Default Which ATV Bag is the best?

This was the question I had and hear from a lot of my buddies. I have a 05’ Yamaha Kodiak and am an avid hunter, fisherman, and general outdoorsman. A few years back I was looking for a quality ATV rear rack bag. Make a long story short, I bought one that fell apart almost immediately. So a buddy and I decided to create our own. Some of the cooler features are an integrated strap system, an internal weight bearing aluminum frame, and an exterior MOLLE system for accessory bags and utility holders. We call it the Quartermaster. We have produced several prototypes and we are about to start manufacturing them. What I would like is your help in scrutinizing it. Tell me what you would want if you were to “build” an ATV bag from scratch. Some of the accessories we are working on are an internal cooler that self-drains, different saddlebags with cup holders and a small cooler, a bag that can be attached to the back with an ATV cover attached to the inside so you can just pull and it comes out the right way. If you would like to see the bag we are working on and give further feedback you can go to www.grfreak.com or Gear Freak | Indiegogo. Thanks everyone.

I go on 5 day camping trips where everything has to do on the ATV. I just used a large hockey bag and bungee strap it on the back rack. Everthing fits in it but its the big one the goaltenders use.
Here some photos, we go to lakes that fly in fishing only.

That looks pretty slick man. Looks like you might be up in Canada. Yeah I got an ATV bag a while back and the stupid thing broke immediately. They were also too damn small. So I had one made, and after a bunch of people were asking me where to get one, I thought I might try to get some made. But if I am going to do it, I want to do it right. So the one we made is huge, over 5000 cubic inches, and the nice thing is that with the frame, you can still pack stuff on top. If you get a second check out the video. The frame is holding a Yamaha 450 ATV with my co-owner Casey sitting on top. I won't tell you how much he weighs, but you can see he is a "wider" guy.

Nice looking bag. I would add a metal plate on the inside of the ends so you could bolt on a Rotopax or Kolpin gas can on either end. I got an aluminum box that I added the mounts to so I can carry 2-2 gallon Rotopax cans. I think if you added the plates inside ends so you bolt the gas can mounting brackets it would be perfect.
