Yeti, the makers of family identify coolers and stainless-steel drinkware, have entered cargo and kit space for storing. Identified for making rugged out of doors tools at a premium worth, the out of doors model is hitting the bottom working by releasing varied sizes of their GoBox gear instances. I obtained the GoBox 30 as a present this previous Christmas, and thought, “What the heck am I going to make use of this for.” Toying round with it, I mentioned, “what can’t I exploit this for.”

The white variant wouldn’t have been my first alternative of coloration, however it was a Christmas present, so who’s complaining? They do are available a restricted variety of colours presently, King Crab Orange, White, Charcoal, and Tan. On the finish of the day, I’ll find yourself hitting this one with a rattle can camo paint job. The construct high quality and materials, like with most issues Yeti is premium and rugged. The GoBox weighs in at roughly 12 lbs and appears to be made from the identical sturdy materials their coolers make the most of. Whereas this isn’t designed as a cooler, it does meet IP65 and IP67 waterproof worldwide requirements. The clasp that holds the lid closed is tight however can also be very sturdy. I’ve damaged different rugged, well-known cargo clasp touring throughout the nation, however the GoBox has impressed me with its construct high quality. All the GoBoxs are stackable to make them preferrred for storing in your truck mattress or storage. Wanting within the GoBox, it comes with a gear caddy and divider to maintain gadgets organized. On the within lid, they’ve what is named the “Pack Attic” which is a three-compartment zipper mesh bag. It’s slim sufficient to not intrude on the principle storage bucket, whereas additionally being spacious sufficient to retailer grab-n-go gadgets like deal with, rain gear, or first help. They’ve not too long ago up to date this mannequin with a “Heftyhauler Deal with,” which isn’t included within the early model I’ve. It seems to be to be extra of good to have as a result of the shortage of 1 hasn’t restricted my use for the GoBox.

After I first obtained the GoBox, I wasn’t fairly certain what to put it to use for. It began its life out being a deer looking attire field. It served as one thing like a simple grab-n-go equipment with medical, warm-weather garments, and different gadgets I didn’t need lingering within the truck or my looking pack. I had a pal name me as much as go fly-fishing for the weekend and thought this was the proper time to load it out as a deal with field. The “Pack Attic” homes my rain gear, first help, and varied deal with I procured from a number of native fly retailers. The primary compartment stored my waders, chest pack, and dry garments out of the weather. A stunning attribute in regards to the GoBox is the quantity of drugs it shops whereas additionally being very moveable. The group actually began to shine when sorting by my leaders, tippet, and fly bins. I didn’t use the divider for group functions, however I used to be pleasantly shocked to search out out it may double as a reducing board. It makes for some fast work on some limes for an grownup fishing beverage. Whereas we didn’t do a float journey this spherical, I can see how useful this could be to make use of the tie-down slots to lock it to a Flycraft for a protracted float down the river. It’s beginning to turn into a luxurious with the ability to transfer my equipment to varied autos and fishing spots with out worrying about shedding or forgetting key gadgets.

The GoBox is a good way to prepare my fishing and looking gear, however I’m additionally seeing this being helpful whereas tenting or serving as a devoted automobile gearbox. I intend to have a look at the bigger GoBox 60 to make use of as a gear locker for longer street journeys that might require dwelling out of my automobile. Yeti’s GoBox choices are an attention-grabbing introduction to the out of doors cargo and kit space for storing. Whereas it’s a premium worth, the dimensions, building, and out-of-the-box group actually set it aside from the competitors.
