how heat resistant is this bag? my tarp crinkled a bit from the muffler exhaust.... (Ford Flex)

I have only used it on my tahoe and not real close to exhaust. Love the bag, tons of space.

I believe it is. Haven't measured it but it appears to be. Got it last fall to cover the top of my fire wood pile. It is a high quality heavy tarp. It has held up to being folded back on pile at -20 degrees and lower without cracking.

It's a heavy canvas material. Probably not waterproof per se. But I wouldn't be too worried about leaving it in the back of the truck for a light rain. This bag is flat-out awesome. Still love it.

It's an extremely powerful magnet. I don't have a tarp to test it out but my strong sense is if you got a few of these they'd hold a tarp down easily. But remember there's a lot of "non-metal" material in cars these days. Just sayin...

I bought the bag just 6 months ago and I love it!! I have not had any problems with the zipper and it keeps me warm. Get a liner if you are expecting winter camping.

finally head from our designer. Please see response to your question. thanks, Lee CarCoverkingdomHi Lee,Here's an update: We contacted a vendor who manufacturers an RV with a rubber top and he advised that a Polypropylene cover will not react with the rubber top seal. Only issue is that some covers insulate so well, they can increase the temperature of the roof and cause laminate damage. Our covers do allow for ventilation so I think it would be a personal decision on the buyer's part.Let me know if you have any questions or need anything further?MJ finally head from our designer.

I have a Yamaha FZ6 with under-seat exhaust and I've had no issues from the exhaust heat. Also, I think the bags are great. I've had mine for a a year and a hlf.

Its made with a heavy cotton like outer so it would absorb a significant amount of water if it got wet. This bag is awesome but is a thick heavy beast so drying it out if it got very wet would take quite some time. These are just guesses based on how the bag feels but id keep it dry....... who wants to sleep in a wet bag any way? By the way when they say -25 degreese i think they mean it, this thing is freakin warm! :) i am also very pleased with the construction of the bag. Highly recomended. If you dont plan to be in arctic temps i would lean toward buying the zero degree version of this bag instead. Did i mention thus bag is warm? Luke

I doubt you will find a water proof bag that big. Just wipe it down with an old / clean towel. Put a tarp in the back of your vehicle if you are concerned

Hi Max,All Aqua Quest tarps have heat-taped seams, so you don't have to worry about it. As far as reinforcing the already taped seams, I can definitely find out for you.CheersBen - Gear Out Here

I dont think they put out too much heat for a zip lock bag. I definately recommend it. Mine got ruined from moisture

Mine has not ripped yet and I have had for almost a year now...I don't think it's fire resistant, but like any security bag, it's just to defer your colleagues from getting into your cash at work, or delay a thief from getting to your valuables while traveling...

Honestly, it does get pretty hot, because it is fully made of metal. I put a black driving glove or leather glove over top of it when I'm out of the car. Easy fix. It's not untouchable, and cools down quickly, but I still prefer to have it covered.

Hi. I don't believe this carries an actual temperature rating. Mine runs all around in the engine compartment and as close as about eight inches from the exhaust manifold but is not in contact with it of course. There has been no deformation or curling. If you require fiberglass-and-aluminum heat-shielding, make sure you get that instead of this. This is nylon.

Thanks for the reply. Worked GREAT in the application...now we will see how it stands-up to the summer interior heat of the car.

This is rated for 1 hour at 1800 degrees. I bought fire bags for the most important papers but if you buried it it is not waterproof. So it would survive a fire I think if buried.

Not like a cooler. I no longer have the bike it was on, but I remember it was water repellent and had a well formed thick walled construction. I use to ride dual purpose motorcycles and this bag rates up there with the best of them as far as how well it is made and the storage options. Definitely not junk put together cheaply. Good zippers too. As far as insulated goes, I think it would protect personal effects well from rain, dirt, no problem. It would not keep hot items hot nor cold items cold though. Hope this info helps...
