History/Story of Red Oxx Manufacturing

Red Oxx was founded in 1986 by a pair of U.S. military veterans who wanted to build rugged, reliable gear for travelers and outdoor enthusiasts. What began as a small sewing operation has grown into a globally recognized brand for handmade travel bags that last a lifetime.

Based in Billings, Montana, Red Oxx continues to operate entirely in the United States, employing local craftspeople and maintaining its “No Bull” lifetime warranty. The company’s mission reflects Montana values — hard work, honesty, and quality you can trust.
