Haul Your Stuff With The Gear Tick

Posted by John Goulden Categories: Transportation

So you’ve come to the point where you recognize you have a dillema.  You went with a smaller car for the fuel savings benefit, but have come to realize that it really doesn’t hold very much in the way of cargo.  In fact, by the time your and your golfing buddy cram into it, your clubs are more of an afterthought.  About your only option, short of getting a bigger vehicle, is some kind of external storage container.  Sadly, most cargo carriers look like throwbacks to the Styrofoam hamburger boxes from fast food joints of yesteryear, but not the Gear Tick. 

The Gear Tick is brought to you by the crew over at Coil, Inc. on a mission to save you from aesthetic suicide, while simultaneously providing room for all sorts of gear.  Unlike a standard cargo carrier, the Gear Tick doesn’t require a master’s degree in engineering to attach it to your vehicle, nor does it take forever for said process.  Rather, it makes use of the roof rack you may already have, and requires less than ten seconds to attach or detach.  Yeah, you read that correctly - ten seconds.

At 51” long x 15.5” wide x 15.5” tall it’s quite roomy, but is nicely streamlined so that its additional bulk doesn’t clobber your fuel mileage.  Did we mention sturdy?  The Gear Tick is born from the same material kayaks are made of and it should withstand the rigors of daily travel with ease.

The Gear Tick can be yours for $299 from the manufacturer’s website.
