Red Oxx was formed in 1986 by former Vietnam Veteran James Markel Senior. When he retired he moved to Billings, Montana and began making weight lifting straps for his body building hobby. Soon he was selling them to local gyms and it was time to hire on number one son Jim Jr. who was just exiting the Marine Corps himself. When the national offshoring of lifting products struck in the hearly 90s, Jim Jr., now the company CEO, moved production from straps to bags, fueled by a failure in the field of a brand-name purchased bag. Recognizing a large market for travel bags, Jim invested in with the help of former Navy Veteran Perry Jones, now production floor President and started our online website direct-to-consumer business model. SInce then Red Oxx has moved their factory from Jim Senior's kitchen to it's current eight iteration, a thoroughly modern production facility located a block from the retail showroom in Billings' north side. Red Oxx sources 98%+ of our gear building supplies from American companies. All our gear is backed by our famous "No Bull" Lifetime Warranty.

Awesome grip, had a Tough Bag and the Red Oxx is by far a superior product. Big rugged zippers, heavy duty fabric and lots of room for everything I carry and more!

why Trust Verified Reviews?
Verified Reviews are real, authentic reviews collected from actual paying customers, using Shopper Approved's Verified Review Platform. When reviews are Verified by Shopper Approved, you know that you can trust them to make better buying decisions.
Unverified Reviews on the other hand, are reviews collected by Open Review platforms that allow anyone to leave a review, without any validation or proof of purchase. Unfortunately, most reviews you read online are Unverified Reviews, and can't be trusted.
As a consumer, here's how you can tell the difference:
Verified Reviews from Verified Review Platforms like Shopper Approved, have much higher review counts and higher overall Star ratings, because they attempt to collect reviews from every single paying customer.
Unverified Reviews from Open Review Platforms, tend to have much lower review counts and more negative Star ratings, because people with bad experiences are primarily those who leave reviews. This often creates a misleading, inaccurate portrayal of a companies true reputation.
So, when searching for Verified Reviews, look for the name you know you can trust. Shopper Approved.
