Thule's new fabric 300 litre Ranger 500 "roof bag" is designed for people without home storage space - simply roll it up when it's not in use. If you do live in a flat, without a garage or shed, or lack a helpful friend with a garage or shed, then for sure it's a good idea. On the downside we're concerned about the security aspect - a problem with all fabric roof bags or roof bar systems - as well as the longevity of the zip which is likely to be under great tension, if our own roof box experiences are anything to go by! Opening and shutting is also a slow business compared to a traditional box. It uses the Easy-Snap U-bolt fittings used in Thule's X1 box. Fits roof bars up to 82mm wide and 35 mm deep (i.e. all the Thule / Atera / CRUZ bars we supply). Features:
If you are using this box on Prorack bars you'll need a set of the Thule 697-1 aerobar adapters shown below. These are not needed for Atera, CRUZ or Thule aerobars but using them will save the Ranger U bolts from marking the bottom and sides of the aluminium aerobars. |
Very few customers know much about the roof box market before they visit our site. We have a lot of information about the things to think about before buying, and the “real world usefulness" of various roof box features, but you’ll be buying sight unseen, and you probably won’t have used a roof box before, so there is inevitably some luck in getting a box which you’ll be happy with. We want to remove the risks of buying these large and often expensive items, perhaps from brands which almost every other roof box retailer doesn’t stock, and so we have a unique “90 day Exchange Scheme” for roof boxes. This allows you to use a roof box and, with the benefit of experience, to exchange it for a new one within 90 days of invoice date. Most exchanges are from a shorter box to a longer one, or from a wider box to a narrower one. These are the rules of the Exchange Scheme:
This is how the exchange scheme works:
