ARB Stormproof Rooftop Cargo Bag - Water Resistant - 70 Liters

Video Transcript for Review of ARB Car Roof Bag - 70 Liter Stormproof Rooftop Cargo Bag - ARB36QJ

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look together at this ARB Stormproof Rooftop Cargo Bag. Now this waterproof resistant duffle bag is going to protect your gear from rain, dust, and road debris. This is going to be perfect to use on your cargo carrier, your platform rack or your roof rack. And this wide mouth opening on top of this bag is going to make it easy to pack your bulky gear. Let me give you an overhead view just so hopefully you can have a better look inside this bag.

You're gonna have a lot of space here. This has a capacity of 70 liters, so you're gonna have plenty of space in this medium-sized bag. And then let me go for another closeup view and I'm gonna come around the table here and see if I can show you that we do have inside pockets here. They're inside mesh pockets. So hopefully you can see that inside of there.

It is a little bit dark in there, so this is going to give you quite a bit of space. We've got a PVC-coated base there at the bottom. It's going to give it support in the bottom of this bag. And then when you have this loaded up and you're ready to close it, you're simply going to roll this down like so. And then this is going to seal right here with these hook and loop strips.

So you're gonna put those strips together just like that and give it a good seal. And then we have these buckles here on the sides right here and then on this side here and then around the top, find the other buckle here. So this is going to keep everything secure, it's going to keep the top of this bag sealed. And here's my last buckle here. Lemme straighten this out.

So it's gonna be just like that. So very easy to close up. And so this is going to be perfectly sealed and keep everything protected in there from dirt, dust, moisture. Again, this is a storm proof bag and I wanted to give you an idea of what this is going to look like with someone carrying it. So on the screen, I got my friend Dylan there with a few photos with him and you can see what this bag looks like when he's carrying this in front of him and then carrying it with the handles off to the side. So it's probably hard to get a perspective of this bag in comparison to a person with this on the table. So hopefully those pictures of Dylan there will kind of give you a better idea of the size of this bag in relation to you carrying it. Now this does feature external pockets as well. These are mesh pockets very similar to what we have on the inside. So this is going to be hook and loop fasteners on the outside pocket. So we have one there and then those internal pockets we inchesre zippers. So, but then you also have little loops here and find 'em right here. So you can put carabiners on here. These are like sewn in loops, so very durable, very rugged. So you can put your carabiners on there, like maybe have some keys or some tools or something like that that you can hook on these loops. So we have those loops on the front and then we have those loops here on the back as well, several of them. And then we have these D-rings here, two on this side and then two back here on the front. That's going to let you also attach other smaller gear and things like that. So you got quite a bit of flexibility with this bag. Quite a bit of opportunity to store not only your larger items but also smaller items as well, giving you that very convenient way to carry something, and then easily grab it from the external, the bag, the external side of the bag so you don't have to reach in for the inside of the bag. Now this is a very durable bag. It's made from polyurethane coated Oxford-weave fabric. So this is going to be water resistant. And the PVC coated portions of this bag is going to protect it from wet or muddy ground. You do have handles here on the side as well. So if you do have this loaded down and it's pretty heavy, maybe you can even carry this between two people. So handles on the side with really nice grips. I failed to mention that we do have these loop carrying handles here with a hook and loop grip to keep those handles together like that. So just an overall, a really nice bag that I think is going to give you a lot of use or gonna not have to worry about the contents being exposed to the elements. The welded and taped seams is also going to add to this not getting moisture in it or getting dust in it. So it's going to really hold up against the elements really well. Now just some overall measurements. It's kind of tricky to put a tape measure on something like this, but just to kind of give you an idea of the size here, obviously when this is empty, the overall length is gonna be right at about 26-3/4" long. And then the overall width, we're gonna be sitting at about 13-3/8" wide. Again, this is has a capacity of 70 liters, but we do have other bags from ARB that are different sizes as well, whether you're looking for a smaller bag or a larger bag, we do have those options available here as well. So if this is not the particular size that you're looking for and you're looking for another size, be sure to check out those other options. And the shoulder strap is also going to be included. It's padded and adjustable. Well, I think that's gonna wrap up our look today. I do hope our time together was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy, thank you for joining me.
