YETI LoadOut GoBox 1: The Ultimate Mini Gear Case

Why the YETI LoadOut GoBox 1 is Built to Withstand Anything

Let’s face it, the outdoors isn’t exactly predictable or spa-like! Dust, mud, rain, and splashes can ruin your gear in mere seconds. The GoBox 1 laughs in the face of chaos with its top-level protection and solid construction.

With an IP65 and IP67 rating, the YETI Go Box 1 is fully dustproof, waterproof, and capable of surviving splashes or even being submerged in a meter of water for up to 30 minutes.

Not only that, it carries YETI’s Wildproof guarantee, meaning it’s almost indestructible and built to survive whatever nature throws at it, including your little one who might think it would be fun to bury the portable gear case under a sand castle!

Small BUT Mighty GoBox: Built for Years of Abuse

YETI lovers can expect the GoBox to carry the same quality of material and workmanship as the rest of the LoadOut GoBox family (YETI LoadOut GoBox 15, LoadOut GoBox 30 & YETI LoadOut GoBox 60). Meant to take years of abuse, the compact storage box is built with YETI’s Defender II material (fancy talk for indestructible plastic) – it’s basically a tank for your pocket gear.

Ultra-Portable Design for On-the-Go Use

Measuring 9.9″ × 5.5″ × 2.9″ (25.3 × 13.9 × 7.4 cm) and weighing 1.7 pounds, the YETI GoBox 1 isn’t the lightest or smallest personal storage box out there, but it’s definitely one of the most practical based on the interior layout and tether system.

Tether, Trays, and PackAttic Storage: YETI Storage Box = Smart Organization

Attached to the small YETI LoadOut box is a tether strap that locks to your backpack, Side-by-Side frame, Jeep rails, or even kayak mounts for easy carry.

Inside the YETI gear case, you’ll find a removable tray for quick-access items like a phone. Under the removable cargo tray, this area can be used to store keys, a wallet, or survival items that can’t get wet. In the flexible Silicone Pack Attic, stow away thin items like hunting tags, fishing license, and ID. In the LoadOut GoBox waterproof container, everything has its place!

Keep Your Gear Safe on Outdoor Trips with YETI’s GoBox 1

Ever throw your keys into your pack only to have them land in the darkest of voids? Then spend precious time digging for them. Or how about blowing out the phone’s charging port from dust or water, because, hey, that pocket seemed like a good idea.

Did you know that most hikers lose or damage small essentials to the weather? It’s easy to see why pockets and packs aren’t made to protect from the elements.

With the GoBox 1 strapped to the outside of your pack, you can confidently stand in the river and fish for that trout, leaving behind the worries of wet gear. And, if you happen to run over the YETI gear box with your ATV (by accident, of course!), know that it will be ok since it’s backed by YETI’s IP rating and Wildproof Guarantee.

Price, Warranty, and Where To Buy: Is the YETI GoBox 1 Worth It?

With a five-year warranty, the YETI GoBox 1 price is a bit steep at $65 USD; however, it does come pretty close to personal waterproof containers from Pelican.

In the US, the GoBox 1 is available in 5 colours: Rescue Red, King Crab Orange, Black, Charcoal, and Tan. The seasonal colour is pace purple. Good news for Canadians, the YETI Go Box 1 gear case is also available in Canada for $85! By the way, it makes for a very thoughtful and practical gift for him or her for Valentine’s Day, Father’s Day, even Christmas. And, of course, it’s a YETI! 😉

YETI LoadOut GoBox 1 vs Pelican R40: Which Case Should You Choose?

Now, if you’re wondering how the GoBox 1 gear organizer stacks up against Pelican’s R40, it’s a fair question. The R40 boasts a higher IP68 rating, a lifetime warranty, and a clever MOLLE-style tray that keeps small gear super secure. For only about $5 more, that’s impressive for a dry box.

The YETI? Sleeker, smoother, and ready to tether to your kayak, pack, or ATV frame – something the Pelican skips entirely. YETI also nails the premium feel and brand consistency that the outdoorsy crowd loves. t’s a storage solution that looks at home on the trail and on your gear shelf. See the GoBox 1 at YETI here.

Our Take

Seeing the GoBox 1 in person, the build quality, tray and tether system stood out as useful touches. If that kind of everyday-carry matters more to you than an extra few points of IP rating, the GoBox 1 is the easy pick; if you want the highest waterproof rating and a lifetime warranty above all else, the R40 edges it out on paper.
