When it comes to all of your upcoming wintertime adventures, keeping all your gear organized and at-the-ready is key. Getting caught out in the cold without easy access to vital pieces of gear can make or break any cold-weather excursion. And while there’s no shortage of quality storage solutions on the market these days, we just got our hands on perhaps the most functional, packable, and capable storage solution we’ve ever seen. Introducing the RUX 70L.
Weighing in at only 5.3 pounds empty, this badboy punches way above its weight class. It boasts a beefy 70L capacity, and can adequately carry up to 50 pounds of gear. It’s also fully weatherproof so you can rest assured that your precious cargo will stay safe and dry throughout your trip. It’s constructed from high-tenacity 840D TPU coated waterproof nylon, PU coated compressed EVA foam base, and ultra-tough nylon webbing straps with a composite nylon frame.
We recently took it on a local camping trip in coastal California, and it proved to be the one-stop-shop for all our miscellaneous (yet vital) pieces of camping gear. It conveniently organized our propane, gas stove, headlamps and lanterns, cooking utensils, small hatchet and fire-starting kit, as well as some camera gear. We were thoroughly impressed with the volume of this thing, and it doesn't feel bulky or cumbersome while carrying to your destination. The RUX 70L can certainly hold its own out in the wild, and we’d even venture to say that it’ll be the last outdoor storage solution you ever buy—it even comes with a lifetime warranty. It really is that good. But we decided to save the best part for last: It’s fully collapsible when not in use. This not-so-little detail makes all the difference in the world to us. When our garage can start to feel overly cluttered with gear, the RUX 70L conveniently folds into the corner taking up almost no space. This is the only storage solution in this class that we can say that about. We can't think of a reason not to have it with us on all our adventures year-round. This is our new go-to gear hauler for everything from day trips to the beach, afternoons at the park, BBQs at the neighbor’s house, and tailgating before the big game. The RUX 70L is awesome.—Jon Perino, senior editor
