Wandertec Cargo Net

Product Reviews

I purchased the BOB YAK Trailer from BikeTrailerShop.com about a year ago - and I am soooo glad I did! For starters, I was able to speak with a real live person on the phone about what my needs were. Second, there are no other places that make available the same complete list of necessary accessories for the BOB Trailer. I purchased the YAK, along with several accessories. The Wandertec items are top-quality and reasonalby priced. I feel sorry for people who buy their BOB Trailer elsewhere and never discover these useful items. I feel lucky to have stumbled upon BikeTrailerStore.com as I get more compliments and jealous looks from fellow riders and the occasional street-side gawker because of the extra items that make my trailer experience complete. The Cargo Net is just one of several items available through this site that make the BOB YAK a nearly perfect item. It's perfect for me in several capacities: for one, I use it for photography equipment that I don't want falling out. I also use it for grocery bags and laundry, too. No stopping and turning around to pick up items that fell off because of a bump or wind. Great invention. I also recommend the kickstand, the BOB big yellow sac (simply a must-have for laundry - even without the trailer!), the Wandertec flag light (even though I no longer use my flag as I feel that it is annoying and ugly - I only use it at night for safely issues where the light comes in handy - another thoughtful invention), Oh, you have to get the Big Apple tire. It costs more - but you can really load up the trailer and not worry about stress on this tire. I've gone up gravel trails on mountains with this thing and it never failed. Without seeming corney - I just want to add that I was very reluctant to spend so much money for something that was supposed to just be an accessory for my bike. It turned out to be a life-changing decision that has helped to create a healthy and environmentlly-friendly lifestyle. I now do my laudry at the laundromat via bike, I go shopping via bike, I go to college via bike, I even photograph via bike - even Large Format equipment with a tripod fits in this awesome contraption. I simply love this trailer!!! I just wish it was made in the USA. Why do American companies insist on outsourcing even simple and basic items? I'd happily pay more for an American-made item. That's my ONLY gripe. I love this cargo net. I used to have to have some kind of box or laundry basket in my BOB trailer to run errands. And sometimes even then my gear wasn't secure. With the cargo net, I can put the smallest to the largest items in the trailer, and the cargo net keeps them secure. Just returned from riding the Pacific Coast Trail.....White Rock, B.C. to Ensanada, Mexico....2,170 miles in 43 days. I was riding a Cannondale T800 and pulling a Bob Ibex with the additional cargo net. The net was great. After packing all the camping gear into the Dry Sak and loading it into the Bob I was able to stuff all sorts of extra items under the cargo net......spare Bob tire, towels to dry, a pair of sandals, and a bag of food for easy access during the day. Wouldn't have been able to carry these items outside the Sak without the cargo net, and I didn't lose a thing during the trip!
