Both the HandiHoldall 400L and HandiHoldall 175L have been designed to be completely waterproof. The HandiHoldall 330L is specified using a different type of fabric which is water resistant and will therefore only provide limited protection against heavy downpours. There are also concerns about the stitching on the straps. Some users have no problem at all and find the bag to be very secure. Others experienced breakages. Perhaps it all depends on the weight added to the bag and the amount of strain. The quality of materials, production processes and technical features allow the HandiHoldall to resist water ingress during typical and heavy wet weather driving conditions (subject to the manufacturer’s installation guidelines being correctly followed). Upon reaching the destination the HandiHoldall, once removed from the car, makes a useful and effective outdoor storage solution.Once the HandiHoldall 400 is in situ, it feels extremely sturdy though.
