What's inside
10 features. Zero compromises.
Every detail on this bag exists for a reason. Here's what separates The Outback 3.0 from every other bag on the market.
01. 600gsm hard-coated waterproof canvas
A heavy-duty, highly abrasion-resistant exterior fabric that shrugs off rocks, branches, and road grime. Not the thin canvas you'll find on cheaper bags.
02. Fade-proof fabric - ISO Blue Wool Scale 8
Independently lab tested to the highest UV resistance rating available. In plain English: this bag won't bleach out after a summer on your spare tyre.
03. 840gsm PVC waterproof interior lining
A heavy inner skin that keeps mud, water, and mess contained. Your gear stays dry and protected.
04. YKK racquet coil zippers
Not standard YKK — the premium racquet coil grade. Stronger, smoother, and more durable than anything else in this category. YKK controls the full production process, from raw metal to finished zipper.
05. Unbreakable zinc alloy buckles
Extra thick zinc alloy - not plastic. Combined with seatbelt-grade straps, these buckles keep your bag locked to your spare tyre at any speed, on any surface.
06. Bartack stitching on all load-bearing points & re-inforced X stitching
The same reinforced stitching used in tactical and military gear. Every stress point is locked down so the bag holds its shape and strength under load.
07. Removable trucker mesh internal bag
A large, heavy-duty mesh bag sits inside via velcro strips. Pull it out at camp to take your rubbish, firewood, or dirty gear — without touching the rest of your stuff.
08. 4mm security cable + combo lock
Both included at no extra cost. Thread the cable through the buckle or zipper pullers and secure it to your spare wheel carrier. Keeps opportunists honest.
09. Drainage eyelet in the base
Any moisture or liquid escapes through the base eyelet - no pooling, no odour buildup, no soggy gear.
10. Reinforced bottom — no sagging
A structural base prevents the classic "deflated look" you get with cheaper bags after a few months on the road. This bag holds its shape. Always.
What's in the box
Two free bonuses. Every order.
Free bonus 01
Trucker mesh internal bag
Extra large, heavy-duty, removable. Velcro mounted inside the bag. Perfect for separating rubbish, wet clothes, or firewood from the rest of your gear.
Free bonus 02
Security cable + combo lock
4mm coil cable and a weatherproof combination lock. Loops through the buckle or zipper pullers to deter theft at campsites, trailheads, and rest stops.

Common questions
Got questions? We've got answers.
Will this fit my spare tyre?
The Outback 3.0 is designed to fit most 245–315 section width tyres (31" to 37"). This covers the vast majority of full-size 4WD, ute, and caravan spare tyres. If you have a flush-mount spare (like a Prado or canopy setup), just let us know straight after ordering and we'll send you a bag with the buckles repositioned to the base — no extra cost, no hassle.
How long does delivery take within Australia?
Delivery times depend on your location. We aim to dispatch on the same or next business day after ordering — once shipped, you'll receive a tracking email with your freight details so you can follow your parcel every step of the way. Deliveries run Monday to Friday during standard business hours.
What's actually included in the box?
Every order includes: The Outback 3.0 Spare Wheel Bag, one extra-large removable trucker mesh internal bag (velcro-mounted inside), a 4mm coil security cable, and a weatherproof combination lock. No upsells — everything is in the box, every time. After your order ships, we will text you a setup guide with fitting instructions.
Will the canvas fade in the Australian sun?
Not on the 3.0. The canvas has been independently ISO lab tested and achieved a Blue Wool Scale rating of 8 — the highest UV resistance grade available. It's built to hold its colour in harsh Australian sun, outback dust, and long summers.
Is there a warranty? What does it cover?
Yes — 12 months from the date of purchase. If there's a manufacturing defect or anything fails under normal use, we'll make it right. Call or text us on 0434 868 939, or email support@echidnaoffroad.com.au. We sort warranty claims quickly, without drama or fine print.
What can I actually fit in this bag?
With 70 litres of capacity, the Outback 3.0 is deceptively spacious.
Popular uses: recovery gear, a 35L swing-top bin (fits with room to spare), wet wetsuits, dirty clothes, firewood, small tools, and a first aid kit.
The removable trucker mesh bag makes grabbing your rubbish or wet gear at camp a one-pull job.
How much does shipping cost?
Flat rate $12 Australia-wide — no minimum spend, no surprises. Same price regardless of your location. Free shipping is not available domestically, but at $12 it's about as close as it gets.
What is your return policy?
We offer a 30-day return policy. If you're not satisfied with your purchase, contact us within 30 days of delivery and we'll arrange a return and refund. Items must be unused and in original packaging.
