Ombraz Sunglasses
No sidearms, no problem. Ombraz is takin’ the sunglass world by storm and it’s safe to say the team at RUX are big fans! Any of the Ombraz sunglasses also happen to perfectly pair with the RUX Pocket. Slide ‘em right into one of the internal pockets and boom! - sun protection and style all at an arms reach.
Kammok Roo Hammock
After a long day of packing, roadtripping, and family antics, Kammok’s Roo Double Hammock is the key to chillin’ at camp! Perfect for two, compact for travel, and made from recycled fabric it’s a no-brainer this holiday season! Stow it away within your RUX Bag to add to your camping kit.
Gerber Bushcraft Hatchet
The Bushcraft Hatchet addresses two primary needs: starting fire and building shelter. The ergonomic design reduces weight and improves grip for long haul use, and the blade features machined relief for deeper cuts. Yet, the genius is in what you can’t see: a gear storage compartment that is water-resistant and can house paracord and a mini size lighter (or fire starting material). We don’t go anywhere without this axe, lashed to the RUX 70L rail with a RUX Utility Strap, for easy access.
Strafe Alpha Insulator Short
Founded in Aspen, Strafe makes some of best, and most stylish winter apparel you can find. Gear up your dad this holiday season for a (hopefully) epic ski season ahead. We love the Alpha Insulator Short. Perfect mid-layer for cold chairlift rides, apres ski, or snowmobile approaches.
Mateina Yerba Mate
Does Dad need that extra energy hit to get through the day? Mateina all-natural Yerba Mate Drinks & Loose Leaf products are what we crack open when we need that afternoon boost.
Native Fitzsimmons Citylite Bloom Shoes
While Native is best known for their iconic lightweight slip-ons, they just launched some ready-for-anything winter kicks, perfect for stomping in the slush, and staying warm at apres ski. Check out their new Fitzsimmons Citylite Bloom. They tuck perfectly into the 70L, ready for any adventure.
RUX Everyday Carry Bundle
Two of our most versatile products, now in one bundle! The RUX Waterproof Bag is already the most versatile waterproof tote. Clip the RUX Pocket to the exterior and now you've got the perfect gear system for, well, everyday... Save a few bucks when you bundle them together!
Snowpeak Family Dining Set
Gather around the campfire with the Snowpeak Family Dining Set and enjoy a well earned meal. The Dining Set includes a set of 4 stainless steel plates and bowls plus a set of titanium utensils. We use a RUX 70L to store all of our camp kitchen. The whole kit fits snugly inside a 70L, with plenty of room to spare for your stove, pots and pans, and anything else you need to make a gourmet meal (or just hotdogs, we don’t judge).
Kuma Bear Buggy Cart
The RUX Essentials Set is built to easily carry in multiple configurations, but sometimes you just wanna haul more than you can lift! That’s where the Kuma Bear Buggy Cart comes into play, easily handling two 70Ls secured with Utility Straps, with room to spare for a RUX Waterproof Bag.
