Thanks again boot-bag group for an awesome product! For those of you researching or still on the fence if you want to buy one for camping or road trips with a Miata... the Revo-Rack is the way!

I recently did a 800 mile road/camping trip with a ND-Miata group through Death Valley. The Revo-Rack was fantastic in expanding the amount of storage space available to me and allowed for us to bring way more creature comforts camping than we would have been able to otherwise. I was nervous at first keeping up with the other ND-Miata drivers who did not have racks installed as they went 80+mph and took the turns as you do in a sports car. However, my worry was unwarranted as the rack didn't budge and everything stayed tight as I threw my car into increasingly faster and more challenging roads.

Lastly, when I was done with the rack, it came off with ease, didn't leave any marks and packed up easily in it's case. It now sits ready to go for the next time adventure calls and all you own is a two-seater convertible.

Hello Revo-Rack people

I am fortunate enough to own a Honda S660 which I imported from Japan. It is a lovely little two seater mid-engined sports car which is a great pleasure to drive. Unfortunately it has absolutely no luggage space at all! The rear is obviously filled with the engine and the front bonnet contains the radiator, pumps and various pieces of ancillary equipment. There is a holder for the soft top in the front bonnet but once the top is removed and stowed there is absolutely zero luggage space other than the passenger seat. I was keen to take the car for some weekend trips away with my wife and couldn’t find any solutions until I found your Revo-Rack.

The usual 3 suction cup placement was precluded by the deep channel on the car’s rear engine cover but you helpfully supplied a fourth suction cup and I was easily able to mount the suction cups so that they fit the engine cover perfectly. (For the information of other S660 owners two suction cups should be mounted on the top strut approximately 6 inches inboard from the sides of the rack - basically in line with the rear suction cups)

I have just returned from a 5 day 1500 km trip along the New South Wales coast where the rack performed flawlessly. We had a large 20kg kitbag on it and it didn’t budge at all. We removed and refitted the rack daily with a little water but even though some of the roads we were on were rough the suction cups did not require pumping during the day at all.

I congratulate you on a marvellous invention and I recommend the Revo-Rack to all of the Honda S660 owners out there.

Yours sincerely

I see where I can post a review but I am not sure how to attach a photo so sending an email with photos and will do a proper review tomorrow. I just finished a 4600 mile/ 7400 km road trip. loved the bag!!! It held my camping gear no problem. the bag never moved an inch even at speeds of 95 mph/ 152 kph. it was rock solid. I ran into very little rain, and my gear didn't allow me to fold the top of the bag down over the zipper with the velcro flap, but I wasn't worried. most of my gear was in their water resistant bags. maybe if I practiced beforehand a better way to load it…

Had a few people ask me about it and I told them for the extra space it gives you its absolutely worth getting. I also got the accessory 3rd brake light since the bag blocks the high center mount light on my model miata.

Again a perfect piece of kit that worked flawlessly

Bonjour Liza,
Juste pour vous dire que j'ai recu le boot-bag deux jours avant de partir en vacances. Nous avons fait 1800km avec pas mal d'autoroute. Nous sommes très content du produit, il a pas bougé, j'ai juste amélioré avec des barrettes à cheveux pour que les sangles ne battent pas au vent. Il serait bien de prévoir des passants...J'ai rajouté aussi un film plastique pour protéger la carrosserie aux endroits ou passe les les sangles.
J'ai aussi fait passer la sangle du milieu dans le paroie du coffre pour éviter qu'elle glisse et c'est parfait.
Je vais mettre notre avis sur le forum français Mazda mx5 pour faire profiter de votre produit aux internautes.Hello Liza,
Just to tell you that I received the boot bag two days before going on vacation. We did 1800km with a lot of highway. We are very happy with the product, it hasn't budged, I just improved it with hair clips so that the straps don't flap
I will put our opinion on the French Mazda MX5 forum to share your product with Internet users.
cordially

The Revo-Rack. What a great piece of kit and I am so glad I made the purchase (despite initial worries).

It was so easy to fit, remove and store when not in use (fits perfectly in the boot of the F Type if it’s not too full). It completed the 800 mile round trip on Autoroutes at cruising speed (130kph) and country roads without a problem. Despite checking the suction cups at regular intervals it never actually needed topping up.

Finally, because we had the Revo-Rack, we were able to fill the somewhat limited space in the boot and various cubby holes with wine and other French goodies.

Would highly recommend.

