It is 45" x 45" x 15", made of sturdy water-proofed blue woven nylon, three sided double zipper, felted heavy-gauge vinyl bottom, has eight nylon straps (I use six of them). Works great. I just roll the excess bag into a wee roll at the rear of the cargo pit. Comes with drip rail clips, if you want to use it on your Passat or Jetta. Believe it or not, K-Mart. $39.00. in their "On The Road" section. If you've got a Jetta or Golf, this thing works great as a trunk liner, too (when you are hauling messy or disgusting stuff). When fully unfurled, it is almost exactly the size of the interior of the trunk. Happy hauling,
