Because of its location on the back of the vehicle, the the Carrier does not have to withstand oncoming wind or bugs like a car top carrier, and its welded seams, urethane coated zipper, and hook-&-loop-close zipper flap keeps it 100% waterproof.

The carrier is constructed from UV protected PVC Semi-Coated Mesh XT. The end result is a highly durable cargo bag that lets you travel with the peace of mind that your gear will stay dry.

The bottom pole frame provides structural support for the cargo in the bag. An interior-access license plate sleeve allows you to keep your tag visible. After your trip, the poles break down and the entire luggage carrier rolls up for storage in a stuff sack.

The Car Back Carrier's patented design is the perfect solution for those who transport their paddle sports, snow sports, or cycling equipment on SUVs, minivans, and crossovers. It allows you to keep your gear on the roof - and cargo on the back - so you can transport your belongings and your passengers without compromising safety, comfort, or convenience. Gear up with confidence; the Carrier's easy rear access and Grab-N-Go handles means you don't have to worry about rooftop loading and unloading, and you can easily carry your bag inside once you've reached your destination! The Rightline Gear Car Back Carrier attaches to vehicles WITH or WITHOUT a roof rack!
