FAQ
Will you put a name patch on these?
We have to send out for our embroidery so we currently only offer it on our Railroad bags and corporate orders.
That being said, you're welcome to get your bag embroidered by a local embroidery shop in your area and this won't void your warranty in any way.
Are bags waterproof ?
While CORDURA® Brand Nylon Fabric and Ballistic Nylon has a waterproof poly-urethane backing, our gear is classified as water-resistant. Waterproof bags require heat sealed and taped seams; ours are sewn. Every stitch can be considered a “hole” for water to leak through. That said, Red Oxx bags can withstand most inclement weather such as rain and snow while keeping your gear inside dry. Just don't toss it in the lake and expect the same outcome.
CORDURA® Brand Nylon Fabric and Ballistic Nylon can also be treated with an additional ScotchGuard Heavy Duty Water Shield Spray if necessary. Follow manufacturer’s water-treatment product instructions on the label for best results.
What's the difference between Roadster Mini Rucksack, K-12 Kat Pack Backpack, and the C-Ruck?
The Roadster Mini Rucksack is the little brother to the C-Ruck. It's two inches narrower and one inch shorter. These smaller dimensions are also reflected in the side pockets, front raised pocket and cover flat pocket. See the Specifications Tab for further dimension details. The K-12 is a rectangular style school backpack that zips open down the top and sides.
Will the Roadster meet personal item carry-on standards?
Certainly, the Mini Ruck will easily fit into any overhead bin and even under a few airline seats.
What's the best way to pack the Roadster?
Since Rucksacks are top loaders, the most efficient way to pack one is to pack items you may need easy access to in the raised exterior pockets and rolling each piece of clothing. Another option we recommend is to use our Red Oxx Packing Cubes. Some people also use the Nomad Shave Kits and Lil Roy Gadget Bags as packing cubes. This way you can compartmentalize everything by color coding. Bundle wrapping would require pulling the entire bundle out to access anything.
How many days worth of supplies will fit in the Roadster Rucksack?
Depends on how good a packer you are. Most people can get a weekends worth of clothes in the Roadster. We'd estimate two to three days.
Will a laptop fit in the Roadster? What size laptop?
Virtually any laptop or tablet with up to a 15" diagonal screen and two inches thick will slide into the padded sleeve inside the rucksack.
What's the red fabric on the inside of the bag for?
Having a bright color on the inside of the bag helps to see what's inside the bag. It also adds an extra layer of weather resistant protection.
Does the Mini Rucksack have a belly strap?
Because the Roadster does not have a bulky built-in frame, a belt strap would not help to balance the load.
Are there any interior pockets?
There is a notebook / laptop stitched-in sleeve located in the back of the rucksack.
Is there a way to securely lock the pockets on my rucksack?
Sure, you can use any TSA approved bag lock or try our Cable Lock for a simple, semi-secure solution. Watch this video where CEO Jim Markel demonstrates how you can use the cable that comes with the product Dog Tag price tag to secure your bag. Keep in mind, any determined thief can still cut open a soft sided bag with a sharp knife.
My zipper broke. The teeth have separated. Do I send it in for warranty repair?
No need for warranty repair, fix it yourself. Check out this video where CEO Jim Markel shows how easy it is to do it yourself.
How do I use or store my bag to keep its original padded shape and prevent it from slouching?
When using your bag, pack heavy items in the bottom of the bag. When storing your bag, removed any items and press flat. You can stack your bags in your closet in this manner or better yet, use a compression strap (sold separately) to hang your bag.
Can you ship USPS?
Yes, Red Oxx will ship USPS upon request. Simply state, "Please ship USPS" in the cart comments during checkout and we will adjust your billing accordingly.
This bag like my other one is built like a tank and will provide me with years of use. Especially with the guarantee but with the craftsmanship I don’t suspect I’ll use it.
Mini Ruck is great as expected. Red Oxx is king when it comes to rugged soft bags. I must have 10 different models. They take a beating; I never worry about malfunction or failure.
10 Years and counting...Coworker was quite understandably admiring my Mini Ruck and as usual I was gloating about how much I LOVE it.
This backpack is great. It's well made and comfortable and fits everything I need to throw in my bag. I use it on a regular basis when biking through the city...
I waited a long time to buy, I thought it was a little expensive. I was 100% wrong, best back pack I have ever bought.
