In this YETI GoBox 60 Gear Case review, we explore why this rugged, waterproof gear case is a favorite among paddlers and outdoor enthusiasts. Our PaddlingLife testers relied on the YETI GoBox 60 as a kitchen box during whitewater rafting trips supporting groups of 25+ rafters—and it exceeded expectations on every front.

Waterproof and Ultra-Durable Construction

The YETI GoBox 60 features a durable, rotomolded construction designed to withstand the harshest conditions. This gear case is completely waterproof and boasts a heavy-duty rubber gasket that creates a watertight seal, protecting contents from water, dirt, and dust. Its robust design means it can handle being stood or even sat upon without damage—making it a perfect multipurpose storage solution on any raft or outdoor excursion.

Smart Organization with Removable Trays and Dividers

Organization is a kept simple with the GoBox 60’s removable trays and adjustable dividers that keep gear neatly separated and easily accessible. The integrated soft bag with multiple zippered pouches mounted in the lid adds extra storage options for smaller essentials, enhancing the overall functionality of this gear case.

Built for Convenience and Versatility

This case’s locking lid offers secure storage, and the rugged T-latches ensure it stays firmly closed through rugged use. The box’s compact yet spacious 60-quart capacity fits all the gear needed for a large group, making it ideal as a kitchen box or general gear organizer for rafting, camping, and more.

The only minor drawback noted by our testers was the limited built-in tie-down points, which made securing the GoBox during transport a little challenging. Adding more built-in strap points could enhance this feature.

Final Verdict: Is the YETI GoBox 60 Gear Case Worth It?

Our YETI GoBox 60 Gear Case review confirms it’s a top-tier waterproof gear organizer built to last. It’s perfect for paddlers, campers, or anyone needing a durable, organized, and waterproof storage solution. If you want a versatile gear box that can endure tough outdoor environments and keep your supplies safe and organized, the YETI GoBox 60 is a solid investment.
