Flimsy plastic tubs. Broken lids. Bags that buckle under pressure. We’ve all been there. The RUX 40L is the rugged, weatherproof and brilliantly modular little brother of the RUX 70L — a soft-sided but seriously structured gear box that’s built to last a lifetime of adventures. At 40 litres, it’s still got plenty of room for your gear while its collapsible build means it stores like a dream in your boot or gear room. Sling it, stack it, shoulder it, the silicone backed straps make it easy to carry, and the whole system works with a suite of accessories like the RUX Pocket and Organizer Panel. Oh, and the lid? Super easy to use Press Seal with impeccable waterproof performance. RUX have even made it fully repairable, which makes this the last gear box you’ll ever need.

Packing, unpacking, and moving adventure gear has always been a nightmare — a tangle of duffels, cheap tubs and makeshift solutions. That is, until RUX came along. Founded in 2020 by Canadian adventurer Andre Whistler, RUX was born from frustration with the chaos of traditional gear storage. Rather than accept it, Andre teamed up with Tony — a veteran industrial designer from Arc’teryx — and Trina — an expert in sourcing rugged, sustainable materials. Together, they launched RUX via crowdfunding, and the response was immediate: a new modular system that made packing simpler, moving easier, and adventuring better.
At the heart of RUX is one simple mission: Make space for the good life. Their innovative soft-sided gear boxes, waterproof bags, and modular storage add-ons are built to be tough enough for overlanding across Iceland yet versatile enough for weekends on the Cornish coast. With modular designs, weatherproof construction, and a focus on lifetime repairability, RUX has created the ultimate upgrade from the brittle plastic tubs and sagging duffels we all know too well.
In just a few years, they’ve gone from a passion project to a trusted name for car campers, vanlifers and hardcore overlanders everywhere — helping them move, manage and protect their kit, no matter how wild the mission. If you ask us, the best adventures don’t start with packing stress. They start with RUX.
