Big Sky International Insulite Pouch

My husband, son and I backpack several times a years. Short trips and long. I dehydrate food and prepare all our backpacking meals. Like commercial backpacking food, I make meals that can be rehydrated just by adding boiling water, then putting the bag in a "cozy" and waiting.I bought this product for the first time in 2018, attracted by the great price and how little it weighs. It has seen heavy use since. It will hold two meals at once and keeps them warm as long as needed. We store our fuel, stove and sporks in it when hiking. So it's dual purpose as well.This one is a gift for a friend.

I was on the fence about buying one of these for a while, but I bought it, and it’s worth the $15! This pouch is as close to perfect as a piece of “luxury” can be. You don’t need this, in fact, when you need it it might not be enough insulation but it’s exceeded my expectations thus far for what I needed and for under $15 it’s worth trying.It’s well made, can compress down to about the size of a smartphone and has elastic straps sewn onto it. A large piece of Velcro holds the lid closed.I’ve used it to warm up backpacking meals in temps from 90’-high 40’s and it’s worked wonderfully. I’ve also used it with my family as a small cooler for day trips and paired with an ice pack it will keep cool for several hours. I’ve also used it as a cooler for weekend trips where I’m carrying a couple chilly with me and want them to be cool when I get to camp.Again, you probably don’t need this, but it’s nice. Nicer than the one I had for years that I made out of a car windshield sunscreen. Lighter than mine was too. I highly recommend.

Just used this for a multi day hike in the Grand Canyon. It kept my food super hot while rehydrating. It’s also very lightweight and easy to pack!

I got this one and I also got the much more expensive one from hyperlite. Both are good. I now use this one for putting my food bag inside when it is rehydrating, which is the intended purpose. I am not sure you really need this because even during winter camping in below freezing temperatures, my food bags are plenty warm enough after rehydrating because I am starting them with boiling water. However this bag is nice.I use the other more expensive one for my camera batteries. I put a hand warmer inside and it works very well. Now I don't have to keep all my camera batteries in my sleeping bag. I have not tried this with the big sky brand bag but it seems to me it would work. It is an insulating bag and especially with a hand warmer - it can help keep anything warm, not just food.As for one of the reviews that said the velcro got covered in fur or hair, I am mindful to protect the velcro. I try not to let the velcro touch anything. I don't think you need the velcro because you can just fold over the bag. But it's fine. So far my velcro has zero fur or hair in it.The one thing this bag does better than the more expensive brand is size! This one is big enough for all my food meal bags but the hyperlite brand is too small for many.Overall I think this is a good product and I bring it on my winter trips. I've taken it out 5 times this winter so far and used it each time.

Works great with backpacking meals. Easily big enough for two person meals. Roll the top down just a little bit and pour the water in. Roll it back up and velcro the top back in place. Does a great job. Super light and my camp spoon fits in there perfectly. Roll the whole thing up and wrap the straps around it and throw it in the hilltop food bag. Nice.

I am trying to shed ounces from my gear and decided to try this. I am glad I did. I have used it in few backpacking trips and worked well for my cook-in-a-bag meals. It is roomy enough for 2-3 meals, so we only have to carry one bag instead of 2. It is very light and it rolls into a very compact roll that fits nicely in my food bag. I bought a second bag to keep my electronics in cold weather.PROS: super light and compact; roomy; multiuse - I keep my clean eating ware in it.CONS: it is very soft and not as sturdy as the bags made of reflective car shade material. Durability could be questionable, but so far is holding ok. Also my meals took a few minutes longer to "cook" in this bag than my reflective bags, but not a deal breaker.Overall, it is a good bag worth the price.

was just looking for something to put my camp food in while it 'cooked'. One of those Peak Fuel or mountain house food pouches. Much more than expected. Otherwise, it's well built, and may be handy for other things.

You can pack out two tall cans and they’ll stay cold for a hot 8 miles. When you switch it to keeping your dinner hot and helping with hydration of said dinner it’s equally amazing. I read the other reviews about it melting but I haven’t had that issue. I haven’t used any freezer bags in there with boiling water though. I’ve just used the packaging most of the meals come in. It’s as light as a feather and is kind of a game changer in my meal kit.

Helped Rehydrate my food quickly and kept it hot until I was ready eat. Very light weight and compact able.

メスティン1.5合での自動炊飯用にも使ってみました。直接だと溶けそうなのでハンドタオルでメスティンを包んでから蒸らしました。レギュラーサイズなので大きさも余裕でした。もう少し安ければいうことないのですが。
