It is foam yellow with the egg carton on one side.
If it gets dirty it is only going to get my bike dirty in the future.
I put some rags (old socks are my favorite) in the bag to clean the bike before putting it in the bag.
Yes I could have used a sleeping bag---not as good of padding and heavier.
No problem adding more stuff to the bag---I just want to be well below the 50 pound limit so as not to pay the premium for oversize. I think it is close to being legal.
