The Trekology 16L is a 3-in-1 tool that functions as a leak-proof basin, a carry basket, and a small tabletop. It is built using a dual-injection mold process that combines high-density Polypropylene (PP) with Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR). The wall thickness is tapered from 2.2mm to 2.8mm, a feature designed to help prevent material fatigue after many folding cycles. The lid includes an integrated leg system that creates an elevated surface capable of supporting about 10-12 lbs of static weight, providing a stable spot for drinks or electronics on soft ground.
Specifications show a 16L volume, which is a practical size for two people during a road trip or camping excursion. Because the TPR seams are heat-welded, the unit maintains watertight integrity, making it useful as a wash basin or ice bucket. However, since the PP base is not insulated, tests show that thermal transfer is high; adding a thin foam insert at the bottom can help monitor and extend the life of your ice during use. The unit collapses to 3.5 inches, making it a helpful addition to over-landing kits or small vehicle trunks.
- The integrated flip-out table legs include stiffeners to ensure a stable surface.
- Weight the bottom of the bucket to provide the best stability when using the lid as a table.
- The non-porous materials allow for quick cleaning and resistance to mold.
This unit is built to handle daily household and outdoor use, offering more versatility than a standard bucket. It effectively replaces several separate items, helping to reduce the amount of gear needed for a simple outing.
For those who need a larger, stackable storage solution with side-door access, the TOEEBR 30L storage bin provides an alternative organizational style.
