Gifts for the Men in Your Life.

The Travelling Man

As airlines began to put the squeeze on carry-on bags, Red Oxx identified a need for international business travelers to carry a bag that will fit in the international bag checker. So we bought a bag checker and then designed and built a smaller bag based on our famous Air Boss.

Introducing the Mini Boss, an international-sized overnight or weekend carry-on bag that features a protection sleeve for your laptop. The Mini Boss rose to become a top selling carry-on bag in our carry-on lineup. Fits in the bag checker; we know, we own one.

Psst, for those single gals with household fixings (hammer, tape, screw drivers, odds and ends) it’s great, too. Who needs a tool box or a garage when you can hang the Big Bull Roll-up in a closet stuffed full of home repair and maintenance tools. If you’re working on something just grab it and take it away.

Handy Accessories for a Handy Man

Rigger Wallet : A nylon tri-fold wallet that will outlast any leather wallet out there. Never rots or cracks. Clear ID window, credit card slot, zippered coin or key pocket and secure Velcro closure. 12 cool colors. A made in USA wallet with a lifetime warranty? You can’t lose.

Tri-fold Shave Kit : A hanging fold-open toiletry kit with three internal pockets; two in see-through mesh to organize your man’s toiletries and shave kit (or you can sneak off and use it as your makeup kit). Built to last a lifetime. Check out the many happy customer reviews.

The Active Man

Does your honey love to scuba dive? Try a Tres Hombres Convertible Carry-on. This innovative duffel has a long padded main compartment for storing your scuba fins in and two handy side pockets for the other gear and your belongings. Tough ballistic bottom and retractable backpack straps make for easy carry three ways: shoulder, hand clasp or on your back.

Built-in exterior compression straps cinch your load down. If the Tres Hombres is too large, there’s the little brother, Lil Hombre, a scaled down version of this wonderful collapsible bag.

A Social Kind of Fellow

Does your man depend on an iPad tablet for business or personal communications? Our Micro Manager features foam padding not only all around the sides and bottom of the bag but also over the tablet slip cover inside. Slightly taller than our popular Gator tote, the Micro Manager is an everyday carry tote that keeps your honey’s important electronic devices protected and organized.

Gifts for the Women in Your Life.

Raising young boys or girls? Around about now any backpack you bought your teen this fall will probably be showing some serious wear and tear, or worse, is broken already. Why buy a backpack every year when you can buy your teen a backpack for life!

K-12 Kat Pack Backpack : Rectangular backpacks can carry more. Backpack weak points? Solved. Wrapped down the sides for easy access with zippers that will outlast any other on the market. Get your teenager the backpack built like a tank. “***** “It lasts!” ~ Kathy “…money very well spent.” ~ Caroline and over 40 other satisfied customer reviews. Available in 12 cool kid-friendly colors.

No kids yet but one on the way? The Gator all around tote and secret “diaper bag” was developed by Red Oxx President Perry when he was confronted with a new baby boy. Being a Navy parachute rigger he designed a cool diaper bag that any woman, or man, could carry with confidence. When the diapers disappear, the bag becomes an everyday tote for all kinds of uses.

The Sky Train Convertible Backpack Carry-on is the usual travel bag of choice for the ladies, but now that Red Oxx offers Packing Cubes, the new favorite is the Roadster Mini Ruck Rucksack.

Gals love all the pockets. No more pulling all her clothes out to get to things. She won’t have to now using our packing cubes. Just stuff the belongings in them, organized by color and size, and she’ll know that what she wants is in her rucksack.

Ethical Gifts for the Civic Minded

Red Oxx employs a large family in a village in the Mountains of Guatemala to tie our Monkey Fist Zip Knots. Available in both standard grey and bright light-reflecting safety colors, not only are Monkey Fist Zip Knots ethical in the support of free trade, but they also make unique and colorful gifts, especially stocking stuffers.

Priced at a buck and under each, the Monkey Fists have a fantastic story behind them. When Jim, our CEO, went looking for a replacement zip knot for our bags he set off to the jungles of Guatemala. Watch the video On the Trail of the Monkey Fist located on the Zip Knot product pages for a quick rundown of the story.

More background on the origins of the intriguing story of the Monkey Fist is available here.
