In the 8 years that we have been marketing the HandiHoldall, we have not been made aware of a HandiHoldall being removed from the roof of a car or broken into. We do however sometimes hear stories of even solid roof boxes attracting unwanted attention . It is easy to get weighed down by the disadvantages here – pun intended. This massive bag could be a burden in some ways and a pain to set up at first. The quality of materials, production processes and technical features allow the HandiHoldall to resist water ingress during typical and heavy wet weather driving conditions (subject to the manufacturer’s installation guidelines being correctly followed). Upon reaching the destination the HandiHoldall, once removed from the car, makes a useful and effective outdoor storage solution. The HandiHoldall 400 litre is the largest version of the HandiHoldall family. It offers more storage room than any of our other models. This variant of our soft roof box is perfect for families and adventurers who have a lot of gear in tow.

Roof Boxes & Car Roof Bars

In the classic road trip scene, you'll imagine a set of roof bags tied on top of an old-school estate car (or wagon if you're from the U.S). Unfortunately, the sights of classic Volvo 245s and Ford County Squires loaded to the brim with luggage is increasingly rare. But the prospect of roof bags and indeed roof boxes is still very much around.

width and 3/4 width roof boxes allow additional room on the top of your car for bikes, whereas full width roof boxes take up the full width of your car's roof, making them ideal for large loads when going on holiday or moving house. Up to 70 miles per hour / 112 kilometres per hour (subject to national speed limit restrictions). Is there a danger of any water ingress in wet conditions?

Fully welded seams (400 and 175 litre models) resist water, harsh weather and provide excellent durability Bauer Consumer Media Ltd, Company number 01176085; Bauer Radio Limited, Company number: 1394141; Registered office: Media House, Peterborough Business Park, Lynch Wood, Peterborough PE2 6EA and H Bauer Publishing, Company number: LP003328; Registered office: The Lantern, 75 Hampstead Road, London NW1 2PL Here, the softer fabric and the large 330 litre volume mean that it should be a lot easier to put everything need in one adaptable container.

Whatever adventure you’re heading off on, if you need more storage space in the car, it’s time to move your belongings outside of your vehicle and into one of our waterproof soft roof boxes, the HandiHoldall. Available in two different capacities: 175 litre and 400 litre, these unique roof bags are highly waterproof, robust yet lightweight and easy to use. Accessibility: Roof bags are not as accessible once fitted and filled as roof boxes. Roof boxes open easily from one or both sides, whereas roof bags need to be unclipped and unzipped.For home owners with garages, this may be less of an issue, but for car owners that either live in an apartment or do not have access to garage space this is a real conundrum. So when you come to change your car to a newer model, the chances are that the roof bars and the fitting kits fitted on your existing vehicle will not fit the newer one. Even if it’s the same make and model. So in garages and sheds around the country dust settles on roof bars that are no longer required and an investment sits there wasted. The HandiHoldall when used in combination with the Roof Bar Fitting Kit will fit roof bars with a minimum gap 540mm and a maximum gap of 780mm. Looking for a cheap roof box that is cost effective, convenient and offers plenty of storage space? So the 330 litre HandiHoldall may be the perfect option for you. style>
