FAQ
Is the Sherpa carry-on legal?
Sure, if there's nothing packed in it. This bag is for checked travel only. It was designed to fit in the cargo of "puddle jumper" transport airplanes.
Where are the backpack straps located?
The retractable straps are located in a hidden zippered "smugglers" pocket on the bottom of the bag.
What are the D-Rings for?
To attach the backpack straps on their clip-on snap hook end.
Are there any internal pockets?
The Sherpa Jr. features only one large main compartment and two large exterior flat pockets.
How many days of travel will fit in the Sherpa?
This is an expedition sized bag. Going somewhere for awhile? This is your bag. Properly packed one could live out of a Sherpa Jr. for a few weeks.
What's the average weight when full?
Depends what you pack in it. A few weeks of hunting gear for example, could weigh up to a hundred pounds.
Does it come with a waist belt?
Since the Sherpa is a frameless soft sided bag, a waist belt would not work.
Why does the Sherpa have a storm flap over the zippers and your other bags don't?
The Sherpa was designed with rugged outdoor use in mind. A storm flap helps make the bag more water resistant.
How do the compression straps work?
They encompass the bag's exterior helping to keep your gear in place through, you guessed it, compression.
What's the difference between the Sherpa, PR6 and the Big Oxx?
The Sherpa is a large capacity (though not as large as the Big Oxx) outfitter's bag equipped with one main compartment as opposed to the PR6 which has a large center compartment and two end compartments.
Is there a way to securely lock my bag?
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.
Will a sleeping bag fit inside the Sherpa?
Absolutely, it will even fit a large Butler Sleeping Bag.
Are there any interior pockets?
The Sherpa Jr. has only one large main compartment and two exterior flat pockets.
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.
I purchased this bag specifically for a trip to Antarctica. It is great. I took this bag and one other for a 3 week trip. The other was carrying back all of the stuff I would acquire on the way there and back again. This bag held it all, including some of the gear that I would need for camping and mountaineering in the Antarctica wilderness. Best investment I made in 2008.
Truly ''Build like a tank''. This is my 2nd Shepa Jr. - and what I find amazing is that even after quite some travel (I travel 5-10 days each month), the bag still looks like new.
I love this bag. It was a bit expensive but worth it. It's sturdy and made with quality materials. The cinching mechanism on the bag lets us pack a huge amount of stuff into a very small space compared to duffel bags or suitcases. It easily fits all the clothes for a week for two adults and a toddler into our thule force XL cargo box. The backpack straps make it manageable to lift...
Just got back from my first hunting trip to Africa. I chose this item as the single piece of luggage that I took. I couldn't be happier. It has more than enough room for what I needed including clothing, boots, ammo and a soft gun case. It looks great and is tough as nails. If you buy one you wont be disappointed. Even airline baggage handlers couldn't damage it.
