Ikea blue bags or the large zip up laundry bags seem to be popular. When loading a roof box we suggest using soft luggage such as holdalls as they are easy to load and are flexible to make the most of the space whereas hard luggage is not space efficient.A set of folding steps can be helpful too. A saloon or estate is relatively low whereas an SUV/4×4 is going to be taller and so putting anything large or heavy might be slightly harder or need two people to do it safely. Also factor in the height of your car for what you want to load too.You’ll always fill it and it’s always better to have extra room than trying to squeeze everything in and closing the lid. medium or large we always suggest going for the larger size. First you need to think about what you want to carry in it and be realistic about loading it.How big is X litres and can I put Y roof box on my car and what is I want to carry Z on the roof too? – These are typical questions customers have when trying to determine what type/size of roof box they want or need.
