Graduate to minimalism!

Find traveling peace when less is more.

As Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the author of 'The Little Prince' once said, "He who would travel happily must travel light." As the smallest in our carry-on safari luggage series, the PR4 is perfect for overnight airline travel, as a gym bag, or a passenger seat companion for overland travel.

PLACES FOR YOU BELONGINGS
Featuring plenty of exterior pockets for organizing your gear and a cavernous interior compartment, the PR4 Duffel holds more than you thought possible. Handy spacious end pockets allow easy access to your 'must have' gear, especially useful when stuffing the PR4 under the seat, be it plane, train, or bus. Both pockets zip halfway down their sides for easy access to buried belongings.

A zippered front flat pocket keeps your passport handy. The pass-through panel on the back side is designed for use with wheeled luggage. Unzip top and bottom zippers and slip it over the wheeled bag's telescoping carry handle (or leave the bottom zipper closed and it doubles as a second flat exterior pocket).

The spacious center compartment has a unique open flap with twin zippers that allow you to peel away the flap for unhindered access to your belongings. Twin steel turn locks keep the flap secure.

NO SLIP CARRY
Like most of our duffel bags, the PR4 includes the famous Claw nonslip padded shoulder strap. Attached using heavy-duty 360 degree "claw-like" swivels, this hardware will endure any abuse you can throw at it. Quickly detaches for storage inside in case you use your PR4 carry-on for checked luggage.

USE IT AS A PERSONAL ITEM
Ladies, if you want to use this on your next flight, stick your purse in this spacious bag's center compartment and use it as your "personal item" in conjunction with your primary carry-on, such as an Air Boss or Sky Train.

For the men out there, fill it to the brim, and travel in the same carry-on manner. Designed for the minimalist traveler out there, the Red Oxx Safari Beano's PR4 is still packed to the gills with overbuilt features that will serve you for a lifetime of travel.

Dimensions: 19"L x 9"W x 9"H (carry-on legal).
Capacity: 1,539 cu. inches.

Pocket measurements:

  • Dual end compartments: 9"W x 9"H x 2"D

 Perfect Carry-on bag
By Other Lisa, Venice CA, June 17, 2010

I'm a big Red Oxx fan and have the Skytrain, the PR-6, the Mini-Ruck and the Gator. All of these are great bags; it's just a question of matching up the right luggage to the type of trip I'm taking.

This time around I was doing a book tour with a number of early flights and at least one tight connection. I didn't want to check anything but I didn't want to be weighed down either, and I had books and other promotional materials to bring with.

I used my Skytrain and my brand new PR-4. I had heard criticism that the PR-4 was overbuilt for its size, too small. I totally disagree. The PR-4 is the perfect "personal item" -- big enough that you can pack a lot of stuff in it but not unwieldy. It fits neatly under the seat in front of you, even in small commuter jets. I loved having enough space in my two bags so that packing wasn't a puzzle-piece operation that took a lot of planning -- it's just roll and go.

I still kinda want to snag a PR-5 for other types of trips, but I think I'm going to get a ton of use out of the PR-4. It's an awesome bag.
 
 Great Carry-On and SkyTrain Mate
By Dave, Arlington VA, January 18, 2010

A very good to great carry-on. If you have a few extra items on a longer trip, do what I did: SkyTrain for the overhead, and the PR-4 for under the seat. I'm a big Gator fan but this bag is nice because it's a bit bigger and you can shove it under an airline seat and still easily access an end or main pocket w/o pulling it out all the way.

I stuff one end pocket with Clif bars and maybe an iPod,noise CANX phones,and a paperback and I'm set.

It's also good for a 2 or 3 day trip by car, where you have the flexibility to use a laptop or larger bag for business materials. It's well-made as is everything from Red Oxx. It is also a great 1-bag option for a short airline trip if you aren't carrying a big laptop. I don't used it as a gym bag because I just don't need all the pockets. Finally, the material is plenty sturdy and rigid, and even though not foam-panel lined like the Gator, stands upright pretty well. It does not "collapse" on itself when not fully packed, which makes it a lot easier to organize your packing. I am a big Filson fan and have been for years but this bag is a very good and much more useful alternative to the Filson Sportsman's bag which I also have. The PR-4 is less expensive and in many respects a better product. I use it often on road trips as a passenger seat "organizer" with the end pockets holding electronics and water bottles. (The Filson Sportsman bag "collapses on itself" and is more like a range bag and not that great for travel)

