Product Description
Flexible, collapsible and lightweight, Armadillo Bag utility bladders are expedition-ready reservoirs designed for the safe transport and temporary storage of liquid hydrocarbon products and other powersports and automotive fluids. They are available in 1, 2, 3 and 5 gallon sizes.
Developed in collaboration with start-up brand Armadillo Bag and adventure-proof packing systems and gear company Giant Loop, these super rugged, lightweight, collapsible Armadillo Bag Liquid Power Reservoirs bring added convenience to international overland travelers, off-road racers and powersports enthusiasts across the globe.
Named after the tough desert-dwelling armadillo (Spanish for little armored one) that rolls into a ball to defend itself, expedition-ready Armadillo Bags are engineered for the safe, temporary storage and transport of a broad range of essential automotive and powersports fluids. When empty, they can be rolled up or packed flat for convenient storage, and they weigh a fraction of rigid plastic or 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 each bag to prevent it from sliding out from under tie-down straps. The included plastic pour spout conveniently stows 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 used, the materials are compatible with hydrocarbon fuels such as gasoline, diesel, kerosene and jet fuel, 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.
After the fluid is dispersed, the Armadillo Bag can be collapsed, rolled up and stored in compact areas like backpacks, rack bags or under a vehicle seat.
Rolled, empty diameters measure approximately: 2.5" for the 1 gallon, 3" for the 2 gallon, 3.5" for the 3 gallon and 4" for the 5 gallon.
Weights: the 1 gallon Armadillo Bag weighs just 13 ounces; the 2 gallon is 1 pound; the 3 gallon is 1.25 pounds; and the 5 gallon is 1.5 pounds.
Flat, filled dimensions:
• 1 gallon: 10" wide x 16.5" long x 3" tall
• 2 gallon: 12" wide x 20.5" long x 4" tall
• 3 gallon: 13.25" wide x 24.5" long x 5" tall
• 5 gallon: 15" wide x 29.75" long x 6" tallDaisy chain loops on the bags allow them to be attached almost anywhere, including backpacks, utility racks, snowmobile and snowbike tunnels, and UTV beds. Armadillo Bags will not tip and spill like traditional hard containers.
The significant weight and space savings over rigid fuel containers are key advantages of the Armadillo Bag system.
