Factory bag that comes with the 2019 sidewinder

[RtxViper]

Has anyone had issues with the bag that comes with the new model sidewinders? My bag gets tons of moisture in it so everything is always frozen and full of frost the bag is pretty much useless... Glad i added a linq bag or i wouldn't have any dry storage

No

Mine has been fine

None here. But if you’re in lots of deep snow and it’s (the snow) on the tunnel it could come in through the mounting studs. Inside bag there’s 2 1/4turn plastic knobs. Then a 1/2” peg that it locks to. Those holes in bag I could see water seeping through if in deep snow with the heat exchanger warming the tunnel slightly to melt it.

Im getting snow dust in there pretty bad, also i do agree that i bet some of it is seeping in through the bottom it just sucks tools are rusting and anything else is frozen or wet

No issues with snow dust for sure. Everything’s dry as can be in mine and father’s. Only through those mounting holes was all I can imagine. The rest of the bags pretty waterproof for us.

I've had my Sidewinder for a bit over 2 weeks and it has 470 miles on it. I pulled a couple of hats out of the bag today - soaked!

I bought a larger one but it is the same design. I get moisture. I leave it open each night in my garage to dry out.

Yeah any tail bag will get moisture in it when enough snowdust is onto back of sled.

The LinQ bags mostly now all come with an inner bag style enclosure which keeps them dry.

I just keep spare belt, tool bag, and any other items in a ziplock bag within the stock tunnel type bag.

The larger Cat tunnel bag used to come with a waterproof liner that zipped into itself.
