10 cu. ft. Rooftop Cargo Carrier, Weatherproof Lockable, 110 lb. Capacity

After seeing lots of cargo-box reviews that bemoaned lids coming open mid-drive and spewing contents over the highway, I didn't know what to expect. Though the JEGS version cost about half the price of the higher-end versions, I didn't see noticeable issues with quality. I suppose we could have had worse weather, but I wouldn't wish the icy/slushy/snowy roads I covered on anyone — and the JEGS cargo box took it all in stride. Even when I skidded on a bad icy section the second day out (thankfully without hitting anything), the box seemed no worse for the wear when we reached our hotel that night. Over a seven-day drive from Seattle to Anchorage (clocking in at about 3,000 miles, with very muddy conditions along the way), the cargo box got its contents here safely. I noticed a small amount of mud inside when we unpacked things at the end, but it's hard to imagine avoiding that, given how the box brackets onto the roof rack. The only thing worth noting is that we really had to press down firmly to ensure the locks engaged. Make sure to test it after you've turned the lock. If it hasn't engaged, press down harder on the lid, or get help doing so if need be. Overall, I'm pretty happy with this. I was able to fit a large travel backpack filled with clothes; a plastic squatty-potty stool and a large saucepan. We probably could have fit a few more soft items, but once you subtract the rack and cargo-box weight from your roof maximum, you can't necessarily pack the box to the gills. I think I could pack about 75 pounds inside, in the end.

We just drove 3000 miles with this cargo carrier. It definitely did it’s job but the design could have been better. We had it strapped in in addition to carrier attachments and I don’t think the carrier would have been safe without additional reinforcement. The latch that secures the top is pretty flimsy. The carrier fit 4 small bags plus small stuff on top easily. Overall I would recommend this item, for the price it worked just fine, you just have to know how to make it safe.

This is it! This is the one you want. Forget the competition, this unit is built like a tank, but it is still lightweight, easy to manage and manouver. The base and lid are not flimsy and looks to be built to last for many years. This badboy has 4 locks, a front latch, a ton of room, and you can access the carrier from either side. and I bought the smaller of the two available. It was easy to assemble and install. Fits on my 2019 Mazda CX-5 perfectly.

Went on a 2000 mile trip from Denver to Fort Worth and around Fort Worth and back to Denver, I drove through extreme flash flooding where the 18 wheelers shot massive amounts of water into the air onto the Cargo box and not to mention the three hours of continuous hellish thunderstorms where the rain was so bad you couldn't see 50 feet and there were only a few drops of rain on only one of the bags. Extremely water proof I'd say. The only downside to this is the flimsy underside of the box. I carry my tools around with me everywhere and I can't put two tool boxes in it because it'll start to bow down in the center. That said, in every other scenario the cargo box works perfectly, I drive pretty extreme too and even when I stuffed about 5 cargo bags in the cargo box only moved an inch or two on the roof rack. I'd highly recommend over any other expensive crap.

After test driving it before my big trip, I saw that four locks and a front latch wasn't strong enough, so I ended up using a strap to hold it securely. That's my only complaint. It was big enough to fit 3 suitcases and 1 large bag. It was easy to disassemble (hotel garage had low clearance, and I had to take it apart to park it) and reassemble for my trip back home.

Bought the 10 cu ft version for our Subaru Crosstrek just before a 3000 mile road trip. No problems at all, withstood high winds and pouring rain with no leaks (but we didn't put anything valuable or fragile in there just in case). Only affected the gas milage by 2-3 mpg, better than expected. Being able to open from either side is super handy. The arms that hold the top open are a little finicky to use but not a big deal and worth it for the money savings.

I was looking for a roof rack to attach to my Kia Soul roof rack (from Kia) and found this Jegs Rooftop Carrier (10 cubic feet). The product pictures didn't show how it was mounted so I called Jegs to be sure it would work. After giving them my roof rack dimensions and describing the roof rack to them carefully, the Jegs rep said it would work fine and if it didn't I could return it. I decided to order it. Unfortunately it did not work. The mounting bracket is basically a simple clothes hanger shaped wire. While the wire is rigid, it does not mount securely with common roof rack designs. I also have a Thule Evo Wingbar roof rack that is rounded for air flow, and the Jegs bracket won't attach well to that either (the shape of the bracket seems only suitable for perfectly flat roof rack cross bars that don't have an airflow design). The Jegs carrier is supposed to be returnable, so I attempted to return it. I was surprised to find out that I would need to pay shipping for the return, and that the cost of shipping was very high (in the $150 to $360 range, plus a 15% restocking fee). Looking at the Jegs web site, I saw they offered a discounted shipping label option. I called their customer service line and was put on hold for about an hour and bounced through multiple employees before they finally told me that because I bought the product through Amazon there would be no way to even sell me a discounted return label, even though they shipped it to me directly and Amazon was directing me to ship it to the seller rather than using their return service. Basically I can only get back 20% of the cost, at best, by shipping it back totally unused in perfect condition, after having been told that the item would work for my rack and was returnable.

Held up well on a 10hr road trip. Suited my needs well i fit 2 duffle bags and a small carry on suitcase and other stuff with no issues. Easy to use. The locks are a little hard to mange and the hinge to keep the top open is a little difficult to use you would get one side in the hole and getting the other side in the side you just got in comes out so you must work magic to get them both to hold. All and all it held up great and fit my needs. Easy to mount.
