Most outdoor gear container systems, whether bins, bags or hybrids, are rather tall; they appear to be sized using pickup truck bed walls as a height guide.
RUX, the outdoor gear brand started by industrial designer Tony Richardson, produces a flexible, fold-flat outdoor gear container system. They’re a hit with overlanders and travelers, particularly their 70L model, which falls into the tall category of containers.
User feedback, however, prompted Richardson to design an alternative; not everything is going into the bed of a pickup. Thus the company has rolled out the RUX 40L Gear Box.
“Designed with a shorter, carry-on-friendly form factor, it fits where others can’t — from under-seat truck drawers to overhead bins, boat decks, van builds, and ATV racks.”
It also, Richardson reckons, makes a good case for quick access to just a single layer of goods, rather than having to dig through a deeper tote or box.
Like its bigger 70L sibling, it’s completely watertight, and collapses flat when it’s not needed. Check out all of its features below:
It runs $250.
