BIG!
While I keep mine there most of the time, it is soft and large, so quite easy to mangle into a space somewhere, whilst you're stuffing items up to the roof!
Alternatively tho, as it's so light compared to a hi lift, strap it down onto the roof rack.
Better an exhaust jack up there than a 20-30kg hi lift!(as well as any other gear).
Actual size is(I'm measuring now for 'ya ... ) 600x400mm(about 100mm thickness) .. but not rectangular, it's semi circular on the 400mm side. Like a medium sized duffle bag, and a fair bit of air inside tho .. so squashable to fit into some strangely shaped spot to stop other things rattling about.
So far my biggest
faux pas with it has been that I once used it to rotate the tyres one day in my drive, and lifted each side(both wheels) at a time. Had the handbrake on of course .. which is totally useless unless you lock the diff lock.
Massive DOH! moment for me.
But a semi safety side effect of doing it this way was that as the car got light on the one side, it gently .. ie. very gently rolled a mm or two whilst all wheels were still on the ground.
That is, it gave me plenty of warning as to my brain faded moment of forgetting about the handbrake effect, so I stopped the compressor filling it, let some air out, chocked the other side's wheels and then continued on again once I reset the location of the air bag.
The kit I got came with protective fabric for top and bottom of bag, a few puncture patches just in case of a mishap, and hoses for exhaust and a compressor(schrader valve) fitting ..
