Comments about Thule Tahoe Roof Bag:
We fit 2 cots, 2 sleeping pads, 12x12 tent, 4 sleeping bags, camping stove, stove stand, 4 jackets, 4 pillows, and 2 towels in the bag. It still seemed like it had more room to spare. The straps came loose and would rattle. We pulled off 6 times to fix the last 2 times we used duct tape to keep the straps held tight. The bag would have gotten a 5 star rating from me if there was a pocket or some place to put the straps. It also rained while using the bag and the items towards the top of the bag by the zipper did get damp.

Comments about Thule Tahoe Roof Bag:
This bag is awesome! My wife and I took a road trip this weekend and used it for the first time. We bought it so the two of us, our two kids, and 60-pound boxer could all fit in the car without being sandwiched together and it worked great!When you expand the roof bag, there's an incredible amount of space. We were able to fit our two-seater baby jogger and two large duffle bags without any problem! And once we got to our destination, we took the duffle bags out and closed the expansion panel and fit the baby jogger snuggly.I read the other review before I purchased the bag and saw the problems with the excess from the compression straps. He was right. Thule should put a piece of elastic to tuck that excess, but four rubber bands around the compression strap buckles and you're off an running. The rubber bands held the excess snuggly and we never heard any flapping on the roof of our Honda Pilot.We also didn't drive through any rain, so I can't comment on the water resistance/proofness, but the bag's material seems like it'll be pretty water resistant with the exception of the seam created by the zipper. But if you use water resistant/proof bags, then you should have anything to worry about.The biggest cons are: 1) Thule doesn't include anything for the excess compression straps, seriously - [$] and they can't include four pieces of elastic?. 2) It would be great if there was a way to make the zipper-seam water-proof vice water-resistant. I know I didn't go through rain, but I know that a heavy downpour would get in through the zipper. However, it's a lot easier to store this bag in it's storage pouch than it would be a hard-shell top, so you get what you pay for...I would recommend that any large family that wants to add a little more space in the vehicle for long road trips get this bag. It's worth it!
