For those tired of their gear taking a beating every time they head out on a new adventure, this limited-edition packing system is the solution.

Rux, maker of rugged, adventure-ready storage, has unveiled a bundle of bombproof packing cubes as part of a members-only drop, designed to keep essentials safe even on the gnarliest adventures.

The Rux Packing System Ultra is crafted with next-gen materials and details, making it ultra-light, ultra-strong and ultra-rugged.

Adventure organization, elevated

The Packing System Ultra is the latest addition to Rux’s catalog of innovative, weatherproof gear organization for outdoor adventurers.

The cornerstone of the new system’s durability is Challenge TX50 Ultra, a triple-layer ripstop material that is light and thin, while maintaining incredible strength and abrasion-resistance.

The ultralight TX50 Ultra material is also completely waterproof, adding to the system’s protective elements.

While Rux’s new packing system is robust in terms of its protective capabilities, don’t be fooled into thinking it’ll take up extra space in your pack. The Packing System Ultra is specifically designed to minimize bulk without sacrificing strength.

Modular, minimal, must-have

If durability is the star of the show, modular design is the foundation on which the Packing System Ultra stands.

Designed to nest within the brand’s 70L or 40L gear boxes, this special-edition system includes a 20L Packing Bag, 10L Packing Cube and 2L Packing Pocket.

White RUX backpack with black trim partially open showing black gloves, boots, and knee pads inside. — The 20L option is ideal for bigger, bulkier, messier items.

The 20L Packing Bag Ultra is ideal for messy and bulky gear like shoes, knee pads, dirty laundry or anything else that takes up space and shouldn’t mix with your clean gear.

White roll-top backpack with black trim containing purple insulated gloves, yellow leather gloves, and blue-tinted ski goggles. — Stash layers, gloves, goggles and other mid-sized necessities in the 10L pack.

The 10L Packing Cube Ultra middleweight champ is designed to hold layers, tools or anything else you don’t want rolling around in your duffel or Rux gear box.

White zippered pouch with black trim containing a smartphone, blue battery pack labeled "Bikes 2025," green and black Zoleo SOS device, and black Lynx OGT headlamp with green strap. — Keep essentials, like tech and snacks, dry and protected with the pocket-sized option.

Last but not least, the 2L Packing Pocket Ultra is built for the essentials that need protecting. Think your smartphone, headlamp, cords or even your favorite snacks.

Availability and pricing

The limited-edition Rux Packing System Ultra is the brand’s first-ever member’s-only drop, so if you’re interested, I’d recommend signing up and copping what you want ASAP. Once this collection sells out, it’s gone for good.

Outdoor adventurers who prize organization can buy the entire system as a bundle, or shop the 20L Packing Bag, 10L Packing Cube or 2L Packing Pocket individually, with prices ranging from $45 to $85 per pack, or $195 for the entire bundle.

The Packing System Ultra is available on Rux’s official website now, while supplies last.