Hello Liza,

The rack was well received and I was able to install it on my Alfa Romeo Spider with ease. Since the trunk lid on the Alfa is very flat, the suction cups have an excellent hold. You could hang a horse on it.

I am happy to enclose some photos. To further secure it, I attach a band to the middle upper suction cup, which goes through the gap in the trunk lid. If the suction cups should fail while driving, the rack cannot fall down.

A good product and it looks very good too!

Sincerely yours

Dear Liza,

Just to let you know that I'm really pleased with the Revo Rack. I would have preferred the PA version. but actually, with all the black trim on my car, the black one looks really good. I would say that this is a must for anyone who owns a coupe/cabriolet, given that the boot space is limited when the roof is inside it. This will now pretty much double my luggage allowance on my long trips to Italy, whenever that is allowed again! I'll send you some more pics from the top of the Gotthard Pass when I'm able to do so.

Kind regards,

Chris Cook. Satisfied customer.

Hi Anthony,

I eventually bought one of your boot bags but because the trip I originally bought it for was cancelled it sat unused in my garage for a year before last July I went on a Rally with my cousin and I finally needed it

It performed perfectly and despite having to drive through a couple of mega thunderstorms never leaked. The only suggestion I would make is that the shoulder strap could do with being a bit wider or having a pad to prevent it cutting into your shoulder when the bag is loaded.

Here are a few pictures of the bag on the back of the car during the rally.

Hi Antony,

Sorry for coming back to you so late….

But better late than never…as promised, please find attached a picture of the revo-rack in use….
It was hard for me to believe, but it really worked more than well – even on the Autobahn….

We drove from Frankfurt to Bologna via Milan and back via Munich – no problems at all. We followed your instructions – had a look at it all once in a while … only one time we had to press two of the “buttons” to refix the rack after around 4h drive…. All good.

Astonishing!!!!!

Thank you and stay healthy in these wired times!

Regards,

Petra

Hi Liza!

Attached you’ll find some photos. The rack fits perfect. A very hard test for the rack (and my new case) was my trip by car two weeks ago to the Netherlands, on the way back to Munich completely with heavy rain without a break. I had no problems, the rack doesn’t move at all. Great! (And the case was completely waterproof, great too!).

If you want to put one of these photos on your website, it is ok. Please inform me about this / send me the link and please blacken the license plate. Thank you!

Have a nice Friday and weekend – lovely greetings from sunny Munich!

Gentlemen

Attached is a picture of your (now mine) trunk rack that I just put on my 2008 Saturn Sky Redline today. I received it about a week ago. I live in Rodeo, CA. approximately 30 miles North-East of San Francisco. My Sky only has about 33,000 miles on it..... My Fiance' enjoys riding in the car so we plan to take it out more often on trips so the luggage rack will allow that to happen...........As long as those suction cups work like you say they will, I'll continue to love the new addition. I think it even enhances the looks of the car................

So far so good in Rodeo.

Bonjour

Je n'arrive pas à publier un avis….merci de bien vouloir le mettre en ligne:

Un ENORME 10/10 pour ce porte bagage….Je n'ai jamais vu un produit aussi EXCEPTIONNEL… Reçu sous 3 jours, dans un état irréprochable, une éfficacité inimaginable (2200 kms sur autoroute et petites routes)… vraiment je suis bleuffé...

Vous avez inventé un produit juste PARFAIT… J'ai une WESTFIELD et les ventouses tombent juste parfaitement sur le coffre… Je recommande vraiment ce produit.

Hello

I can not publish an opinion ... .thank you to put it online:

A HUGE 10/10 for this luggage rack ... .I have never seen a product as EXCEPTIONAL ... Received under 3 days, in an irreproachable state, an unimaginable efficiency (2200 kms on highway and small roads) ... really I am impressed ...

You invented a product just PERFECT ... I have a WESTFIELD and the suction cups just fall perfectly on the boot ... I really recommend this product.

I bought the Summer 142 a few years ago, never used it, and then FINALLY got around to using it for a holiday to Tahoe from SF. It performed beautifully, and I am really interested in how the engineering of this distributed the weight in such a way that the aluminium boot lid doesn't really suffer the effects of weight, or doesn't seem to have been damaged or warped. Mystifying to me !

