Armadillo Bag: COLLAPSIBLE UTILITY BLADDER FOR SNOWMOBILES..

Armadillo Bag® brings the convenience of super rugged, lightweight, collapsible Armadillo Bag® Expedition-Ready Liquid Power Reservoirs to international overland travelers, off-road racers and powersports enthusiasts across the globe. Giant Loop’s Armadillo Bags are available in 1-, 2-, 3- and 5-gallon capacities.

Named after the tough desert dwelling armadillo (Spanish for “little armoured one”) that rolls into a ball to defend itself, rugged expedition-ready Armadillo Bags are designed for the safe temporary storage and transport of a broad range of essential automotive and powersports fluids. When empty, Armadillo Bags can be rolled up or packed flat for convenient storage, and they weigh a fraction of rigid plastic and metal containers which remain the same size whether full or empty.

Employing a two-layer construction, Armadillo Bags feature an RF-welded inner bladder contained within and protected by a highly abrasion resistant sewn Cordura® outer sleeve. Webbing and rubber-molded handles provide easy anchors to hang the reservoirs while filling and installing the included pour spout, and to grip the bags while dispensing liquids. Webbing daisy chains run the length of Armadillo Bags to prevent them from sliding out from under tie-down straps. The included plastic pour spout conveniently stows away in a pocket on the outer sleeve.

Each inner reservoir is individually pressurized and tested at the factory, and finished Armadillo Bags are subjected to multi-point random testing and inspections. Although allowed usage depends on local laws, rules and regulations in the countries where Armadillo Bags are being used*, the materials themselves are compatible with hydrocarbon fuels, such as gasoline, diesel, kerosene and jet, as well as coolant, hydrocarbon based lubricants and other automotive and industrial fluids.

I have two the 2 gallon ones that I use on occasion during the summer on longer rides with our Pro R4. Works great, fits in a variety of areas because its not hard plastic and collapses down once its empty. The pour spout comes with it and fits right into a pocket and it has plenty of options for securing it down. The nylon outer shell is rugged and cleans up quick with the pressure washer too.

For off road use, it works great but I haven't carried fuel on the sleds for quite a while. Cool option though, if you do.
 
I have two favorite areas that are a pretty long trail ride to the good stuff.
The last time I rode to one I ran out, twice, on the way back to the truck.
It just happened to be about 15 below zero and strong winds while trying to siphon from my buddy's sled.
It was not very fun.
 
Website says this though:


Armadillo Bag is not a portable fuel container as described by ASTM, EPA, ARB or other state and federal agencies. Armadillo Bag is NOT intended for fuel storage, transport or use as a gas bag in the USA.
Yep just like mountain addiction and so many others.
