Yeti’s durability-first ethos has graced gear from pour-over coffee and bear-resistant coolers to backpacks and must-have totes.

But its latest release moves into uncharted waters: EDC.

The Loadout GoBox 1 Gear Case is the newest, most compact member of the popular Loadout GoBox family, and it’s the perfect size to protect your everyday essentials.

A Yeti Loadout for your EDC loadout

Your smartphone isn’t a fan of water, heavy dust or heavy impact. Neither are your keys, wallet or national park passes.

In an effort to protect what you can’t leave home without, Yeti’s Loadout GoBox 1 Gear Case shields everyday essentials with the same nearly indestructible construction found throughout the Loadout GoBox ecosystem.

Modular organization features, including a removable tray and silicone Pack Attack pouch, accommodate most smartphones, while keeping car keys, credit cards and your favorite pen ready to roll.

Like the rest of the Loadout GoBox lineup, this new EDC-friendly entry is waterproof, dust-proof and really damn hard to break.

That indestructible nature is thanks to its being constructed from PC-ASA, a thermoplastic alloy that blends extreme strength with excellent UV and weather resistance.

Hands-free functionality

Yeti thought through every scenario where the Loadout GoBox 1 Gear Case mighty come in handy — especially when you need those hands for more important tasks than gripping your smartphone.

Black YETI branded waterproof case mounted on the interior side panel of a vehicle. — The flexible TPU strap makes this gear case ultra-useful, even on the most challenging adventures.

The integrated, ultra-durable tether strap, made from flexible TPU, loops and locks around equipment when you need it on hand, not in-hand; think saddles, skiff grab rails, side ATV doors or even MOLLE paneling on your truck.

Orange YETI waterproof hard case with black strap resting on wet sandy beach. — A little water won’t hurt: the Loadout GoBox 1 meets IP65 and IP67 international ratings to be dustproof and fully submersible.

When it’s not in use, the strap rests on the bottom of the gear case, streamlined and out of the way.

At 1.7 pounds and just under 10 inches long, the GoBox 1 can easily fit into any sized pack or map pocket on your rig’s doors, making it an ideal companion for hikes, days on the water or overlanding trips.
