Video Transcript for Review of ARB Car Roof Bag - Stormproof Rooftop Cargo Bag 50 Liters - ARB56QJ

Hi everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look together at this ARB Stormproof rooftop cargo bag. Now this water-resistant duffle bag is going to do a great job of protecting your gear from rain, dust, and road debris. This is going to be perfect to use on your cargo carrier, your platform rack, or roof rack. And the wide mouth opening on the top of this bag is going to make it very easy to pack your bulky gear.

And let me give you a better view of this by giving you an overhead shot. Now it is a little bit dark in there, but I just kind of wanna give you an idea of just how wide the top is here and what type of space you're gonna have in here. So this has a capacity of 50 liters. And then going back to our wide view here, I just wanna stick my arm in there just to kind of give you an idea of how deep this is. So you're going to have a lot of room in here.

This is considered one of ARB's smaller bags, but even with the smaller size, like I said, you get about 50 liters of capacity, so you're gonna get a lot of space. It might be hard to see, but you do have these interior mesh zippered pockets. It's going to be great for stashing gear so you can more easily get to it. So you have two of those pockets. Let me open this back up here again.

And I'm gonna actually flip this over, give you a front facing view here. And again, you can hopefully see those mesh pockets there on either side. So let me show you how to close this. This is gonna be very simple. You're not gonna use the zipper to close this.

You're just simply going to roll this down. So once you have everything in here that you need to stow, you just begin rolling this down. And then you wanna make contact with these hook and loop strips. So you'll bring those hook and loop strips together just like that. And then you're going to use these side buckles on either side, just like that and just like that. And then we've got these buckles here that come over the top. So you're not gonna have to worry about a zipper that could possibly leak or jam or break. And this is going to do a great job of protecting the items that you have in this bag from the weather, from the elements. You're not gonna have to worry about moisture getting in this. And then you got these handles here with the hook and loop padded enclosure here. So you can easily carry this. Now, just to give you a better perspective of what this bag is gonna look like when you carry, I've got a few pictures of my buddy Dylan there on the screen there showing you what this is going to look like using the included shoulder strap. And then just using the loops, the handle loops on carrying this and kind of gives you an idea of what this is going to look like with some stuff in it and as you're carrying it. And as we mentioned, the internal zipper pockets. This does also have some external mesh pocket here that has a hook and loop closure. So you can throw some items in there for easy access. But I also wanted to point out that we do have these sewn-on gear loops as well. And this is going to make it very easy to maybe put some carabiners on there with some gear, some Allen keys or something like that. So you've got those durable sewn-in loops on the front and the back of this bag. So that's a nice addition along with these D-rings that are sewn in. You got two on each side. So you got quite a bit of flexibility here to attach things to this bag that will give you easy, convenient access to, so you don't have to go rooting around through this bag or through some pockets. So that, again, nice addition that this bag does include. This is a very durable bag, very strong. It is constructed of a polyurethane-coated Oxford weave fabric. So again, that is going to add to its water resistance, it's weather resistance. The PVC coated parts of this bag are going to keep this from getting wet or getting muddy. It's gonna be very easy to clean off. You're not gonna have to worry about moisture soaking in through this bag. There's an insert at the base of this bag that provides a nice flat surface. So hopefully you can see that there. It's a insert that's removable that's adds a little bit of structure to the base of this bag as well. This has welded and taped seams to keep out dust and moisture. And just to give you some overall measurements, the overall length from end to end is about 23 1/4 inches long. The overall width, we're sitting about 12 5/8 inches wide. And again, this does have a capacity of 50 liters, of carrying about 50 liters. But we do have other sizes of this bag from ARB available here at etrailer.com. So if you're looking for more of a medium-size bag or a larger-size bag, we do have those options available here at etrailer.com. So be sure to check that out. This shoulder strap is padded and fully adjustable as well. Well, I think that's going to wrap up our look today. I do hope that the information was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy.
