Your Ultimate UTV Packing Guide
Plus, meet the only dustproof, waterproof SxS storage solution you’ll ever need.
Ready for that first crisp fall ride? We get it. As we all wait for the mid-summer heat to simmer down, let’s gear up and get a plan in place with even more storage options. Whether you’re riding your side-by-side solo or with family/friends, here’s a fuss-free packing list that goes beyond the basics. Sure, you know you need a case of cold drinks and a flashlight. But you can do better than that.
But First, Your UTV Has a Storage Problem.
Sport UTVs are a blast, but they’re notorious for limited storage. Without the spacious truck bed of work SxS, you’re stuck with a couple of small gloveboxes, cupholders, tiny compartments, and a small rear storage area (if you don’t have a spare tire taking up that space already). That’s a problem when you’re out on the trail for 6-12 hours, and a few small internal storage compartments just don’t cut it. Even after you add aftermarket side-by-side accessories like UTV storage bags or rear storage boxes, you’re still short on storage capacity.
Enter the RAVEK MOLLE Panel System

Meet the RAVEK MOLLE Universe — a revolutionary exterior side-by-side accessory system that creates completely new storage capacity where none existed before. These panels can massively increase your UTV’s exterior storage capacity--doubling as a dry bag--and fit seamlessly with any existing rear UTV storage or roll-bar mounted accessories you have already. Got a spare tire or fire extinguisher already mounted? No problem. MOLLE panels are mounted high enough above the roll bar to avoid clashing with any existing UTV accessories. Plus, the MOLLE Panels allow you to maintain a clear line of sight behind you, which has been a problem for riders in the past with some aftermarket SxS storage accessories.
Functional AND Convenient? It’s a Done Deal.
The RAVEK MOLLE panels are more accessible than traditional Sport UTV storage boxes at the back of your machine, so you can easily grab what you need, when you need it. Unlike cargo bins, which function like a trunk, MOLLE accessories are quick-detach, with zero confusing mounts. It’s a mobile cargo solution that’s both waterproof and dustproof, protecting your valuables, electronics, food, and beyond. When we ride, everything ends up being caked in dust pretty immediately - we wanted to create a storage solution that would keep things 100% dry and dust-free.
But the biggest advantage of the RAVEK MOLLE system is its modularity. Switch out accessories based on your needs for the day—easily attach a UTV storage bag, spare UTV fuel container, fire extinguisher mount, or any MOLLE accessory you already own. PLUS:
- Double Sport UTV Storage - Significantly boost storage capacity in your side-by-side with waterproof MOLLE bags, attachable fire extinguishers + fuel cans. Designed to be flexible and modular, ensuring you're always prepared.
- Easy, No-Drill Installation - The RAVEK MOLLE storage panels can be installed on your UTV in under 30 minutes without any drilling. Custom-engineered for each UTV fitment, they feature our exclusive "Rattle-Free Engineering" so you’re not adding any additional noise or rattling to your ride (there’s enough of that already)..
- Durable & Built to Last - Constructed from laser-cut ⅛” steel plates and coated with a corrosion-resistant powder finish, these UTV storage panels support up to 120 lbs. of load. Go ahead & ride hard—you can put MOLLE to the ultimate test.
Alright, Let’s Pack.
Once you’ve got your dustproof, waterproof MOLLE system in place, you’re ready to hit the trails. Here’s a list of must-bring items for your next UTV adventure:
- Flashlight
- Spare Belt
- Belt Changing Tools
- Jumper Pack
- Ratchet Strap/Tow Strap
- Patch Kit for Tires + Air Compressor
- Jump Start Pack
- Portable Cell Phone Charger: Solar-powered, perfect for multi-day trips.

- Ice: Yes, add directly to your MOLLE bag as a makeshift cooler.
- Water Purifier: Turn any water source into drinkable water, perfect for those long, off-grid adventures.
Family Add-Ons
Bringing the whole gang on your side-by-side ride? Although most adult riders truly enjoy the silence of nature, consider bringing activities to keep everyone (ie. the kids) engaged. They’ll get bored watching adults stand around, shooting the breeze, so get them involved and active. Here’s what our family-friendly UTV riders bring along:
- Quick on-the-go card games: Go Fish and UNO are favorites
- Footballs, baseballs & frisbees to throw around
- Toys like trucks, legos, and maybe even a Barbie or two
- Water shoes for catching crawfish, minnows & more
- Bonfire Supplies: Think hot dogs, s’mores, popcorn & the works
With the RAVEK MOLLE Panel System, you're not just packing; you're preparing for an epic UTV adventure. Ready to conquer the trails? Let's roll.
