Armadillo Bag™ brings the convenience of super rugged, lightweight, collapsible Armadillo Bag Liquid Power Reservoirs to the international automotive market, as well as military/government/NGO customers. 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 multipoint 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.*NOTE: Armadillo Bags are not portable fuel containers as described by ASTM, EPA, ARB or other state and federal agencies. Armadillo Bags are NOT intended for fuel storage or transport in the USA.

For years now, we have packed camping gear onto a dualsport motorcycle (i.e., street legal dirt bike) and taken multi-day tours through Oregon's high desert. Based on this experience, we developed a new concept in saddlebag luggage systems for demanding, off-road touring.Since launching GiantLoopMoto.com in Sept. 2008, we've generated steadily consistent sales throughout the U.S., as well as selling Giant Loop Saddlebags to motorcyclists in Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Bolivia, Costa Rica and Tanzania.We now have a growing network of USA dealers and international distributors. Our saddlebags and soft luggage designs hae now been featured in virtually every major motorcycle publication in the USA and our designs have been adventure tested on every continent except Antarctica (any takers?).
