As an early rider of ATVs and an occasional dirt bike, when I set out on a day-long ride I was never concerned about carrying a lot of gear and grub.  Back then, it was all about just having the bare necessities.  Thirty years later and still an avid rider, I feel like  I am packing everything I own!  The phrase “Prepare for the worst” always stuck in my mind.

Tire repair kits, tools and more tools, snacks, beverages and whatever else I can squeeze into my ATV box.  That’s right – “box”.  I am a big proponent of the boxes  you see  on the back of utility ATVs.   The box sizes range from small to large with some being just simple tool boxes from the local hardware store.

Generally speaking, I never did like ATV bags.   It seems that no matter what type of bag I had tried, it failed at some point.  Unfortunately, if the straps and webbing that hold the ATV bag fail,  gear can be lost.  Given the high cost of some of these bags, that can not only be frustrating, but expensive.

I did notice that Ogio had an ATV bag they were marketing.  Since I knew they made quality golf and gym bags, I was wondering if their ATV bag was similar to all the other soft bags I was familiar with.   My curiosity got the best of me so I decided  to give the Ogio rear ATV bag a try.

Since this was going to compliment the New 2012 Kawasaki Brute Force 750i EPS and would definitely be utilized during hunting season for transporting to and from our tree stand,  we chose the bag in the Mossy Oak camo pattern.

When the Ogio bag arrived, I thought it was heavy for a soft bag.   Upon further inspection,  I noted how spacious the inner compartments were for a rear bag.   I was also impressed with the stitching and overall construction of the bag which was much better than most of the ATV bags I used in the past.  The Ogio rear ATV bag was very heavy-duty.

The specifications and features for Ogio’s Rear ATV bag are as follows:

·  Deluxe internal multiple compartment storage design with collapsible divider partitions

·  Top accessory pocket with water-resistant zipper

·  Dual insulated wet/dry compartments
