NEWS – It is no go getting to your destination and find that your gear, paperwork, life savings, etc. has been damaged or lost due to a poorly-constructed or built storage box.
To date, your best option for a rugged, waterproof case for your gear has been Pelican cases, but there is a new contender entering the arena.
YETI has answered the requests from their fans has created a line of non-insulated, rugged organizers to their already impressive lineup. The GoBox is the latest in this new Loadout line. The Yeti Loadout GoBox 30 takes the rugged exterior and gasket technology that has made their hard-side coolers so popular and adds organizers to make a go-box for your extraordinary and everyday adventures.
Measuring a generous 20.5″ long by 14.625″ wide by 11.125″ deep (exterior) and weighing in at 11.8 pound (empty), the GoBox includes a removable central divider, an organizer tray, and a lid organizer to help keep you organized. However, the GoBox forgoes insulation for storage space, so you will still need a place to keep your libations cool.
The four large rubber feet on the bottom of the GoBox nest inside the recessed area on the lid to allow you to safely stack multiple boxes together, if you are, like me, unable to travel lightly.
The GoBox 30 is available in 3 colors:
- tan
- white
- black
The Loadout GoBox 30 has a MSRP of $249.99. You can find the Loadout GoBox 30 at most full-line YETI dealers like REI or directly from YETI.

Yeti undoubtedly makes great gear, but, in general, their prices are out of control for products that are largely plastic and non-electronic. I look at their stuff on websites and in places like REI and just shake my head.
Check out the prices on Pelican shipping cases when you’re in the mood for sticker shock.
This does not mean that YETI’s profit margins are large.
Hi,
I’ve replied, but this last point just occurred to me: I might be trusting the fate of my 2000 DSLR, or a high-end piece of field audio equipment. With a Yeti, all I’m doing is securely keeping food/liquids cold. The former would be worth more to me.
This GoBox is more comparable to the Pelican cases, since it doesn’t have insulation.
Of course, it also doesn’t have any type of padding / cushioning / etc. either.
