Price : $30
Weight : 2.9oz
Colors : Gray, Black and Blue
The RectangleLight Food Bag is perfect for a 2-3 day trip or a simple over-nighter. The simple design allows for easy access to your food and other consumables.
Xpac is a great fabric. While we are familiar with Dyneema Composite Fabrics (DCF) aka Cuben Fiber, we felt that the fabric lacked long term durability. DCF is a great material but while Xpac weighs slightly more it is FAR more durable. We wanted a storage/food bag that could be ultralight but still be scraped on rocks and dropped from trees. Xpac’s laminated and reinforced construction allows for that level of durability.
· Made with durable X-Pac VX21 Fabric

· YYK weather resistant, inverted zipper.
· Weight: 2.9 ounces
· Dimensions: 12 inches x 6 inches x 6 inches
· Volume: 432 cubic inches (7 Liters)

Pros :
Excellent quality.
Looks to be handmade
Well thought-out and designed.
High quality materials-name brand zippers
It is weather resistant,
Easy to use as a bear bag
I keep a large thick plastic bag inside for trash along with lots of line and a carabineer for bear bag usage
Cons :
There is no logo or label on the bag and I have on multiple occasions who made it. On a gear testing trip a week ago I was having lunch along side of the trail and had a hiker pass, we talked and he asked about my food bag…unfortunately I couldn’t tell him who made it as there isn’t a logo or label and I couldn’t remember it.
