Same as the Original. Just bigger and better in every way.
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.

Why the wait? Quality takes time. Each piece is built from scratch just for you
Give your milk crate an upgrade. I've sourced authentic DuPont™ Tyvek® HomeWrap® straight from local construction sites and repurposed 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 virtually impossible 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 seals tight to keep your belongings dry.
Universal Fit: Designed to fit around any standard size milk crate, or 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.
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 inside of the bag, 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.

Made to Order
Once an order comes in, the roll comes off the rack and I get to work. Creating every product on this website stitch by stitch, including all the packaging that you see when it shows up on your doorstep. Then the shipping process starts which generally takes around a week. With all of this considered the lead times are generally 1-3 weeks before it makes it to your doorstep. I do my best to make sure every order arrives perfect but I am a small business with limited resources, thank you for your patience and trusting in the process.