But, I had a severe blowout, sidewalls were toast, and couldn't even use the goop to fix it, in lieu of no spare. I did do a 4000+ road trip on terrible roads with no mishaps, but this one got to me and I am spooked. I can efficiently pack the trunk, and wonder, to cure my anxiety:

Is there any chance you could make a rally style spare tire rack that would work for the F-Type? Not only curing potential blowout issues in remote spots, it would look super cool to boot! =) I understand there might be safety issues and testing, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask. Cheers!

Hi Anthony,

Sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner. The 4th cup arrived in time for me to install it and then leave on my California trip. The rack, as expected, fit and behaved perfectly over the last two weeks and the exactly 5858 kms. The warmest temperature it was put through was +40 degrees C (Palm Springs) and the lowest was -5 C (west of Lake Tahoe). The highest elevation was just over 11,000 feet (above Bishop, Ca) and the lowest was -258 feet in Death Valley. I went through blistering sun, torrential rain and even some snow and all the while the Revo Rack hung on perfectly. I experience only one of the four suction cups 'red-lining' on occasion but I was assured that 3 more were clinging on.

Thanks again for a wonderful product.

Cheers,

Hola Liza,

Ya recibí todo hace un tiempo correctamente.

El maletero del NC RC es complicado para instalar la baca debido a la curva que hace cerca del borde. Pero conseguí ajustarlo siguiendo vuestros consejos y fabricando unas pequeñas cuñas caseras de goma que evitan que fuerce tanto la chapa del maletero.

Saludos!!

Rafa

Hello Liza,

I already received everything a while ago correctly.

The trunk of the NC RC is complicated to install the rack due to the curve that makes near the edge. But I managed to adjust it by following your advice and the rubber wedges that prevent the boot lid from being forced so hard.

Regards!!

Originally purchased for my wife’s new 2018 Buick Cascada. We knew we’d need extra space and the product looked like the right solution. Bought it and did a test install and we’re very happy with the look, fit and function. Hadn’t had an actual need though until last weekend when we needed extra room for a weekend ski trip with my Camaro SS and we were like hey, maybe it would work there too? Guess what? Fit like a custom install and performed flawlessly. Got several nods of approval and inquires where we “had it made” when we pulled into the resort!

Hi Anthony

Here are a couple of shots from my recent road trip from Wiltshire to the Peak District - feel free to use them. My fiancée and I also just went to Salcombe and back with the bag and no problems at all.

We got properly wet and no leaks and the car was showing over 100mph and the bag never moved a millimetre. Struggling to see how it could be improved really maybe a little taller would be good but I could not fit the bigger bag you currently make as the $c is about 10mm too narrow !

We are trying to see if my lady can get enough of her stuff in it in order that we can do a European trip maybe next spring - bit of a challenge 🙂

cheers

Hello Lisa & Tony

We love our luggage rack !

We just completed our 11,200 km trip across Canada via the TransCanada hi-way, east to west and then back via the USA. We had a bag on the luggage rack which weighed 60lbs with our gear and clothes and stuff. Never a problem the never shifted 1mm and allowed us to bring all our gear on this awesome trip.

Thanks so much. Your rack was the envy of many other sports car travellers we met on the road. Attached a few pics of our trip feel free to use them.

Greetings Liza,

At last I have overcome my religious difficulty (am a devout "LAZY" ), and wish to send you this short email... we meandered around for a month visiting many rural areas of South Australia, Victoria and a little of New South Wales to return home last week with now 10,000kms on the same speedo, all with the boot-bag on RF.

We did stop most every night, and were able just to click 6 buckles and take BB into the motel room. In the morning we had an exacting regimen and were on the way within a few minutes, completely done us …. and not a screech/complaint from the boot-bag　

Overall a terrific holiday, made better by our association with your product. Fantastic !!!!

'Huge shoutout to the people across the pond at Revo-Rack. They didn’t pay me or anything to endorse them, but the rack is honestly the best possible solution for adding storage capacity to the world’s favorite roadster. It left no marks and I am sure it would work well on other vehicles too. At around $300 the rack seemed expensive at first, but it worked flawlessly and even kept all that camping gear rock steady into triple digit speeds at one point. Plus it’s something that I’ll continue to use in the future'

Bonjour Liza,L’installation s’est passée impeccable…à partir du moment ou j’ai lu les instructions. Je plaisante, mon Duster est bien assez grand !

Non, c’est la SLK qui pose des problèmes de chargement, mais là, avec 100 Litres de plus, ça va aller pour des ballades de quelques jours Je suis ravi de mon achat

Hello Liza,The installation was flawless ... from the moment I read the instructions.

