Now available in ultralight (UL) Dyneema or a more heavy duty (HD) ULTRA200X
An UltraLiteSacks original! This one of the first bags offered by UltraLiteSacks when we started back in 2019. Zippered food bags are much easier to access and does not require you to roll and unroll the top every time you use it (you still can though!). Zippered food bags feature a buckle system similar to most traditional style food bags, which will allow you to hang your food overnight to keep out of reach of those pesky critters. When rain is in the forecast, you can roll the top down a few times and maximize the waterproofness of the bag.
This food bag set up is ready for your 1-6 day adventure. The bottom is boxed so it will stand on its own at camp, it is extremely convenient and you can use it as a wind screen while cooking. It is all set and ready to go if you have a carabiner laying around you can use that and a stick to do a PCT hang.
I use this on backpacking trips, they are a perfect way to keep your food together in accessible bag ready to hang and not add any additional ounces to your pack.
