What do you use?
Im after one large enough for a helmet, shoes, clothes, bottles etc. Bonus if it has a rigid lid so I can stack stuff on it.

An IKEA bag, so not very organised. Sorry.

Ah, thought this was going to be a thread requesting that they don’t have their car boots on weekday mornings, so us normal folk don’t get stuck behind the absolute numpties going to/coming out of car boots during morning commutes.

Flutes!

A garden trug, builders bucket or IKEA type bag for riding kit depending on time of year/extent of hideous muddy horror I'm likely to be bringing back to the car.

I use a massive gym bag a mate left behind when emigrating. Shoe pocket, expanding dirty clothes pocket at the other end and the middle is big enough for a 3 days of riding clothes or normal amount of junk with a helmet.

Sounds like you are describing a lagged plastic box with a lid? I have a bunch of large IKEA ones for garage junk. Your boot would have to be massive to get something on top of them

If you want a lid, then the "really useful box"es are actually really useful....!

Sold in various places but definitely in homebase, come in all different sizes

I’d request they didn’t let punters in before the advertised opening time. And it can’t be beyond them to stop the sale of counterfeit perfume and vapes can it?

Indeed, we use them for the canoe kit both for travel in car and for long term storage.

Trugs are handy for filthy kit.

Mostly use a trug as it can also be squashed to fit a gap.

Look up Euro Crates as a tougher alternative to Really Useful Boxes. Get a shallow tray rather than a lid if you want to regularly use it as a step.
