QuadBoss Ramps, Riding Skins, And Gear Bag - Thrashed

Ogio 9800 Gear Bag
"Made to move" is what the Ogio 9800's accompanying literature stated. "Hmm, I'll be the judge of that," I thought to myself. The last year at ATV Rider has turned me into something of a jet-setter-flying here and there to test this and that-not to mention constant local riding here in Southern California. I need a gear bag that can keep up, as well as haul all of my stinky gear ... and then some.

Avid readers of ATV Rider (that's you!) will remember my review of the AXO SemiTruck gear bag back in our February '07 issue. As much as I liked the bag, I have to say the Ogio (pronounced, "oh-JEE-oh") 9800 trumps it. The 9800's $169.99 MSRP may turn you off at first, but don't despair because this bag is one tough cookie and worth the expense. Nine color combinations are available, with styles ranging from mild to wild.

The 9800 can carry a lot of gear, but at 15 pounds empty you can easily load it beyond the 50-pound limit imposed by most airlines. Oversize, rubber wheels allows for smooth gliding, and my favorite feature is that the bag stands upright on its own-nice to have at a crowded ticket counter. A plastic underbelly and heavy-duty stitching allow the bag to take some punishment, whether it's dished out by disgruntled grounds crew at your least favorite airport, or by you yourself as you heave the 9800 into your pickup.
