The Ottertex® Canvas Roll-Top Milk Crate Cover
Stop letting your gear bounce around like a bag of loose parts. The Ottertex 600D Roll-Top cover keeps your stuff dry, secure, and contained—whether you're dodging raindrops on the bike or throwing it in the trunk, fully loaded with emergency gear. It’s got adjustable side buckles to cinch it down tight, and D-clips hidden underneath so you can strap it to anything your pretty little heart desires.
These roll-top covers are designed to keep rain, hail, sleet, and snow out. They are not meant to be submerged and are not “waterproof”. The material it’s made from IS “Waterproof”.
Available in Green, Brown, Cream, and Black.
Hand-made by me, for you.
I am very busy and restocks are very sporadic, the best way to know when products will be available is to keep an eye out for updates on the Instagram. Thank you.

The V2 has a few notable changes from the previous version. Some tweaks to the zipper design makes snags mostly a thing of the past. Corners now have an additional backing to improve durability, stiffen it up, and improve overall look. In addition there is longer pull tabs for a better grip when closing the lid.

*Milk Crate Not Included
Give your milk crate an upgrade. I've sourced authentic DuPont™ Tyvek® HomeWrap® straight from local construction sites and second hand stores to repurpose it into the ultimate weather-resistant cargo bag. Known in the hiking community for its incredible strength-to-weight ratio, Tyvek is naturally waterproof and tough to rip—making it the perfect shield for your gear against rain, mud, and road grit.
Why You’ll Love It:
Upcycled Performance: Each bag is handmade from recycled construction materials, giving "waste" a second life on your rack.
Roll-Top Versatility: The adjustable roll-top design with a secure dual-buckle closure expands for big hauls and rolls tight to keep your belongings dry.
Universal Fit: Designed to fit around any standard size milk crate, mount it to your rear rack and ride with confidence.
Indestructible yet Light: It has that classic "paper-like" Tyvek crinkle, but don't let that fool you—it’s engineered to withstand the harshest elements. The best part is it weathers like waxed canvas, each crinkle tells a tale.
Now with D-rings for mounting: With the addition of D-rings to the lower portion of the buckle and velcro straps, to attach to the milkcrate, you can now securely strap the bag to any rack, big or small.
Ride for a Cause
Your purchase does more than keep your groceries dry. A portion of every sale is donated directly to plastic cleanup efforts across the Upper Mississippi and the Great Lakes, protecting the waterways we love to ride alongside.
