ARB fridge transit bag?

[sbwrench]

I am going to buy the 50 quart (47 Liter) ARB fridge and want to get a transit bag cover also. ARB has two covers for it, one is canvas and the other is neoprene. The canvas one is more money. Which one is better? What cover does everybody here have? The fridge will be in my trailer most of the time but I will also use it in the Jeep on day trips. Also 4 wheel parts online lists 3 different bags.

I don't know if one is "better". I have the canvas one on my 50 and it is insulated.
I keep the frige in my back seat platform and the added insulation has made a difference in keeping the ARB cool. I might even add a little more insulation.
Don't know about the wet suit cover though.

Have the neoprene one. Only thing I dont like is the stick on velcro due to my concerns with its adhesive possibly failing from sitting in an enclosed vehicle thats baking in the desert heat. No failures yet though...

Hi sbwrench,

We've got one of the early-model canvas ones on our 47L. They've since slightly re-designed them to address a couple of little issues. We have had problems with the self-adhesive velcro on ours "un-sticking" from the fridge, but that's now been resolved with an updated type of velcro strip and it's been as good as new for the last year. I'd expect the new one to be even better than ours.

I've never used one of the neoprene ones, but have seen them in the shop. They look good.

I think it comes down to personal preference - As Jeff says, not sure if one is "better" than then other. I like our canvas one, and would buy again.

Good luck!
Matto

Thanks for the info, I am going to go with the canvas cover. It looks like the middle priced one on 4wheelparts online is the early model cover.

Went and bought the fridge and canvas bag from my local 4wheelparts store. They are having a $100 instant rebate on the 50 quart model. They had the fridge in stock but the cover will be here next week.
