Durable Construction Detail

All FLATED® products are made with durable drop-stitch fabric which allows a product to maintain its shape when it is inflated to high pressure. With tens of thousands of tough polyester threads, drop-stitch fabric allows for flat surfaces that can be inflated to rock-hard rigidity. Hard-shell performance meets easy transportation and storage. Sidewalls use PVC layers specifically manufactured for superior air holding. Unlike typical PVC tarpaulin, the specialized sidewall material features internal fibers coated in liquid PVC before incorporation with the outer PVC layer, making the layers more durable and resilient than ever before.

EASY TO INSTALL

The Flated rooftop Air-Carrier has two mounting options: built-in straps for vehicles with cross bars or the included straps that go through the side D-rings and through your doors. Look in the Tip Jar for the HOW TO videos on attaching your Air-Carrier to the roof of your vehicle.

MAXIMIZED STORAGE

With over 20 cubic feet of storage, the Air-Carrier is one of the largest rooftop cargo carriers in its class, but no other brand’s carrier can deflate and roll into a bag. Access your gear from either side of your vehicle with the simple side zipper system.

STORES IN A SMALL BAG

The Air-Carrier deflates, rolls up, and stores in the included Flated bag. The small storage bag means you have more room in your garage or closet. Take your Air-Carrier on your next flight and attach it to your rental car to make a compact comfortable for the whole family.

THE AIR-CHALET

The Air-Chalet is a simple solution for the little issues that to often keep their furry hearts at home. Strong and stiff to absorb the unfortunate hits that sometime take place during travel.

I have not had a chance to use it yet. We did blow it up in our carport and put it on the roof of my mini van to try it out. We have to get a roof rack. We will not be using it until July. We needed an extra zipper pull and the service was great. It came in the mail in a few days.

Truth is concept is great, pricing definitely not as good. You can buy a plastic one for hundreds less.

Best idea ever. I kept putting off buying a top rack for our Expedition. So found you on accident on REI site but when I called my local store they didn’t know what I was talking about so I reached out directly and glad I did! Found out this was a startup and I love startups done a few myself. Love the idea of these Air-Carriers I tell everyone about them and everyone says the same thing Genius Idea for a new style of cargo car rack! So glad I found Flated on accident!!! Can’t wait to try my Sport Air-Carriers on my Mini Jet Boat and Wakesurf Boat this summer!!!

I was pretty sure I was done with Rocket Boxes. The last one I owned sat behind my garage long enough that it became habitat for local rodents. I’m always changing up my rack for the season and the activity and having a rocket box always on top was a hassle but constantly taking it on and off is a pain. When I discovered the Air Carrier it seemed like the perfect solution and I have to say…it is! The air carrier pumps up and installs in minutes. I recently went on a ski road trip with the whole family and had 5 pairs of skis in the air carrier. It performed great and when I got home I got it back in my garage just as easily. Well done Flated!

It’s summer and road trip time with our two 50lb dogs! We needed more space for the dogs to stretch out and relax on our trip and were in search of a roof carrier. We didn’t have space to store a hard carrier so we got “flated”! Inflates in about a minute, light weight for one person lift, quick and easy install! Loaded it up with 2 sets of golf clubs, 2 suitcases, and dog toys. We set out on a 10 hour trip to MS from Fl and loved it. The drop in gas mileage was minor if any. Experienced heavy rain for a hour and all items remained dry. Easily deflates and folds up nicely in storage bag to put on the shelf for next use! Great product.

While preparing for our 1800 mile trip from Arizona to Georgia, we knew we were going to need more space for what we had to bring with us. A family member recommended the Air-Carrier by Flated. This baby came in a nice little package with all of the accessories needed to inflate it and cinch it to my roof rack. From the moment I opened the bag, it took about 10 minutes to inflate and attach, before we were loading it up. We were able to get two large and one medium suitcase in this “Medium” sized carrier, and still had room to put additional smaller items on and around them. We were quite surprised how much would fit in this. Travel with the Air-Carrier was a breeze. We never even knew it was up there and it didn’t make any noise at all the whole trip. Having zippers that lock allowed us to sleep well knowing that our contents were secure all night. Typical cargo carriers take a lot of space to store when you are not using them for your road trip. With the Air-Carrier, we just unstrapped it from the rack, deflated it, put it back in the convenient carry case and slid it in a small corner of our storage closet. What a game changer!

So far everything I imagined.

I was in the market for a coffin and roof rack, but was frustrated because I didn’t want more junk to store on the side yard and it was tough to justify investing in a roof rack just for weekend trips. When I spotted this on the road I realized it could be the perfect solution for what I was looking for. Sure enough… We just finished our first road trip with it and couldn’t be more stoked! It fits an insane amount of gear, is easy to access, didn’t require racks, took 5 minutes to install, and easily fits in my storage closet once deflated. This thing is a game changer and I couldn’t recommend it enough!! 10/10 Quality & Design
