Snack Sack

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

This roll-top food bag is a really nice addition to your multi-day backpacking kit list; having all your food in one bag to help with organisation and to easily access it isn’t exactly a new concept, but the lightweight materials, roll-top closure, and the hanging loop all add to the usability of the snack sack.

Gossamer Gear says: 

Don’t risk getting hangry. Next time you’re on the trail, keep all of your food in a dry and secure place. The Snack Sack has an oversized design that is guaranteed to hold enough meals and snacks for your multi day trip through the backcountry.

Our Verdict

This roll-top food bag is a really nice addition to your multi-day backpacking kit list; having all your food in one bag to help with organisation and to easily access it isn’t exactly a new concept, but the lightweight materials, roll-top closure, and the hanging loop all add to the usability of the snack sack. The bag is easily large enough for a week’s worth of food, including snacks, and the roll-top closure and Velcro fastening mean you can condense the bag as you eat your way through your supplies.  The snack sack also has a small hanging loop, so you can store your food off the floor, out of the range of mice, which is especially useful if you are staying in a bothy.

The bag is made from Tyvek, which is a very lightweight and water-resistant material, which also has the added benefit of being incredibly light, so your food is well-protected, should you get a soaking.
