Ascent series apart from all the rest.

I just used this carrier on a 1600-mile round trip from northern Illinois to North Carolina (on a 2005 Astro Van). On the return trip, we went through extreme hurricane force winds (aftermath from Hurricane Ike) of 75 MPH from all directions in Louisville, KY. The wind downed trees on the interstate, but the carrier held firmly and no rain entered despite an incredible amount of buffeting due to the winds. I was concerned that the sideways and up-and-down effects of severe buffeting might loosen the grips on the crossbar, but the grips were as tight when I arrived home as they were when I left home. I saw two top carriers that had separated from their vehicles and had been run over on I-65...that's how bad the wind was.

Shipping service and tracking through Amazon was great, and the price was the best I could find!

Limited Lifetime Warranty

We've been using Thule products on our cars for about 10 years. I like the "square" form factor. Gives a really good + strong fit. This is my first set of 450's and I'm very pleased. Like all Thules these are well built and beautifully designed. I had some trepidation about the plastic strap on the bottom (I'm a big fan of the 415's) but these fit securely and are working out nicely.

Customer service at Thule is incredible; another great reason for buying their products.

As advertised... an fantastic choice for the Thule luggage carrier!

Sturdy, roomy and they all fit perfect in my Thule car top carrier. After shopping around various stores for similar bags, and they were all $30-$40. I got 4 of these for a little over $100. Fantastic deal, especially if you consider they fit perfectly into the Thule car top carrier by default. They are built from tents material (nylon and tarpaulin), so they have an added durability to them. Slip-resistant bottom, to keep the bags from slipping when driving.

you could never experience fear again.
