Other Storage & Racks
About Other Storage & Racks
Hydration packs, cooler bags, trail bags and gun cases make up most of this section. These are carry-along items: things you load before a ride, take out at the stop and bring home again, rather than hardware that stays bolted to the machine.
Coolers are labeled by how many cans they hold, with 12, 36 and 48 pack sizes and outside measurements given, so measure the space on your rack or in your bed first. Hydration packs are sold by capacity in liters, 3 liters being a common size here, and the drinking tube has its own insulator in some listings. Gun cases for UTVs should be compared against the length of your firearm. The Can-Am LinQ anchor mounting kit is the one item here that attaches to the machine, and it is meant for that brand's quick-attach system.
Brands in this category include EVS, Warn, Deuter, All Balls and USWE. For storage that bolts on, see Trunk & Cargo Boxes. The main group is Storage & Racks. If you are checking whether a part suits your machine, this fitment guide explains what to look for.
FAQs on UTV and ATV gear bags and cases
What size cooler will fit my UTV or ATV?
Measure the space where it will ride, whether that is a rack, a bed or behind the seat, and compare it with the outside dimensions in the listing. Cooler listings are labeled by the number of cans they hold. Strap the cooler down so it cannot slide, because a full one is heavy.
How much water should a hydration pack hold?
It depends on ride length, heat and how often you can refill. Hydration packs are listed by reservoir capacity in liters, and 3 liters is a common size for a day ride. Pick a larger reservoir for long, hot rides far from water, and a smaller one if weight on your back matters.
How do I clean a hydration pack?
Empty it after each ride, rinse the reservoir and tube with warm water and mild soap, then rinse again. Hang it open so everything dries fully before storage, which helps stop mold. Follow the maker's care instructions, since some packs do not allow hot water or harsh cleaners.
Why would I need a drinking tube insulator?
In cold weather the thin drinking tube is usually the first part of a hydration pack to freeze, and an insulator sleeve slows that down. Blowing the water in the tube back into the reservoir after each drink also helps. Check that the insulator is made for your pack's tube.
How should I carry a rifle or shotgun on a UTV or ATV?
Use a case or mount made for the purpose, keep the firearm unloaded, and secure the case so it cannot shift or fall. Compare the case size with the length of your firearm, and follow local rules on transporting firearms in or on a vehicle.
