Best bomber Raft Bag made!

Best raft/infllateable bag available! Just a FYI, I always size up a size larger than it says.

Boat bag is great.

The NRS boat bag is great. I use it to store and carry a Star Slice. I have an extra large bag and the Slice goes right in and the bag closes easily. I put it in my basement and it's ready for the next trip down the river.

Boat Bag Review

I have a 12' Otter and a 14' Hyside and store both of them in the winter in NRS boat bags. I put dryer sheets in the boat as I fold it and around the boat on the inside of the bag, and keep the bag off the floor on a pallet. This helps mouse proof it. I use a cam strap on the outside as well and the bags are helpful when wrestling the boats out of the barn and in a pickup or trailer. The bag just helps protect the boats.

Handy Bag

Great bag, keeps my tubes safe while rolled and stored. Medium size holds a set of 12ft Aire Wave Destroyers just right.

Durable Boat Bag

Perfect boat bag! Size M fits Paddlecat. Size L fits 14' Raft. Well designed; zipper unzips all the way around so the bag can be placed flat for ease of getting rolled inflatable inside. Love the durable PVC material of the bag, the rugged nylon webbing straps to cinch it tight, with sturdy handles for carrying/moving boat and the breathable mesh allows optimal venting to keep boat dry.

It is actually large enough for my outlaw 142. The large bag was too small so I gave it to a friend. I'll probably be buying the IK bag soon for my new SOAR canoe.

Great Bag

This is a solid, well made bag. Folds open completely flat for easier loading of the raft. Great bag for storing and protecting my boat on long trips.

Perfect

Chose size Medium (red). Perfect for deflated storage of both my 15' L x 25" D pontoons. Handles everywhere for easy one or two person carrying. Beefy zippers. Good ventilation. Looks and feels well built and durable - time will tell.

Great product !!!

Medium bag is perfect fit for my Shredder cataraft. Offers protection in storage and transport. Roomy enough for some other soft items like throw rope, wet suit, etc. Good looking functional bag. Plenty of mesh around the sides, cinch straps, well placed carry handles for one, or two person carry.

Well Made Boat Bag

This NRS Boat Bag looks well made and durable. I've used it several times and it performs great. Large carry handles and buckles make it easy to secure the bag and carry it.

Excellent product

The bag protected my Maravia 14' Willy on a bumpy jet boat transport and fit the boat even though we were unable to suction air out of the chambers before folding it up.

Snug for 12

I read a lot of reviews, but along with the description I thought a medium would just be great for the 12' otter. It fits, but at the takeout you don't want to be Houdini!! Get a large for the 12'. above that I don't know...

Great Bag for Storage

Our 14 foot Otter raft fit in the XL with the thwarts and a few extra dry bags with room to spare. The bag should also function as a "bag of bags" to keep stuff contained in the raft on longer trips. It won't keep the mice out while the boat is in storage, but will keep it clean and contained, so just be sure to keep it somewhere the mice can't reach. Ours in under our bed.

Keep Organized

I was worried that both of my cat tubes would not fit in one bag, but I'm pleased that they do. I was keeping each tube in a plastic tub, now I don't have to do that and it frees up some storage room. I got a hole in one of my tubes on the way to the MFS this summer because I didn't have a bag to put them in. Not having to patch my boat on day one of a trip is worth the price. I like the material used on the sides. Nice and durable. The clear plastic window to insert your contact info is nice, but I still marked it up with a Sharpie. The only thing I'd change is adding handles on the top instead of on the front. Otherwise it's awkward for one person to handle, especially with both tubes in the bag. This is a worthwhile gear investment.

bag that inflatable

I can roll up my 12 ft inflatable kayak, the seat, and PFD, all fit comfortably in this bag. It is attractive and easy to store flat. The handles allow it to be carried from the car to the water prior to inflation. It also has mesh sides, so that if the Kayak retains some water, it will dry and not mildew. It isn't cheap, but it is a fair price for the high quality it is made with.
