The Straw Kit

United By Blue Straw Kit | Recycled Travel Case & Stainless Steel Sustainable Utility: The Sundries Standard Original gear for the forest, the field, and the journey home. We believe in small, intentional changes that have a large-scale impact. The Straw Kit was selected for our Sundries collection because it provides a disciplined, high-quality solution to the problem of single-use plastics. The Selection: Impact You Can Measure At Kempain Family Outfitters, we prioritize gear that supports the health of the waterways we love to fish and explore. We chose United By Blue because of their uncompromising commitment: for every product sold, they remove one pound of trash from our oceans and rivers. This isn't just a travel kit; it’s a measurable contribution to environmental conservation. "Personally, I do not use straws at all," says Jordan. "But my wife and son do, so packing one is an essential item for our family outings. I do not want to be wasteful, and this kit solves that problem with materials that actually last. As a designer, I appreciate the utility of the recycled ripstop case—it’s a small, honest item that helps us all make a smaller imprint on the places we explore". The Material Manifesto: Responsible Durable Goods 100% Recycled Polyester Case: Crafted from roughly two recycled plastic bottles, the case features a water-resistant DWR finish. It is engineered to handle the rigors of a daily pack or a wet boat deck. Heritage-Grade Stainless Steel: Includes two 8.5" stainless steel straws designed to fit most standard tumblers and travel mugs. Unlike plastic or bamboo, these are built for a lifetime of use. Disciplined Hygiene: The kit is provided with a dedicated bristled cleaning brush and a soft silicone bendy tip for comfort. The interior lining of the case is specifically engineered to separate clean and used straws, protecting the rest of your gear.
