Flexible cargo container

The present disclosure is a soft-shell cargo container that is ideal for “do-it-yourself” transport. The cargo container, which may be useful in a pickup truck bed, includes a single piece of a flexible shell material that defines a base panel, a front wall panel, back wall panel, two side wall panels, a top cover panel, and a tailgate panel. The cargo container is flexible and therefore adaptable to cover bulky or awkwardly shaped cargo. The cargo in the cargo container can be secured via interior fasteners, like loops, hooks, straps, and dividers. The cargo container can also be waterproof, fire retardant, puncture proof, and lockable. Thus, the cargo container protects belongings therein from weather damage, debris, and theft.
