Compré 2 cajas de almacenamiento de este modelo, excelente material y calidad, como todos los artículos de esta marca, lo volvería a comprar

Un prodotto impressionante per la semplicità, la leggerezza e la robustezza, sebbene interamente in plastica, incluso le chiusure. Credo che ne acquisterò altri per i miei viaggi.

Great and sturdy tote tub. The box is rigid but the plastic is flexible. The lid is reinforced so I think you can sit on it, but I am kind of heavy, so I won't try. However a kid or a smaller person could without a problem. I love the black color, it blend with the inside of my trunk, so it is not screaming "box with something possibly valuable inside". The way the lid overlap the box, makes it rain proof. However it is not waterproof. If it get dunk in water, for example your canoe tip over and every thing is sent in the water, water will enter the tote. I will suggest then you put a big garbage bag inside the tote and put your gear in the bag. This way even if water get inside, your gear will remain dry and protected. Of course you can always get those super heavy duty waterproof totes named after a sea bird...But you will have to pay 10 times the price of this one. So far, I am using mine to stash my emergency gear. Currently I have the following items in my tote: Boosting cables (the 20 feet ones), traction aids, 12 volt air pump, emergency heavy duty space blanket, folding shovel, a 3 candles chandelier by UCO wrapped in a wool blanket, a camping alcohol stove with pots. I still have room for my towing cable and a small emergency medical kit. I am thinking of getting another one for putting a good set of cold weather clothing, mittens and boots in case I get stuck in the middle of nowhere in winter and I have to spend a long time in the car or walk back to civilization. This happened to my dad when I was a kid. We lived in the country, my father was coming back late at night from a Christmas party, and was taking the back logging roads for shortcut. He got stuck in a snow bank and couldn't get out. It was -25'C and he was about 10 miles from anywhere. It was past 1 AM and nobody drive in these roads at that time. He was only dress in his office clothes, with a light winter coat (enough to get from the parking lot to the office door) and ordinary leather shoes with low rubber overshoes. So he walks these 10 miles before arriving home half frozen. Good thing it was not a windy night. Since then he always packed a spare set a winter gear in his car. A good lesson for every one.

Plástico flojo

Uso il baule per contenere vestiti ed attrezzatura che carico nel cassone aperto del pickup quando vado a fare fuoristrada. Nonostante polvere, fango, pioggia / schizzi e ghiaccio, all'interno tutto e rimasto riparato e pulito. Magari non e' waterproof tanto da poter essere immersa in acqua, ma la pioggia e "secchiate" d'acqua durante attraversamento fiumi non hanno creato problemi.
