Best all around Tunnel bags

Quicksand · Dec 14, 2018

What's everyone's vote for tunnel bags, I have the Burandt bags on our sleds, small and large and I'm not impressed with them. There's not much room in them, even the larger one. I wish they had zipper pockets on the inside also to keep things separate.

I've heard the previous model BCA bags are nice but not available anymore

First days with my new version of the bca bag.

Like it so far. I attached it with lock and ride clips.

Ditched the stretchy net on the inside. And fasted the 4 supplied mounting straps and buckles into the interior to strap stuff down inside.

Trying the BCA bag as well this year. I like the netting on the inside, as well as the waterproof compartments and exterior shovel compartment.

My bad. Didn't realize this was in the polaris section

Just to chime in, (I have cat not Polaris), I had the Mountain Addiction bags, Was not impressed with them, over priced, Zippers would rip. shovel storage sucked.
Now running the cats 2018 bag, i like it, find it small but more user friendly.

I have the mountain addiction one.
Nothing to get excited about really.

Cat makes a nice brand nutural one.

I did the same, the lock and ride clips make it a breeze to take on and off, though you have to move a couple of things to get at them. Its nice to bring it inside after riding all day and thaw it out.

I wasn't worried about the stuff inside moving as I stuff the internal pockets full. Then there is room still for a mid layer, couple of drinks, another probe, couple of odds and ends.

Personally I believe the new BCA bag is nicer than the old one. It has already been more durable as the first one I had ripped inside within the first few rides, and is more weather resistant.

The one downside to pelican cases are the inability to mount a shovel to the outside of them for those who want to use a shovel for clearing out sleds and even in searching situations where you would normally take off your avy bag to get access to a shovel but then you have removed your back up plan and avy vests that have the transceiver in the pocket.

My burandt bag is still going strong. Had it two years now.
Im able to pack a tool kit (plastic ammo box), tow strap, extra gloves and a few teas/gatorades. Plus I can still fit my sweater in it, and I keep an extra shovel between the hard shell and the soft part.
Much easier than ripping the vest off everytime.

I just bought the mountain addiction rails and large can. I have seen a few posts about the cans falling off. Are these the small cans falling off ? Because mine is rock solid and can barely get the damn thing off the rails to use it. Secondly, I mounted this one on my Cat and want to mount a set of rails on my RMK to go back and forth. What are guys using for the rail mount ? Are u through bolting these, Can’t see the T slot working here

Give it awhile. It will fall off, the fuel will expand and pops it off the rails. I used t slots on my Polaris.
