MaxxHaul 70209 Soft Shell Cargo Carrier Bag for Hitch Mount Cargo Rack - Heavy Duty and Water Resistant 47 inch 20 inch x 20 inch Black with Tie Down Straps

Update: Cleaned all the road grime, salt and dirt of it, looks in great shape. Minor surface scratching (picture make it look a lot worse) on the bottom, no cuts or gouges and no seam damage with the exception of one corner. Even though some thread is showing, it is not torn and does not leak. Immersed the corner to see if showed dampness inside - none. Still very happy with my purchase. Reminder that this last trip was mid winter across the northern states with snow, ice, sand, gravel and salt and the bottom was exposed the entire time. Next trip I’ll cut out a piece of 1/8” fiberboard to protect it better. My bumper rack is just the Harbor Freight one. It looks way worse than the bag.Bottom line: excellent product, highly recommended.Two trips coast to coast, hot and cold, no damage and when hosed off, still looks new. Bought it August 2022, one trip there and back across the south, coast to coast; in October, next trip across the northern states and back in Dec/Jan. Cold down to -1F, lots of road salt, gravel and sand, still no damage. Pretty impressed overall. Zipper has held up completely as have the seams. Frankly, I didn’t expect it to do so well. I am very happy with its performance. The bottom that took the most abuse wiped off clean, no tears, nicks or scratches.The only difficult part is because the zipper is so well protected, it was hard to operate in sub freezing weather, hard to open around the two corners. With that said, I’m happy it was like that, kept the water, snow, dirt and everything else out, even in the rains of the Olympic peninsula in December-torrential.Fit well in my harbor freight bumper mounted rack. The rack looks like hell; the bag looks, and still is, in excellent shape.Comment: I made this review more comprehensive because when I was looking for a bag, reviews were mixed on most of the less expensive bags. I bought this one even though it was not expensive figuring at worst, I could throw it away at the end of the trip and not be out much. It has over 14K miles on it now and still working as advertised. Highly recommend.

We bought this around xmas 2018 mainly to give us more room in the suv on the way to family’s house with 5 people and a ton of wrapped gifts, cooler of food and luggage.We had he hitch hauler and need a way to protect the items we were putting on it from the wind and weather.We definitely put it though its paces on the first use. It was cold and rainy and we had multiple stops where had to get things out of it.Pros:1) it held up in the wind at highway speeds without any issues at all2) absolutely no water seeped into its interior, even though it rained the entire trip.3) Good solid zippers that are easy to use and hold well4) fold over flap with velcro that covers the zippers after closing to keep water out5) several, plenty of good straps to hold it onto the hitch hauler (if you’re using one)6) Big enough for a large cooler and still extra room for additional boxes and other items7) additional straps for keeping the stress off the zippers after you close it8) super thick, tough bottom, sidewalls and lidCons:1) none that I encountered. Some claim that this leaked for them, I can’t see that happening if everything is done right. Maybe if its not filled, a loose top might have cavities that would hold water. Since we had it filled(stuffed actually), it wasn’t an issue for us.Overall: highly impressed with the quality of this product. Expect it have along fruitful life for us.

Used this on a week long cross country journey. The bag was easily attached and secured to my cargo hauler. No extra straps needed to keep my gear secure. Didn’t have any rain on the trip so can’t attest to any leaking issues. Some folks have expressed issues with melting from the exhaust pipe but I had no problem with this. It really didn’t seem to be that close to my tail pipe. Did use a barrier underneath it to keep road dirt off the bottom of it. As mentioned , secured my gear nicely with the straps included; no need for anything extra to secure it. Seemed sturdy, had some trouble consistently with the zipper around the corners but not a big deal for me, just a little patience. Fit my cargo hauler perfectly, so the dimensions are as stated. Can’t wait to travel with it again. Great purchase.

I should have bought new instead of used. There were no straps to secure it to my carrier.cost more to get the straps.There was plastic caught in the zipper-got it out but it took a while.But, it is waterproof as advertised.Drove 1440 miles and it survived.