I'm kidding, my Duster is big enough! No, it is the SLK that poses loading problems, but here, with 100 liters more, I can go for a few days I am delighted with my purchase

hi Liza

I bought a boot-bag this summer for the holiday trips with my Mazda MX5. I really have become a great fan of your product. Very easy to install and when not in use easy to store in the car. You just have to make sure that the boot is clean before putting the mat on and think a bit how you pack the bag (no objects in the bottom of the bag that can be pressed into the boot)

In my case I packed camping gear for two people into the boot-bag. I did try to operate the roof with the bag on but as it is so quick to install I just took it off when I wanted to close the roof. Also hardly any wind noise when fitted when the straps are properly tied. We had some rain on the way but everything stayed dry inside. I highly recommend the boot-bag for use with an MX5.

Kind Regards

Many thanks...I purchased the Revo-Rack for a Eurotrip in my Roadster Brabus. I drove the car from London to Iceland which I have been told no one had done in this type of car before. The trip was ( England,France,Belgium,Netherlands,Germany,Denmark) Ferry from Denmark to Iceland. The trip took several days but the rack held up beautifully all the way holding 20kg. Its a good product and better than expected though one cup started losing suction before the other two early in the trip it still held and I just pumped it up every time I stopped.

see attached pictures from the trip

hi I just wanted to let you know the boot-bag has been brilliant. I drove from Sussex to Bologna (1500KM) on 24/25 June and had zero problems. On the evening of the first day lost in Switzerland ( because the hotel had no address to enter into the Sat Nav ) a thunderstorm started. I have a hard top roof which is removable, and the rain was coming down with a force that worked its way through the roof in places. I thought there maybe a little dampness in the bag around the zip etc, but when I checked everything was as dry as a bone. Perfeckto 🙂

Thanks for a great product

hi Liza,

Here is one of the photos at Ulura/Ayres rock in the northern territory Australia.

We did 12,000 km in 6 weeks in all kind of conditions from a start up very cold and chilly -4 c when we left central NSW to a rather stuffy hot and humid 36 c in Kakadu Park Northern Territory plus the dusty dirt tracks of the outback central Australian roads.

Good news too as the boot bag never let us down at any time. We travelled in harsh conditions dust,rain,wind and best of all it held rock steady in the territories open speed limit of 220 kmph.

Just a line to let you know I used my Boot Bag for the first time this month on a trip away and would just like to say "What a fantastic product you have". It made my life so much easier having a convertible with a limited boot space where I can only transport my wheelchair. It was easy to attach and remove, also to be able to just put the shoulder strap on and be able to carry it off as a holdall was great. Once on the bag never moved, even travelling at speed on the motorway, the third brake light was good also as the bag covered the one on the car. I would recommend your product to anyone without hesitation with no signs of it being on the boot with the protective mat. Fantastic and congratulations on a well thought out product!!

Thank you, one very happy motorist,

Liza,

Just a quick email to let you know what an excellent product the Boot-Bag has proved to be. My wife and I drove nearly 1300 miles around France over half-term in our MX5, and the Boot-Bag was first class. We were staying in a variety of locations [almost a different one each night] and not only did the Boot-Bag provide plenty of extra capacity, but the webbing strap harnesses etc proved easy to attach/detach.

Along with the first class purchase/delivery process, we have been immensely impressed with your product.

Thank you very much

Hi Antony,

Just thought I would let you know how impressed I am with the boot-bag I bought from you a couple of years ago. It didn't get used the first year last year and this year it has worked really well for our trip to France, helping us to take enough gear for a month away at a house we are renovating, including camping for a few nights en-route. This year in both directions we encountered some really torrential rain - the sort which meant we could barely see the road in front of us with wipers on full speed not coping. Despite that, everything inside the bag remained completely dry. A great product which I highly recommend.

Cheers

I thought you might be interested to see the pictures of my 2014 Audi TT with the spring rack fitted that I purchased from you this week.

The rack was delivered promptly and assembled with ease, it looks great in the black and suits my car. It fitted in minutes and gives the car a sporty touring look.

I have loaded the rack with a waterproof bag which has a considerable amount of equipment packed in it for a weekend of camping, secured in place with two straps I have taken it for a test drive around some country roads and for a blast down a dual carriageway all is well and secure, thanks

Mark 13.6.14- UK

Dear Liza, we have now returned from France and the Boot-Bag was brilliant – thanks for getting it to me so quickly. First, it meant marital harmony when we packed the car! An Aston does not have a very generous boot and with the ability to put my case on the boot lid, my wife had the whole of the boot to herself – smiles all round. After the first trial the bag was very quick and easy to take on and off and after driving through a sustained and very heavy storm the contents of the bag were totally dry. While the car was not driven over 90 mph the bag was stable and never moved on the boot lid.

