DESCRIPTION

DESIGNED BY RAILROADERS.
This is the bag you've been hearing about and spotted out on the tracks. Red Oxx began hand-building this duffel style Grip for locomotive railroad engineers here in Billings, Montana in 1992.

Together with a group of five rail engineers and conductors, Red Oxx created an American-made trainman bag that could survive the rough rail life.

Designed with the help of these fellow engineers, conductors and train crew members at our local rail hub (Montana's largest), it's been tested tough to the extreme, making it the perfect work Grip.

The Grip is made out of our strongest material; 1050 heavy-weight denier Ballistic Nylon (available only in BLACK, and for good reason, colored bags get filthy quickly in the rail yard environment).

Originally developed as a flak jacket fabric in World War II, Ballistic Nylon is one of the strongest and durable flexible textiles available. Rugged, reliable and tough.

FITS YOUR RAIL GEAR.
Sized to fit the large GCOR rule book or tablet in one end pocket, your "Shiner" trainman lantern and radio in the other, you'll still have room for a week (or more) worth of clothes and your Red Oxx Nomad Shaving Kit in the cavernous main compartment.

Speaking of clothes, check out our hanging and shoulder carry Laundro Bag for storing your dirty laundry.

There are plenty of places to stow smaller things in the zippered flat pockets located on all sides of the duffel. Smaller items like pens and pencils should be stored in a pencil case so they don't knock around in your bag.

Our no questions asked "No Bull" Lifetime Warranty guarantees this'll be the last grip you'll ever have to buy! Why?

NO JUNK MATERIALS.
No skinny tiny plastic zippers, cheap thread or junky low-grade hardware like other rail Grips. Red Oxx uses huge, tested-tough #10 YKK zippers that work every time, in every kind of weather, in any temperature. Easy to close, easy to open.

Our thread is a proprietary UV protected Anefil Nylon, Bonded Type 6,6 Tex 90-Black that will cut your fingers off before you can break it. UV protection from the sun resists thread aging, a common breakdown point used in typical inferior bags.

Since we're former military veteran parachute riggers, you can bet every stress point is double cross-stitched. The double XX being the source of our brand name, Red OXX.

PUTTING THE HARD IN HEAVY-DUTY HARDWARE.
When you see and feel the sheer heft our stainless steel nickel-plated hardware you'll understand why so many railroaders swear by our Grips.

Just check out hundreds of customer reviews from satisfied engineers, conductors, and trainmen who have tried them all - some of them have burned through several competitors' Grips within a single year!

Includes The Claw, our no-slip rubber padded adjustable shoulder carry strap.

BOUND AND BAGGED
Where two separate pieces of fabric are stitched together, they are then bound; that is, we take a long piece of one-inch wide nylon webbing and fold it over the edges of the two pieces and stitch them together. This creates a strong seam, or binding, that prevents the pieces from unraveling on the inside of the bag.

In addition, each exposed fabric edge, such as on a pocket flap, is also bound using a thicker binding material. Inside edges typically receive a thinner nylon webbing, whereas outside corner edges that are exposed to wear will have a thicker nylon binding. This gives it a clean finished look on the outside of the Grip.

All of our binding material is vertically woven to prevent fraying, peeling or splitting that you may commonly see in competitors' Grips that brag of "binding" their edges.

Life on the tracks is hard. It's about steel, oil and hard sharp edges that cut and rip a regular bag to pieces. The Red Oxx Railroad Grip: "stronger than Armstrong."

PERSONALIZE IT.
Because an Monogrammed Grip is a respected Grip. Order a FREE personalized embroidered Monogram and make your Grip --yours. Available in red capital letters only (no lower cases). Monogram is located on top zipper panel only.

Because there are many Grips out on the rails with owner's names embroidered on their bags, it's a great idea to think up something a little more personal than just your name or initials. For example: perhaps a favorite nickname, pet name, TV show, band, game, animal, hero, car or truck, team, aircraft and so on. Something entirely unique to you.

Fun GRIP Trivia: It's called a Grip as this comes from the rail line term for a train case bag coined as a "Grip sack." This was a bag issued by the RR for employees to organize and carry their stuff. It was a large canvas bag with big handles. As the years passed, the term was shortened to Grip.
