Some experienced off-road riders may object, how can I know if I do not own an ATV. Yes, I never have my own ATV but I know a dozen owners, and I have been riding ATV trails quite a lot.
One of the reasons why I have quite a lot ATV and snowmobile owner friends is the present website and popularity of posts about GPS for ATV trails and GPS for snowmobiles.
I decided to write the short review of ATV storage box seats and talk with off road club members to share their experience of it. Actually, I wasn’t surprised when did not receive completely identical assessments.
None of them said that this accessory is useless, but there are situations and conditions when a storage box seat could hinder safe driving. Not only does it make it difficult to drive, but it will damage the quad.
Not a very encouraging start, right?
Actually, it’s not so bad at all, because such situations are not so frequently and no one prevents you from removing the box when you are driving solo on two-up seat ATVs.
Partly I would agree that there is a greater load on the rear axle and shock absorbers. In my opinion, while driving two up, usually there is no race, but enjoying nature wherever the four-wheel drive or even hiking cannot be accessed. So you will try to avoid big bumps on high speed, but your passenger feels a bit more comfortable on a long ATV trail sitting on seat box cushions.
Anyway, but any kind of ATV storage boxes are in high demand, and no matter is it front cargo box or big rear combined storage seat box, people are buying them rather actively.
Let’s take a look what the market is offering.
As far as I am not an owner of any the big Google can help me to find out. I spent hours on reading websites, forums, and my favorite Amazon verified customers reviews. Even more, I contacted to real ATV guys to say their point of view and thoughts on the particular item.
What I found that there are several big names in this niche and realized that Wes Industries ATV storage box seats are very popular.
Let’s look at Wes Standard Storage Box And Seat Black WES Industries WS2500-OCP.
What is the main goal of this accessory?
Additional storage space, durability, water tightness, comfortable sitting of the passenger, to not interfere for the driver, price, mounting and replacing features and design as well.
What customers say about the given Wes Industries product.
„This is an excellent product I am shocked by how well this actually holds up, I honestly thought when ordering this that it wasn’t going to be that good. When riding a second passenger it completely stabilizes there weight so you don’t have to counteract them when in the trails. I ride a polaris sportsman 570, I’ve ridden close to 500 miles with a second passenger on this seat no problems as of yet.“
At the moment of writing, this item has 4.6 out of 5 stars Amazon rating.
If honestly, my first attention was on Quadboss ATV storage boxes, but after reading some reviews, I decided to look for something else. What are the rivals to Wes Industries and Quadboss?

And here is Yesterday’s review
„Much better value than the QuadBoss unit. Only minor complaint is that the bolts stick up into the storage space…they should have at least provides silicon caps to stop these from tearing into items stored there. Locking compartment is a nice feature. Only other thing I would suggest is to buy ~15′ of foam weatherstripping to make your storage mostly dustproof when the lid clamps down on it“

Need to hide your helmets, then go to Kolpin ATV Rear Helmet Box.
A big number of reviews (more than 200) with overall ranking 4.2 out of 5 stars. I noticed a five-year-old review and many riders had bought this ATV storage box seat. I guess that it is a good quality indicator.
I guess that there are some other unnamed by me ATV storage box seats producers out there. Which one the best fit for you is only your choice based on experience and needs.

Interesting article here. I am not an ATV owner but been on it in a few occasions. It does compliment the machine if you have more storage option and best to have the seat available too. My friends who own this machine would love to consider some of the products that you have introduced here. Already shared this article with my mates.
Hi, and thanks for stopping by and sharing my post with your friends. Actually, I noticed an interesting fact when contacting with local ATV and snowmobile club members. Some of them the first heard about storage box seats, and some are even going to buy it now. Unfortunately, in my country, there are many fewer offers, but Amazon does not ship many items to Latvia, but European Amazon branches have very small offers for this product.
Those storage boxes are very cool! Growing up, my older brother had a large 4×4 ATV with racks on the back and front. We used to ride that thing all over. I never thought of storage racks for the back. What a great idea! If we had one of those we could have packed up and gone for even longer rides.
Thanks Ryan for stopping by. I think that storage box is a must-have accessory for ATV or snowmobile for longer trails. I like those with a place for the spare gas can.
Thank you for the review. As an avid outdoorsman and a hunter I find great joy in making my time enjoyable and fun. I’ve ridden many ATV’s for fun as well as utility. In some cases I’ve had passengers on the back for trail riding. Seeing what these storage cases has to offer makes me want one even more. I know my passenger would feel more comfortable on longer rides and the storage looks amazing. Nice review and thanks again for sharing!
Thanks Luke for stopping by. For me, a storage box seat is a great invention. When you use the quad for active racing then sometimes even any seat not needed but trailing to enjoy forests and hills the comfort is essential.
One of the biggest problems I have been having with my ATV is keeping my sons in the seat as we ride. When I first heard about these ATV storage boxes / lounge seats, I wasn’t sure which one would suit my needs best. After reading your review, I think I like the Camco Black Bore. Do you know if any of these come with electronics installed, like phone chargers or seat heaters? Thank you for this comprehensive review… I found it very helpful.

Thanks, Clay for the comment.
Camco Black Boar ATV storage box seat is a smart choice durable and easy attachable. I am not sure that any comes from a factory with installed heating, USB charger or AUX output. But you can fit seats with an infrared heating pad and DIY for phone charging.