A great product and only wish I had found it sooner.

Regards, Mike 9.6.14 - UK

Hi, I recently bought a boot bag from you and there was a slip of paper included asking to send you pictures of them in use. I’ve now used the bag on a road trip across Europe to Italy and it performed admirably despite driving through torrential thunderstorms in Belgium and Switzerland there was only very modest water ingress inside. I’ve attached a picture of the car and bag I took while we were having lunch in Switzerland (on the Great St Bernard Pass) and the bag fits the car really well, securely fixed despite the bendy roads and top speeds on the Italian Autostrada. Lots of people we spoke to wanted to know all about it!

Thanks Nick Young 28.8.13 - UK

I thought I'd let you know that we have just returned from a 2,500 mile driving tour of Europe in our MX5 and found your Boot Bag to be really great for the journey! We have a fold-down hard top and found that by positioning your Boot bag correctly we could still drop the top with the bag in place.We took in the St Bernardino Pass heading to Lake Como in Italy, the Sustenpass going back into Switzerland and the Hahntennjoch Pass near Innsbruck in Austria - a real driver's holiday.

The Boot Bag was a great addition to our holiday and well worth it - we even had the space to bring back a good supply of excellent German Wines!

John Whalley 16.8.13 - UK

This ingenious product described as the luggage rack evolved is a great alternative to the many solutions offered to address the limited trunk space in cars like out little Miata's...I would be very happy using this to handle luggage on a trip. The product is well made does not appear to be any kind of risk to the finish on any car presuming you use common sense...After 60 miles on public roads I noticed only the expected loss of rearward vision. No movement or noise was evident on either the highways or the twisty roads...If you have been looking for a solution to more trunk space I highly recommend the boot-bag.

My name is Fred Taggerty, I recently purchased one of your boot bag vacations. I have travelled from Scotland to Turkey with it. It has done a fantastic job, been through rain and snow no problems at all, everything was clean and dry. Easy to remove and put back on at all the stops, just like a big holdall...great invention, my girlfriend would not have managed half her stuff (hairdryers, shoes, bags etc...) without it... feel free to use this email in your testimonials... All the best for the future.

Dear Liza and Antony, Thank you for producing such a worthwhile and honest product.

We bought the “Vacation” size for our Mazda MX-5 to help transport our expensive and reasonably delicate electronic items from Valencia to our new base in Tenerife. We read many reviews, and quite honestly the “Boot- Bag” is in my opinion unique as it performed faultlessly throughout our trip with absolutely Zero damage to, the car paintwork, any of our items, and no problem or fear of security of the “Bag” becoming dislodged whilst travelling. First day of use the “Boot-Bag” was subjected to a “Tropical Rainstorm” lasting over 5 hours. (This rain washed away parts of the motorway and destroyed buildings and bridges!!,).

The winds were of gale force. Thankfully the weather improved. We drove then at up to 200km/h and no problem or fear of dislodgement. A week later we arrived in Tenerife and upon opening the “Boot-Bag” were relieved, delighted and amazed that all of the contents were sound and dry (not even “sweated”) and all worked as they should.

Thanks' once again.

Hello Liza. Thought this might be of interest. Stayed on at up to 140mph fully laden with all of the stresses to the straps you’d imagine the ‘Ring’ would throw at it. Obviously haven’t put the speed on the write up to the club in case it becomes a challenge to others, but it worked very very well and for staying put? No problem, even on the Nurburgring Nordschleife which we popped into for a quick lap or two, the car remained completely loaded with the boot bag on the boot and it didn't move a muscle; certainly surprised and disappointed a gaggle of Porsche drivers (to be honest though I do know the track reasonably well after 12 years of 'popping by' so I did have an advantage.) Would definitely recommend it and use it again without hesitation.

Best thing is the ease of removing the bag itself and popping it onto the seats whilst in towns... just in-case a thief with a knife wanted to sample the contents; it takes seconds to remove and equally to reposition If you leave the straps in place when you've taken to off. Even then, to do the whole thing including repositioning the straps, say in the morning after a hotel stop, it is still only a few minutes. Well worth it; we sort of used it as a boot-case and took in to the hotels with us.
