"On behalf of Expert Village, my name is David and I am here to tell you about ATV's and accessories that go with them. Along with the soft bags and boxes we talked about before, we have the hard cargo boxes. This particular one is a lock and ride unit made specifically for Polaris but other similar boxes are available for other machines. Nice part about these are they are hard. They are nice and solid and hold their shape. This particular unit is a quick install and quick remove. Done. Ready to go. Again with the hard cargo box, you have a few options. You don't have to worry about the bag slipping, smashing down. Also this particular unit is water tight. You can use it as an ice chest. May be not as well insulated as an Igloo but it sure rides nice. We have some soft bags also. It is another choice. Nice part about a soft bag when you are not using them, you can pack them down and get them out of your way. This particular one is stuffed full of stuff and it's holding up pretty good. This is available in various color. This one has a number of nice features. These features have a water proof bag maybe for a little bit of lunch, maybe for a few drinks. This particular unit is nice and has some magnetic closures that kind of holds things tight. It is not dust proof but keeps most of it out. Various compartments, movable parts. You can set in whatever you need, use whatever length you need and keep everything separate. Tie downs for coats. This one is pretty useful. This particular one it has a number of straps here and what you do is again every ATV is going to be different where to tie things to. Find a convenient place to tie down, hook it in, put your straights tight, cinch it down and that will hold it. When you are done, undo the clips, take it off, take these things out of the sun when you are not using them. They will last a lot longer. "
