Australia has some of the harshest weather in the world, throwing everything from scorching heat to torrential rain at 4WDing and camping enthusiasts. That’s why, when it comes to storing your camping gear, a weatherproof storage box is essential.
It’s important to protect your gear, whether you’re embarking on a 4WDing expedition or stashing your tents, rods and recovery kit in your shed. Fortunately, the Australian-made Expedition134 storage box is designed to withstand Australia’s toughest conditions.
Here are a few things to love about the Expedition134 storage boxes from Open Sky Touring.
The weather, dust and rust proof design
The Expedition134 sets itself apart from other storage boxes with a custom weather seal that stops water droplets and dust particles in their tracks. The well-designed lid ensures efficient drainage, while the protective ridge wards off dust and debris when your box is exposed to the elements.
There are also no metal components, making rust and corrosion a non-issue. The all-plastic design also means no irritating rattles as you bump along your favourite outback tracks.
Ant and animal proof
There’s nothing worse than an ant invasion in the food box or a mouse-chewed loaf of bread. Not only does the Expedition134 keep out water and dust, it also repels rodents, insects and other unwanted pests. If you need to clean your lockable storage box, simply give it a good hose or scrub, then leave it to dry in the sun.

High-quality, injection moulding design
The precision injection moulding process used to manufacture the Expedition134 is designed to withstand even the hairiest of 4WDing tracks. When they’re not in your 4WD or trailer, the weatherproof storage boxes hold up against high temperatures without fading, cracking or flaking. This is great if you store your gear in a shed or garage. These can heat up fast in summer and degrade low-quality plastics.
Heavy load capacity
The Expedition134 may be lightweight, but it doesn’t compromise on grunt. It has a lid-load capacity of 120 kilograms and is designed for stacking. The heavy-duty plastic storage boxes also feature specially designed lids that lock into place to prevent slips and slides.

OPEN SKY TOURING REVIEWS
from 97 reviewsOrdered this box after seeing so many positive reviews of the Expedition 134 box. And it doesn't disappoint! What an outstanding, Australian made product. Not only is it tough and durable it looks the bomb as well. Will be getting another one for sure! Can't recommend enough.
Recently bought a pink storage box after buying 3 last year. It’s just as tough and perfect as my previous ones. I’ll continue buying these awesome boxes to go into my new trailer project.
Great product! Love using them and would highly recommend to anyone
Easy to use, and great value
Great product and well made
Does just what it says on the box! (bad dad joke there...) Great to now have 3 of these in my collection.
Survival Snake Bite Kit™
Purchased the Expedition 134 to use for the wife's scent hound business. The dogs are used to find truffles, so not only does the box store all the harnesses and other dog gear, any booty located also goes into the box, safe and secure. Great product indeed..
Great kit. Saw on Pat Calligan’s show and immediately bought. This will definitely save a life from snake bite. The pressure bandage has markers to show how tight to wrap. So clever.
One of the best products I have used in my forty plus years of camping very well made and waterproof. It’s a pleasure to do business with a great Aussie company.
Survival Snake Bite Kit™
Very happy with the boxes. Def can hold adult standing on lid and solid latches. Easy to hose out and dust and water proof for 4WD trips!
I am impressed with the rigidity and quality of the box. it's worth every cent!
These boxes are exactly what I wanted! Delivered on time, great quality and great price! Thanks Open Sky team!
This is my 5th box and they’re fantastic. Will be the replacement for my drawer system in my Landcruiser to keep weight down. They are the ideal combination of size and manageable to handle when full.
