Traded mostly because was "only" a Base trim, trunk annoyed me sometimes so I almost went back to Porsche if I hadn't found this R version I have now. The glass roof compensates a little but convertible is still my preference, makes more sense on a two seater.
Thank you for the reply. That’s the same company and looks like the same set. The Roadster Bag set for convertible is supposed to be different.

Do you mean the Jaguar F-Type luggage accessories set? Does the OEM Jaguar F-Type luggage set fit the convertible as well? Thnx.

Hey OP: The precise "bigger carry on" from away is what I have. It's relatively tight, but that single suitcase fits in my vert trunk. So you're good to go. Almost nothing else will fit, and if stuff is in the trunk or it's not situated perfectly, you'll see the trunk not fully closed, but perfectly placed it fits perfectly, with no issues. My other carry on backpack then sit in the passenger seat.

Also, I had the black and red OEM luggage set (ruined in storage by a broken pipe). The garment bag is pretty amazing. And you can pack it full and smoosh it into the forward part of the boot.
But if you are using all of it, the med/dob kit is fine, the laptop briefcase is pretty useless, and the two main bag components start failing / fraying after one or two big road trips as you really have to jam them in there if they're packed tight and full. I had anxiety in knowing I would have to take time to pack from destination to destination. LOL

I'm still looking for the perfect set, and the Glad bags are groovy but not for nice hotel stays! LOL

I've started venturing into travel / packing cubes. They seem like the way to go.

Thank you so much for confirming! I wish the trunk was slightly larger but at least it is good to know I can drive myself to the airport with the bigger away carry-on

The Jag luggage came out when the vert was the only model and is designed for it .It goes in one way to fit all pieces. It would just need to be put in the the coupe any way you want to.

Default Pro-Line Travel Bags or Roadsterbag?

I'm looking to luggage for my 2017 F-Type SVR Convertible to maximize the very limited luggage space. From what I've been able to find, there seems to be a couple of bespoke luggage sets available. One is the 3 piece Pro-Line that I found at Cabriosupply.com (more dufflebag style and the large one has wheels which might be handy) for $416 USD. The other is the Roadsterbag set comprising 4 "leather" bags for $879 USD. Double the cost and they look a little odd in shape but might provide the maximum luggage space.
I'm wondering if anyone has experience with either and how you rate them? One thing that is skinny for both is reviews!
Third option is to hunt down individual bags with the right dimensions or simply fill the trunk/boot with packing cubes and have a large soft dufflebag to shove them all in when arriving at the destination!!
Any thoughts, comments, information or advice is much appreciated!

My wife fitted a CASE of wine one summer on a vacation to the NY wine country in the Finger Lakes.
Just the bottles, not the boxes they came in!

@Carbuff2 now you've opened a whole new can of worms for me! Here I was worrying about how to fit half my wife's walk-in closet in the car and completely overlooked the need for the wine 🍷🥂!!

Sorry I can't be of help with the luggage question but I can definitively say that you can easily fit two 1/6 logs of beer in the trunk of a convertible F-type.

That's excellent to know and I see there is enough room for the beer tap and a couple of pint glasses too!! I wouldn't want to overload the space but could see maybe one bottle of wine for the misses too! 🥂🍻🤣

If you can still find it, there is a custom 5-piece set of luggage for the F-Type, including a 24" suitcase, 20" suitcase, briefcase, garment bag and wash bag. The bags, themselves are nylon with leather trim. The set is fine for the car, but I'm not sure it would hold up well for air travel. They all fit (with care) into a 'vert trunk, but you wouldn't want to over-pack the bags, and the garment bag is quite thin in size. My dear wife got it for me shortly after I bought the car, so I've been using it almost 10 years.
As I recall, it was about $500.

@uncheel Thank you. In my scouring of the internet this is not a set I have come across yet but will look further. I like the wheelie bag option this has! Do you know is this is a genuine Jaguar item or from a 3rd party seller using Jaguar badging?

Updating my initial reply!
As easy as that I manage to find the set:

Much appreciated!

I found it at JaguarUSA for $619. Previously, it would show up on e-Bay for less, but I didn't immediately see any at the moment.
