Are gear and clothing important to you when you travel? If so, take some time and patience. We were allowed to test our cargo bag during its first tough test run. After reading all the complaints and seeing a lot of incorrect weight settings on our previous trips, I went ahead and developed a game plan that made our gear and clothing much safer on our recent trip to wet and frozen wonderlands, from 65 to 80 mph . Prep: Of all the bugs I've found in the comments and previous trips, just stuff things into a cargo bag and tie it up. The shapes of the cargo sacks on the vehicles looked as if they had corpses stuffed into them and tied with straps. Some were overbelted and appeared deformed. Others were stuffed and looked like inflated balloons. Some cargo bags were tethered under slanted straps, resulting in poor aerodynamics that could be seen on foggy and rainy days, creating unique trails. So $5 for 0.5" PVC pipes, $5 for 90 and 45 degree bends, $5 for a tee. Connect and create a frame. Slide the frame in and the pannier is now aerodynamically designed with or without cargo.The built-in straps on the luggage bag can exercise the surface area of the luggage bag and constantly improve wind flow to minimize drag.Carrying Capacity: We have our overstuffed 48" x 19" suitcase, a 27 gallon HDX (yellow top and black body) packed with gear and a small 19" x 12" carry-on bag full of Mrs. There was still enough room on the side and front of the bag to fit 8 pairs of shoes and boots as well as custom gear Let's just say the cargo pocket was very, very, very full but still kept its aerodynamic shape Waterproofing: All of our gear and bags were clean and dry even when we endured rainy days, then snow and freezing nights ΓΌ survived. Not even a drop of water got into the bag. On the other hand, moisture can bypass the zipper. This is even the case with hard shell cases. Durability: After the bag was bombed, no tears, holes, cracks or damage were seen, including small stones fired at us from vehicles at high speed, as well as falling debris. in heavily forested areas. Assembly and Storage: We simply broke our frame, rolled the bag away and placed it in a small space in our hall closet. The size of the frame and bag is no larger than the size of our vacuum cleaner. Our luggage rack is always on top of our vehicle for transport. Aerodynamic drag: Our SUV typically averages around 16.5mpg at 75mph with the strut up. Throwing the cargo bag from above at full force in its calculated form drops the average fuel economy per gallon to 16.2. Noise: Since our cargo box makes tons of noise at 92dB from above, there is no additional noise level when fully loaded. Pocket. No, we didn't suffer from 92 dB in the cabin; constant dull sound at 39 dB. The sensor was mounted behind the strut fairing to get the correct readings above. I took off the trunk and just slapped the bag on it, the bare roof already generated 84 dB at 75 km/h measured by the cross braces in the rear protected area of the car roof rack, and the bag increased the noise level to 87 dB. measured on the back of the bag. Not much more noise Pet Callus: The only thing I didn't like was the small zipper pull. On cold/frosty days, small zippered handles weren't enough to hold on to. I always keep a small carabiner on my keys for such occasions. The experience of a senior traveler is very important.
