      Flimsy replacement. I bought one 10 years ago from Campmor, it was made of a durable cloth material. I lost it, so just bought a new one. The new one is flimsy plastic that I think will be destroyed if it gets near anything sharp or hot.

        Only thing lacking is squirrel protection. Place a camp plate upside down inside top of bag before hanging and squirrels cannot get in. Lightweight bag is easier to get up higher away from bears as well. Loved it so much I ordered another one right away.

              Comments about Equinox Ursus Ultralite Bear Bag:

              It was convenient to have everything put together, but not worth the price. Almost sent it back when I received it. I think we could have done just as well with any nylon sack. Not sure if this was supposed to be waterproof, (thought so with silicone impregnated fabric,) but we set up camp in the rain one night and the food bags inside were wet. Fortunately, the food was in ziplocs and mostly dry.

              Service and delivery comments:

              No problems here.

                    Bought two bag systems and used them on two separate four day trips. They are now ripped and worthless. The material snags on limbs and bark and tears easily. The idea is nice, but if you hike in areas where tree limbs are not strong or straight, use a sock for the rock, a stuff sack or your pack for the main bag.

                        On the first trip I used it holes appeared on the bottom of the sack. It is light, but should have been reinforced and thicker on the bottom. The holes did not spread so it still usable. When it rained I did not find it kept the items inside dry.I still use it but put all my food in a dry bag and then place it in the bear bag. I bought it about 3 years ago, so they could have improved the product

                          Used bear bag with OP storage bags on weekend backpack trip. Worked great and kept every thing dry through six hours of constant rain.

                              No, this item is not designed to withstand a bear trying to get to your treats. If this bear bag is properly in a tree it will help in keeping your food safe. If you are looking for something that is bear-proof, please check the link below.

                              The material itself is silicone impregnated so should be waterproof, however the seams are not sealed so the bag itself in its entirety is not waterproof if submerged.

                              10 Lb would be a top limit. this is an ultra lite bag so the material would rip under a lot of weight.
