The best money can buy with a lifetime warranty to go with it. I’ve bought many different items from Red Oxx over the years from laptop bags to backpacks. I’ve never been easy on these bags and to date, never needed to take advantage of the warranty, but it’s nice to know it’s there. Quality made in USA!
Excellent! I have been using the Rail Runner for about 6 years now working as a conductor. Now working as an engineer I don’t carry near as much stuff, the C Ruck is perfect….same great build quality...
Best bag you’ll ever buy!
Bought this rucksack for an upcoming trip overseas after sitting down and figuring out what all needed to be with me as carry-on and readily accessible for navigating airports, security, and various types of ground transportation. It's been on several weekend "test runs" and worked beautifully...
Best in class. It’s an amazing product, more room than expected, very solidly built and for sure the best product in its class.
