FROM THE FERTILE MIND OF CALEB CRYE COMES A NEW SOLUTION FOR THOSE WHO WANT TO TRANSPORT EXPENSIVE GEAR AND KEEP IT OUT OF THE DIRT

The LOFT Station 150 allows the user to haul a ton of kit, then converts in seconds into a field workstation to allow access while still giving protection from elements. With an internal volume of 149 liters, it’s got plenty of room to accommodate everything from plate carriers, to guns, camera gear, drones, and camping equipment, yet at the push of a button two folding legs deploy to create a waist-height table. 

You can then either use it as a convenient way to access essential equipment and keep it out of the dirt, or reconfigure it to a workbench, using the included folding hard shelf. 

Big enough for the bulkiest gear, the LOFT 150 is a versatile way to keep your kit clean and organized.

There’s no skimping on materials, as the body is made from double-layered PU-coated nylon wrapped around polycarbonate reinforcement panels. Zippers are YKK #10, the wheels it rolls on are 5 inches in diameter, capable of handling rough terrain, and the legs are made from custom 6061 alloy extrusions. 

Despite offering much more functionality than a conventional duffel, it’s only a pound or so heavier, so it takes up less of your precious airline allowance, plus it addresses one of the most annoying features of rolling luggage. We’ve all no doubt experienced the joys of dragging a Pelican case full of guns through an airport terminal, only to have the corner of the case dig into the back of your leg with every other step. 

The LOFT Station 150’s drag handles have been relocated to the corners, giving enough offset to make this a non-issue. 

Due to the necessity of saving weight, we were initially skeptical about the legs’ durability, but so far it’s taken everything we’ve thrown at it. It’s not really stable enough to serve as a shooting bench, and if you’re familiar with Crye gear, you’ll already be prepared for it be expensive ($650 currently on Kickstarter), but for hauling and managing gear, it’s the best solution we’ve found so far.
