Video Transcript for Review of ARB Car Roof Bag - Stormproof Rooftop Cargo Bag 110 Liters - ARB96QJ

Hi, everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look at this ARB Storm-Proof Rooftop Cargo Bag. Now, this water-resistant duffle bag is going to do a great job of protecting your gear from rain, dust, and off-road debris. This is gonna be perfect for use right on top of your cargo carrier, your platform rack, or your roof rack. And I'm gonna give you an overhead view here just to show you that this does have this really nice wide-mouth opening here at the top of the bag. That's going to make it extremely easy to pack away your bulky gear.

And so you can see just the kind of room that you have in there. And hopefully, it's not too dark in there, but we also have these internal mesh zippered pockets for smaller items that you can safely stow away. So you've got one on each side on the interior of the bag. And then there's this insert here. Let me just take this out here real quick.

Pop this out here real quick. That's going to. It's removable, but this is going to make the bottom of the bag flatter. And so that's kind of made of a plastic PVC-type material. So that's going to give you support in the base of this really large bag.

Now, just to give you an idea of how this is going to close, this is going to roll down and then fastened by a few different means. So what I'm gonna do here is I'm just going to roll this down like so, and then I'm going to connect our hook-and-loop strips just like that. And so that's going to seal this roll that I made here. And then I'm just going to then buckle, secure the buckles here on the side, and then secure the buckles that are gonna go over top. And so this is going to keep out dirt and moisture, and it's gonna...

Obviously it's storm-proof and water-resistant, so you're not gonna have to worry about zippers that could easily leak, or jam, or break. Your items are going to be safe inside, safe from the elements inside. So very easy to close, and it's going to be very easy to open as well. So I'm just gonna go ahead and undo the buckles here over top and on the side, and then. (hook-and-loop strip scratching) disconnect our hook-and-loop strips. (hook-and-loop strip scratching) And then that's going to allow us to get back in the bag just like that. Now, this is the large bag from ARB, and the capacity of this bag is 110 liters. And we do have other sizes of this bag available. Other smaller sizes. We have a medium-sized bag and a smaller-sized bag, but this is the largest one. And so you're gonna be able to hold quite a bit of cargo in this bag. And let me give you a closer view. I wanted to show you a few things close up here. This does feature an external mesh pocket here on the front. And this one is secured with hook-and-loop strips. So I'm just going to open this up real quick just to show you. So the hook-and-loop strips are very secure. So you've got that external pocket there for smaller items and you're not gonna have to worry about that strip coming undone. Feels very secure. And then also the sewn-on gear loops are right here along the front. You got several loops here. That'd be great for like carabiners and things like that. And then turning this around here, you've got more of those loops right here. So several of those looks like you've got, if I'm counting correctly, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight of those loops on either side. And then you have these D-rings as well. So let me bring that in closer up so you can see. So these D-rings are gonna be great, maybe to help you secure the bag or put other gear on there. So we got D-rings on what I'm calling the back of the bag. And then we got two more D-rings here in the front. So several ways to secure this bag, several ways to secure other smaller items as well to secure it to the bag itself. These do have handles here. So we've got a hook-and-loop enclosure that you can use to put the handles together and then easily transport this just like that. And then, of course, the padded shoulder strap. That's going to be fully adjustable. It's going to make transporting this easier, especially when you have this loaded down. (hook-and-loop strip scratching) And then even on the sides here, you have these handles on either side. So if this is extremely heavy, you're gonna be able to. I could see maybe carrying this in between two people. One person grab this end and another person grabbed the handle on this end. So several different ways to transport this. It's a nice comfortable handle. Now, the bag itself is constructed of durable polyurethane-coated Oxford weave fabric. So again, this is a storm-proof bag, it is water-resistant. And at the base of this bag, let me bring this up there. There's a PVC coating that's going to protect it from wet or muddy ground. So you see that there on the base. So this is going to do a great job of standing up against the elements. Again, it's going to do a great job of keeping your cargo inside safe from the elements. And the overall size of this bag, just to kind of give you an idea of the size, the overall length, we're sitting at about 35 and 3/8 inches long. And then the overall width or the height, we're sitting at about 15 and 3/4 inches wide. As I mentioned, we do have other sizes available, so if this bag ticks all the boxes for you but maybe it's too big, you're looking for something smaller, we definitely have those options from ARB here at etrailer.com. Well, I think that's going to wrap up our look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
