Hoboroll by GobiGear
Compress Your Gear
You’ll find an abundance of travel advice about how to pack lighter for your worldwide travels. Often the advice involves you getting by with less. Pack fewer shirts, fewer pants, fewer underwear, fewer socks and so on. But wouldn’t it be nice to pack a smaller footprint while still bringing the same amount of swag? Impossible you say? Not with the Hoboroll from GobiGear. Remember those cartoons where they had a miracle shrinking ray? The evil villain pointed it at his nemesis (or a car or dinosaur or…) and the ubiquitous eerie sounds and wavy lines would spout forth from the shrink-ray gun and, poof, the shrink-ray recipient would be 1/10th the size as before. That’s kind of what the hobo roll does with your clothes and gear. It shrinks them down to a more manageable size. Now you can fit more into your backpack, suitcase, pannier or glovebox. But it goes one step further and also helps you organize your stuff. Here’s how it works:
Will it fit?
How to Use the Hoboroll Luggage Organizer
- Open the Hoboroll nice and wide so that you can see all five compartments.
- Start adding your travel items. (Clothing is ideal, but it works for other travel necessities too.)
- Separate your gear by compartment. So socks go in one, gloves & hat in another, etc.
- Once you’ve got everything in, cinch up the ends of the Hoboroll by pulling on the outside

cords.
- Next, it’s time for the magic shrinking ray. Just snap the two strap buckles together, then pull tight on the straps until your HoboRoll is about half the size as it originally was.
- You’ll be amazed by how much time and space you’re going to save in your luggage with the condensing and organizing power of the Hoboroll by GobiGear.

For short excursions, the Hoboroll may be all the luggage you need. It has plenty of room for most of your necessities on a short voyage of just a day or two. But for most of your travel needs, the Hoboroll provides you with a method for condensing and organizing the stuff that you pack into your luggage. Once the Hoboroll has been filled and bound, it fits neatly and compactly into almost any luggage, daypack or backpack. And because of the five different segments in the Hoboroll, you’ll easily be able to find what you need. Here are some examples of ways that you can use the Hoboroll for active travel tours, regular travel or adventure travel vacations:
- bike trips – The Hoboroll fits nicely in most panniers including the top compartment and the side-saddles.

- backpacking – The Hoboroll is perfect for fitting lots of clothing in a small nook of your pack.
- personal transportation vehicles (PTVs) – The Hoboroll slips right into most storage compartments including the Glovebox of your Trikke. (See photo below.)
- skiing trips – The Hoboroll is ideal for helping you organize and transport your volumes of ski gear. Instead of making extra trips to and from your car, you can easily load all your gloves, extra socks, hats, snacks and other ski accoutrements into the Hoboroll, hang it on the doorknob so that you don’t forget it when you leave and just make one trip to the car or ski lodge with everything you need. It frees up your hands for carrying your skis, boots, poles, snowboard or Trikke Skki. It’s great for cross-country ski trips and snowshoe trips also.
