The Gear Junkie — Montana’s Red Oxx Manufacturing – American Bags for your Spirit of Adventure

In 1986, Red Oxx Manufacturing http://www.redoxx.com/ made its first products from decommissioned military-surplus webbing. It was burly stuff, the kind of material that could last for decades and, despite being destined for destruction, the company thought it needed to see new life.

Today, the Montana-based bag and luggage maker continues to cut a unique path. Its gear remains burly, almost clunky in cases, including extra-thick nylon, oversize zippers, stainless steel rings, reinforced stitching, and funny monkey-knot pulls that adorn zippers with a spherical head of cord.
