Storage Bag, 4.5 X 7 Oval, 6 Inch Tall, Black

OVERVIEW

In the world of air-cooled performance, your engine is only as healthy as the air it breathes. For off-road enthusiasts, sand rail pilots, and Baja Bug builders, the environment is a constant battle against fine silt, abrasive sand, and unexpected moisture. The OUTERWEARS Storage Bag is engineered to be your first line of defense when your vehicle is at rest or in transit. Designed with a specific 4.5 x 7-inch oval footprint and standing 6 inches tall, this black storage bag is the gold standard for protecting high-performance air filters and velocity stacks. Whether you are trailering your rail to Glamis or storing your Beetle for the winter, this bag ensures that no debris finds its way into your intake system, preserving your internal engine components from premature wear and tear.

Crafted from a durable, breathable, and water-repellent material that Outerwears is world-famous for, this storage bag features a robust locking drawstring mechanism. This allows for a secure, snug fit around the base of your filter or carburetor setup, preventing the bag from slipping off during high-wind trailering or while being moved around the shop. It is not just about keeping things clean; it is about protecting your investment. High-performance carburetors like Weber IDFs or Dells are sensitive to moisture and grit. By utilizing this protective sleeve, you are effectively sealing off the "lungs" of your VW, ensuring that when it is time to turn the key, your engine isn''t sucking in a mouthful of garage dust or highway grime. It''s an essential piece of equipment for any serious air-cooled specialist who understands that maintenance starts before the engine even fires up.

PRO TIPS

1. Secure for High-Speed Transport

When trailering your VW or sand rail on the open highway, the wind turbulence can be incredible. Always ensure the locking drawstring is pulled tight and tucked away. For extra peace of mind during long-distance hauls, we recommend a small piece of painter''s tape or a velcro strap around the base to ensure the bag cannot catch the wind and "parachute" off. This keeps your filters pristine even after hundreds of miles of road spray and diesel soot.

2. Prevent Condensation and "Garage Gremlins"

If you are storing your car in a damp garage or an outdoor shed, temperature swings can cause condensation to form inside your intake. The Outerwears material is designed to breathe while shedding liquid water, which helps prevent moisture from being trapped against your carburetor throats. This is vital for preventing internal corrosion and keeping spiders or small rodents from making a home inside your velocity stacks during the off-season.

3. Keep a Spare in Your Tool Box

We always suggest keeping an extra storage bag in your pit box or glove box. These aren''t just for filters on the car; they are excellent for protecting spare "clean" filters that you keep as backups. There is nothing worse than reaching for a spare filter at the track only to find it is covered in dirt from sitting in your storage bin. Use these bags to keep your replacement parts in "as-new" condition until the moment they are needed on the engine.
