Rightline Gear Sport Jr 10 Cu Ft

Should you buy the Rightline Gear Sport Jr 10 Cu Ft?

The Rightline Gear Sport Jr 10 Cu Ft is for sedan and hatchback owners who need a little overflow space a few times a year and want something that stores in a closet. At $65.99 it ranks #8 of 10 in our Rooftop Cargo Boxes category. No crossbars are needed. If you drive an SUV and need real volume, the RoofPax XXL 28 Cu Ft Roof Bag holds almost three times as much for $156.80.

Where it earns its score

• Lowest price here. $65.99 is the cheapest entry in the category and 40% off the $109.99 list price.
• No rack needed. Included car clips hook the straps to the door-frame weather molding on a bare roof.
• Weatherproof build. Welded seams and a SZIP waterproof zipper keep rain out of the main opening.
• Stores small. At 5.33 lb it folds into the included stuff sack, which has the setup guide sewn in.

What to know first

• Features is the lowest factor at 62. 10 cu ft is modest, there is no lock, and it has none of the shape or security of a hard box.
• Straps run through the doors. On cars without a rack the clips sit on the door-frame weather molding, so check the seals after long trips.
• Mesh, not solid vinyl. The PVC semi-coated mesh is UV-protected, but pack electronics in dry bags as a precaution.
