What are you using for long-term clothing storage?

I'm trying to move to a 24/7 overlanding setup where I'm basically converting my entire life to being nomadic.

Six months in the US and six months overseas. While I'm in the US, I'm overlanding out of my Tacoma.

The biggest challenge I have right now is clothing, and I'm trying to find a decent solution for how to store my clothing.

Up until now, I've used two duffel bags and then individual storage bags inside the duffel bag.

This is the individual storage bags I use. There are a bunch of cheap knock-offs of this, and I just bought something cheap.

I'm going to be storing my clothes in the back seat of my Tacoma. It needs to be in a soft bag because I don’t put hard bags in the back seat of my truck. I don’t want them flying around if there’s an accident.

That's better than nothing but it's still somewhat disorganized.

There are a couple products I'm looking at that are designed for this:

These Duffel boxes look really well thought out. The only problem is they are SUPER expensive. It looks like one bag with the individual inner bags could cost $500-800

Then there's this:

These are cheaper, but it only comes in this golden-orange color, and the individual bags don't come with it, so it's going to be more like $400 per bag.

The golden orange thing isn't just aesthetic because I don't want that color to attract thieves or hummingbirds (I'm joking about the hummingbirds).

Are there any cheaper alternatives here?

I’m okay with spending a lot of money if something actually works, but landing pages are expensive, and everything else is pricey. It's not that I just have to do this one time, but you have to do it like 10 or 20 times to do a full build.

Thanks for the feedback.