I have reviewed another RedOxx bag and this review will be similar. To start I will say that I own many of their products, have given many as gifts, but I do not have any other interest in the company. My philosophy is to buy the best, no matter where it is made. The Safari Beano is among the best of its type. I will briefly review and comment on each feature. FABRIC. Very strong and tough. Still will abrade if it bounces around in the bed of a pickup on gravel roads for 18 or so hours, rubbing against a sharp edge of a metal dog kennel. Actually fabric not that important except for long term life. Short term, in the middle of a trip, duct tape can usually rescue fabric failures. Down side of the heavy duty fabric is that it adds weight. ZIPPERS. The strongest available on the market. Maybe not, there may be one size that is substantially larger, but I have never seen it used by any luggage manufacturer. Zippers are important, failure in the middle of a trip is usually a disaster. The quality of the zipper, its reliability, is the most important feature on the whole bag. Zippers will work themselves open after being subjected to vibration, so I usually use twist tabs to hold them closed if I am checking the bag with an airline. This is not unique to RedOxx products. HARDWARE is strong, but heavy. DESIGN is good, and if you don't like the color, pocket arrangements or the size RedOxx has lots of other models. It is not however dustproof. The fine dust that hangs in the air for minutes after a logging truck passes you will find its way into the bag. AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT 1) There are premium bags available that have linings. This adds to the price of course. The ones available that I have seen or own are only available in limited number of styles and colors, have dark linings and are targeted at a more formal travel market than the RedOxx product line. Still I would love the option of a white fabric liner, to help see what is in the bag. 2) The super strong hardware adds a lot of weight, especially for the smaller bags such as the PR4. Airlines are checking weight more carefully nowadays. A titanium hardware option would drive up the price, but would be great. There must be aluminum hardware that would be strong but substantially lighter. 3) The rubber in the provided shoulder strap is a weak point, if you abuse the bag by loading it up with many boxes of shotgun shells or books. I have broken two, but I am talking about serious weight here. The rest of the bag handles such use routinely.
 
 Tough and Noticed
By Debra D, Iowa, April 18, 2009

I hadn't traveled by air since 1982!Naturally, needed luggage. This bag was perfect! I couldn't believe how much this bag held. I just kept packing in more and more. So, I over packed for my trip. I did take the monkey knots off, just in case, as I did check the bag. Went through everything just fine and really stood out (I got the saffron yellow) at the baggage claim areas. I had many people compliment me on my bags. I also have the Air Boss, the Gator, and the Metro / briefcase bag for my laptop. That bag alone could get me through a weekend trip - with the laptop!
 
 Didn't work for me
By Dan, Sacramento, CA, March 30, 2009

I own four Red Oxx bags and all are extremely tough. I love the other three, but this one didn't work for me. It has the same super heavy duty hardware as the bigger bags which is way too much for a bag this small.I've never used it, but it's kicked around storage and now I am stuck with it. As a boutique manufacturer I am a little disappointed that return/exchange policy isn't a little more flexible.----------------------------------------Red Oxx Replies: Our Return Policy: All unused in new condition bags can be returned for a refund less shipping.
 
 PR$
By Cate White, tampa, FL, December 16, 2008

I love my unique purple Red Oxx bag. The pockets are exactly right for whatever I need them for. There is always space for what I need whether a carry on/day trip/sightseeing. Very sturdy, too. Hope I can afford a larger model for my main luggage soon!

 Thoughtful design
By Alexander, London, England, October 29, 2007

I'm always impressed with the enduring qualities and the thoughtful design that has gone into your bags. They have accompanied my family to many wonderful fishing outposts, from Mozambique to Madagascar, and we use them eagerly.
 
 One Tough bag
By David G. Chestnut, , October 29, 2007

THANK YOU!!! I received my bag yesterday and can't tell you how pleased I am with it. It looks to be built tough and has a place for everything. I'm required tocarry on the road.
 
 Quality and craftwork
By Chuck Long, Jr., Richmond, Virginia, October 29, 2007

I had my first opportunity to travel with my Safari Beanos Bags -- from Richmond out to Colorado, around Colorado and then back home. They endured the indifference and abuse of luggage handlers, cab drivers and the like without a whimper or scar. Now, more than ever, I appreciate the thought and design, not to mention quality and craftwork that went into their making.
 
 Small and Mighty
By Tom Capra, , September 23, 2007

I bought the PR4 as a gym bag and find it pulls double duty as an occasional overnight bag when I don't need a lot of heavy, bulky clothing. The bag has plenty of pockets for my gear and toiletries, making it easy to find what I need quickly. Six months later the bag has no signs of wear, which speaks to the quality and workmanship of Red Oxx products!Tom CapraDenver, CO
