html>Ogio International - never heard of 'em? They've been around for more than a dozen years and make everything from golf bags to the new, super-sized ar:9800 gear bag. The ar series is Ogio's new line-up of gear bags that range in size from a 450 cubic inch back-pack to the above-mentioned 9800 wheeled gear bag. The ar:6700 is the little brother of the 9800 and gives you 6700 cubic inches of capacity, multiple fleece-lined goggle pockets, specified boot storage, special compartment for a full set of tools, water-resistant tarpaulin base, double reinforced stitching on the seams and the heaviest of heavy duty hardware on the zippers and multiple carrying straps. I packed up the ar:6700 and headed north to Quebec, Canada for a few days of trail riding. We arrived to find conditions anything but ideal for riding - 40-degree temperatures and a steady rain. We couldn't change our plans however, and proceeded to take on Mother Nature. Each rider had to carry his own gear on their ATV for the overnight campout in the Canadian Wild and I chose to take along Ogio's 6700. Some riders had two bags and others left things behind because they couldn't fit everything in one gear bag. Luckily, the 6700 is large enough to hold several days' worth of clothes and all my necessary riding gear. Off we went, into the rain, through rivers, mud, and over logs. The heavy duty rings, handles and straps on this bag made tying it down on the ATV rack simple. After six hours and 35 miles of some of the toughest trail riding imaginable, we made it to our campsite a little tired and very wet. I had expected to sit in wet clothes for the rest of the day, but when I upacked the 6700, I was surprised to find most of the clothes were bone dry. There was a little dampness on some pieces of clothing, but after six hours of sitting in the pounding rain and getting blasted with mud all day, the 6700 provided exceptional protection from the elements..... "Whatever qualifies as 'your gear,' this bag has a compartment for," Says VP of Special Ops Jon Jones. "The ar:6700 like the rest of the ar:series, was designed by some of today's top riders, so anything and everything needed in an equipment bag is there."

The main compartment holds your helmet and several days' worth of clothes - the 6700 is perfect for those overnight rides.

The ar:6700 can accommodate anyone from the most serious professionals to the weekend warriors. The ar:6700 is the multipurpose duffel that can be used for anything under the sun. And with its waterproof, double-tough construction - it's just as good even when there's no sun in sight. There's no doubt the OGIO ar:6700 is larger, more durable and loaded with more features than any other gear bag in its class. But the best part of all is that it will come with a lifetime warranty and a suggested retail price of only $109.99. The bag will be distributed through motorcycle shops and sporting good stores across the U.S., Canada and Europe. The 6700 comes in Red(shown here), Blue and Black.
