FORTEM Car Boot Organiser (65L) – collapsible multi-compartment trunk storage with straps

If your SUV or boot always turns into a jumble of bags and loose bits, the FORTEM Car Boot Organiser is aimed at giving you a more deliberate layout. It’s a storage box-style organiser for the trunk/boot, designed to stay put with non-slip backing and adjustable securing straps.

It’s not perfect for every situation. On paper, it fits best when you want compartmentalised storage and the option to collapse and move things around inside the car—rather than treating it as a rigid, permanent boot installation.

Key takeaways

This is a collapsible car organiser with a reinforced box-style build, multiple storage sections, and a foldable/removable lid to keep items out of sight. You also get mesh side storage and pockets with lids, plus a non-slip base and straps so it doesn’t drift about when the car moves.

The practical idea is simple: fewer items rolling around, more small parts (groceries, office bits, accessories, kid’s toys) staying where you put them. If you often share a car for work, school runs, or weekend errands, it can make the boot feel less chaotic.

The essentials (and what to know first)

The organiser is described as having a sturdy box design with rigid base plates supporting the back and side panels. That matters because many “soft bag” organisers sag or collapse when you load and unload them quickly. Here, the structure is meant to keep its shape and make compartments easier to use.

It also includes waterproof coverage for the bottom half. That’s a sensible detail if you regularly put down shopping bags, wet items, or damp gear (think muddy shoes or a rain-soaked umbrella). Just bear in mind that waterproofing on the bottom half doesn’t automatically mean the whole organiser is weatherproof in every scenario—so it’s still worth thinking about how you store anything that’s very wet.

Where it shines for everyday storage

A big part of the appeal is the multi-compartment approach. You get multiple side pockets and “up to 3 compartments”, plus mesh siding for smaller items and pockets with lids. In day-to-day terms, that can mean separating:

• smaller grab-and-go items so they don’t vanish at the bottom of the boot
• items you don’t want visible, thanks to the detachable/ foldable lid
• slightly larger bits that still benefit from some structure

There’s also an option mentioned to connect two or more boot organisers with interlocking buckles, which is useful if you find yourself needing extra volume for bigger trips.

Pros

• Reinforced, rigid base plates designed to support the sides and help the organiser hold its shape
• Non-slip strips and adjustable securing straps to keep it from sliding around
• Waterproof bottom half for better handling of damp or messy items
• Multiple compartments and mesh side storage, not just one open space
• Foldable, detachable lid for a bit of added discretion

Cons / limitations to consider

• It’s designed to collapse down to “1 compartment”, so if you’re looking for a permanently fixed, fully rigid layout, you may prefer a non-collapsible organiser.
• Straps help with stability, but how well it stays in place will still depend on your trunk/boot shape and how you route the straps.
• It “consolidates the mess”, but if you need dedicated storage for very specific items (for example, deep organiser trays or tool-style compartments), you may find this more of a practical general-purpose tidy than a specialist system.

Who it’s for (and who should skip it)

It makes sense if you want a structured boot tidy for an SUV or larger vehicle, and you regularly transport mixed items like groceries, office supplies, accessories, shoes, or kid’s toys. You’ll likely appreciate it most if you drive often enough that boot clutter becomes a recurring annoyance, and you want something that can be secured during transit.

It may not suit you if you mainly need a super-lightweight grab bag, or if you want a completely rigid, never-moves setup. And if your vehicle’s boot shape doesn’t let straps secure comfortably, the benefits of “stays in place” could feel less convincing.

¿Merece la pena? Worth buying?

Worth it, especially if your goal is day-to-day tidying: compartments for separation, straps and non-slip backing for stability, and a removable lid to keep things out of sight. The waterproof bottom half is a nice practical touch for the messy realities of a car boot.

However, if you rarely organise your boot or you don’t want the hassle of fitting straps and repositioning compartments, it can end up feeling like overkill. On paper, it’s best viewed as a functional organiser that aims to reduce clutter rather than as an all-out storage solution for every conceivable use.

Practical example

Say you’re heading to the supermarket. You can keep heavier shopping bags and bulk items in the main sections, smaller items in mesh side areas, and use the lid to cover anything you’d rather not see through the window. When you get home, you can collapse it down to a single compartment and move it to the garage or another spot for temporary storage.

Quick FAQ

Can it be used outside the boot?

Yes, it’s described as collapsible so you can move it to the backseat, front seat, or centre of the vehicle.

Does the lid fully protect items from view?

The detachable/foldable lid is intended to keep goods out of sight. It’s not described as lockable, so it’s more “privacy cover” than security-grade protection.

Is the whole organiser waterproof?

Only the bottom half is described as waterproof. That’s useful for damp items, but you should still be mindful with very wet loads.

Will it fit any car?

The description suggests it’s suitable for different trunk sizes (SUV, truck, sedan). Still, it’s wise to check your boot dimensions and how straps can be secured for your specific vehicle shape.

Does it come with compartments built in?

It’s described as having multiple side pockets and up to 3 compartments, plus mesh siding storage and pockets with lids. When collapsed, it becomes a single-compartment organiser.
