Learn how to personalize your RUX bag with modular accessories like packing cubes, pockets, and rails. Transform your carry for any adventure.

Your RUX bag is more than just a durable carryall—it's a modular system designed to adapt to your lifestyle. Whether you're heading to the office, the gym, or a weekend camping trip, adding the right accessories can transform your bag into a perfectly organized companion. In this guide, we'll walk through the most effective ways to customize your RUX bag using official components, from packing cubes to utility rails.

RUX accessories are built to integrate seamlessly with your bag's internal and external attachment points. Instead of settling for a one-size-fits-all layout, you can tailor your bag's storage to match your gear. Let's explore the key accessories and how to use them.

Maximize Internal Organization with Packing Cubes

Packing cubes are the foundation of any well-organized bag. RUX offers several sizes to fit different needs. The Packing Cube 10L Ultra is a lightweight, waterproof option that keeps your clothes dry and compressed. For a more budget-friendly choice, the standard Packing Cube (10L) provides the same dimensions without the ultra fabric. Both cubes fit perfectly inside your RUX bag's main compartment, allowing you to separate clean clothes from dirty gear or categorize items by type.

To get the most out of your cubes, use them in combination. Place a Packing Cube 10L Ultra for bulky items like sweaters and a smaller Packing Pocket 2L Ultra for electronics or toiletries. The ultra fabric's transparency lets you see contents at a glance, saving time during security checks or quick outfit changes.

  • Use the Packing Cube 10L Ultra for compressible clothing to save space.
  • Pair it with the Packing Pocket 2L Ultra for small essentials like chargers and cables.

Add External Storage with Pockets and Rails

RUX bags feature MOLLE-compatible webbing and rail systems that let you attach pockets and accessories externally. The Pocket (3L) is a compact organizer that clips onto your bag's front or side straps, perfect for items you need quick access to—like a phone, wallet, or snacks. Its slim profile doesn't add bulk, and the transparent window makes it easy to find what you need.

For heavier gear, the Utility Rail 300mm provides a sturdy mounting point. Attach it to the bag's front webbing, then use the rail to hang items like a hat or a small pouch. The rail's aluminum construction supports up to several kilograms, making it ideal for outdoor adventures where you need to carry extra water bottles or tools.

  • Attach the Pocket (3L) to the front webbing for instant access to daily essentials.
  • Mount the Utility Rail 300mm to carry bulky items like a rolled jacket or a tripod.

Enhance Comfort and Security with Straps and Lids

Customizing your bag isn't just about storage—it's also about comfort and protection. The Shoulder Strap (Pair) replaces the standard straps with padded, ergonomic versions that distribute weight evenly. If you carry heavy loads, this upgrade can make a noticeable difference during long walks or commutes.

For added security, consider the Tri-Fold Lid. This accessory replaces the standard roll-top closure, giving you quick access to your bag's main compartment without unrolling the entire top. It also includes a zippered pocket for small valuables. Pair it with Compression Straps (Pair) to cinch down your load and prevent shifting during transit.

  • Upgrade to the Shoulder Strap (Pair) for better weight distribution on heavy loads.
  • Use the Tri-Fold Lid for faster access and an extra zippered pocket.

Create a Modular Setup for Specific Activities

One of the greatest advantages of the RUX system is its adaptability. You can configure your bag differently for each trip. For a day hike, attach a Packing Cube 10L Ultra for snacks and a Pocket (3L) for your phone and map. For a business trip, use the Packing Pocket 2L Ultra for tech gear and the Tri-Fold Lid for quick laptop access.

Experiment with different combinations to find what works for you. The Duffel Box 55L is a great companion for longer trips, offering a structured interior that pairs well with cubes and pockets. Remember, the goal is to create a setup that minimizes clutter and maximizes efficiency.

  • For hiking: Packing Cube 10L Ultra + Pocket (3L) + Utility Rail 300mm.
  • For travel: Packing Pocket 2L Ultra + Tri-Fold Lid + Compression Straps (Pair).

Customizing your RUX bag is a simple way to make it truly yours. Start with one or two accessories and build your setup over time. Whether you need more organization, comfort, or quick access, there's a RUX accessory for the job. Explore the Packing Cube 10L Ultra to begin your customization journey.
