Spare-Mounted Rucksack: Blue Ridge Overland’s Tire Storage Bag

Look out Trasharoo, there is a new sheriff in town. Blue Ridge Overland Gear has done it again with their new Tire Storage Bag XL.

Made fully from rugged vinyl-coated polyester truck tarp— the same kind that truckers use to protect shipped goods —and load-bearing rated mil-spec MOLLE webbing, this bag is built like a brick-house.  Past iterations of the tire storage bag were modeled specifically around being trash bags, but as they become popular it was clear that these bags were great storage options for messy or loose items that you did not want in the cab of your vehicle. BROG built upon this fact and built their XL Bag around the idea of strength, durability and usability.

The whole bag is separate from the mounting straps, and can be quickly detached to take by hand to whatever destination you have in mind, and then easily re-attached to the vehicle without undoing the whole system. Mesh pockets on the three exterior sides can accommodate small items and it has a velcro panel for identification tags or morale patches. The biggest takeaway is the truck tarp construction, which means more endurance, highly resistant to fade (no more purple-previously-black bags) with an increase of water resistance, and at 10x20x30, it is a substantial upgrade over the current market.

Reasonably priced at $159, plus shipping, and handmade in the USA. Get yours directly from Blue Ridge here.
