Back in 1992, you could see some hard-plastic car-top boxes on the road, but the idea of a soft, bag-style roof top carrier had not been tried. Soft materials that were strong and durable enough to withstand the rigors of high-speed travel while exposed to all kinds of weather, were not available.

We developed the concept and manufactured the first commercially available soft car top carriers in 1992. These soft roof-mounted carriers were strong enough to hold luggage securely, and were sold through a number of chain stores under different retail names.

Over the years, we continued to improve the design of our cartop bags as better materials became available and as we learned from continuous testing and from our customers' feedback.

Our soft roof top carriers were so well received that sales mushroomed over the years. As of November 2004, we had manufactured over 100,000 soft car top carriers in our San Diego factory.

However, the cost of these carriers was still too high for many potential users.

With the advent of the Internet, it became possible to sell our quality car top carriers directly to the consumers at reduced prices by avoiding the high costs of distribution and retail stores.

In November of 2004, we started offering directly to consumers via an exclusive Internet store and under the name RoofBag, the same high-quality car top carriers that we had been manufacturing for 12 years. Through the dedicated website RoofBag.com, we were able to offer consumers the benefit of buying top quality car top carriers directly from the factory and at the best possible prices.

Our Internet-based store emphasizes great value, easy and secure shopping experience, same day shipping, choice of shipping options, excellent customer service, and a generous return policy and product warranty. This concept has been well received: since 2004 sales have grown steadily, and as reflected in the testimonials page, we enjoy a high level of customer satisfaction.

With our years of experience, we know how to build car top carriers that are easy to use, safe, versatile, durable and truly waterproof. And following our original spirit of innovation, we continue to improve our products based on continued testing and customers' feedback. That's why we can offer a 30-day return policy and a two-year warranty on all our RoofBag soft carriers.
