We Tested the iBirdie XXL Rooftop Cargo Carrier: Here’s What We Discovered

After three weeks of testing the iBirdie Roof Rack Cargo Carrier on various road trips, we’re impressed with its massive 32.1 cubic feet capacity. This soft-shell carrier easily accommodated luggage for our family of five, with room to spare for camping gear.

The 1200D fabric proved genuinely waterproof during an unexpected thunderstorm, keeping our belongings completely dry. We appreciated the included anti-slip mat which prevented shifting, even on winding mountain roads.

Installation was straightforward on both our SUV with roof rails and sedan without dedicated racks, thanks to the versatile door hook system. The 60x37x25 inch dimensions provided ample space without excessively impacting fuel economy.

Our only minor complaint was some wind noise at highway speeds, though that’s expected with any rooftop carrier. Overall, the iBirdie offers exceptional storage capacity and weather protection at a competitive price point.
