Best For: Lightweight gear duffel In 2016, we launched the most utilized and essential in-the-field gear bags in the KUIU travel lineup: the Taku Bags. Lightweight, weatherproof, and durable, their versatility and hard-shell gear protection made them indispensable for hunts around the globe. Whether by plane, boat, truck, UTV, ATV, horseback, or any other mode of transport, they kept your gear protected, dry, and clean. The new Taku BLSTX bags elevate this legendary performance with upgraded materials, enhanced design, and optimized sizes—all at a reduced weight. Featuring a new 840-denier ballistic (BLSTX) nylon with fully seam-taped construction, these bags offer superior abrasion resistance, water-resistance, and dustproof protection. Equipped with water-resistant Aquaguard zippers with extended lengths, these bags keep contents clean and dry while simplifying the gear loading and unloading process. Heavy-duty handles on all sides ensure easy grabbing and maneuvering. Rounded edges and removable shoulder straps with improved functionality allow effortless loading into tight spaces. The 4200 model accommodates bulky gear while doubling as a large carry-on for flights. It’s the ideal all-purpose size for gear storage and transport, fitting seamlessly into horse panniers or the belly of a Super Cub. The 10000 model is designed to hold a fully loaded 6000–8000 cubic-inch KUIU pack, plus boots and camp gear. *For 100% waterproof and submersible bags, check out our Kodiak lineup.
