Works but overpriced
By Ramkumar Balaraman
Got this when I had to carry 2 semi-hard-shell suitcases on the roof of our Jeep Liberty for about 250mi from NY to boston. Used a tarp to wrap the suitcases rather than get a separate cargo bag. Used ratcheting straps hooked to the roof rails to hold the suitcases firmly against the roof. A corner of the tarp that was loose and flapping was tattered by the time we got home but it did protect the suitcases and was way cheaper than a cargo bag. I did debate putting the suitcases on cross-bars on the roof rather than directly on the roof, but the former would have given much greater wind resistance.

The mat held up well and there was not a single scratch to the roof of the car. Having said that, however, this was very similar in construction to the rubber shelf liners you get at wal-mart for much, much cheaper. You could get a pretty wide roll for less than half the price of this, fold it into 2 layers for greater protection, and still have a lot of the roll left over to line up shelves at home.

I admit to not knowing what to expect, but this just felt too overpriced for what I got. 1/8-inch thickness isn't exactly what I would call 'super thick' either.

Roof mat
By Kristina L. Beall
UPDATE:7/10/09 To anyone that wants to know this goes under the roof bag to keep it from sliding and scratching your roof. The bag we bought had no padding under it this was perfect. It is made out of the stuff you use in your camper or in the cabinets to keep things from moving around. It is of course is much thicker. I was very pleased with it and would buy again if I ever needed one.

Works Well
By Charles Evans
UPDATE - Try not to let the mat or your roof become wet prior to loading. The Sherpak becomes icy slick on your roof once it becomes wet!


The Sherpak SuperMat Roof Mat serves several purposes

1- It acts as a barrier to keep your roof from being scratched
2- It provides an *Anti-Slide* surface for your cargo bag/carrier - PLEASE NOTE - this mat becomes very slick if it becomes wet!
3- It helps to reduce (or eliminate) the possibility of wind getting underneath your cargo bag. This helps increase the safety and provide a modest improvement in gas mileage.

I am happy to report that the "SuperMat" preforms well in all of these categories. It is easy to put down... easy to store (Although it does have a strong odor when it is first purchased) and works as advertised.

Is it a bit expensive at the listed price. Well maybe... but it is not prohibitively expensive and it works. For me that makes it well worth the money!
