RUX: This is Not Your Average Gear Box
…ing in personal pursuits, as well as their professional partnerships. They designed this hybrid product from the ground up to maximize function, from the fold-up capabilities to the ‘design for disassembly’ mantra that RUX Life holds dear to their process. Every part can be replaced individually as opposed to ‘wasted’ when one causes an issue. Personally, I think that is an admirable approach and one that I hope more and more outdoor companies beg…

Black Ember’s Tech-Kit Sling Delivers a Big Hit in a Small Package
…Carry Award’s “Best Everyday Bag” and now currently a finalist in the 2020 Carry Awards “Best Carry On”.
