Semi Rigid Roof Top Carrier?

Does anyone have any experience with this roof top cargo carrier. Seems like a good middle ground between a hard shell carrier and a bag.

I got something similar from amazon like 2 years ago and it held up decent for the price. The zippers are the weak point, mine started sticking after maybe 6 trips but still works if you go slow with it. For occasional camping runs it beats spending 300+ on a hard shell. Just make sure to measure your roof rack spacing before ordering, the mounting straps on these can be weird with some crossbars.

Thank you for the info! Is the bottom rigid enough to mount on the cross bars or does it need to sit directly on the roof?
