- Modular design scales for transport: As you empty the canister, its sections can be nested together to take up less room in your pack
- Modular design also lets you choose what size you need, depending on the length of your backpacking trip
- Use the larger 11.25 L configuration for weeklong trips—or scale it down to the smaller 6.75 L configuration for shorter trips
- Unique 2-step closure system keeps the bears baffled, yet requires no tools for you to operate; audible clicks help you know when the lid locks shut
- To unlock the canister: press the tab marked "1" to disengage it, rotate the lid until it stops against the tab marked "2"; press that and continue unscrewing the lid to open
- We designed the buttons to be disengaged with the push of your finger, but you can also use a key, pen or your pack's emergency whistle (if it comes with one) to assist
- Translucent canister material makes it easy to see what's inside
- Scalloped lid provides an easy surface for you—not the bears—to grab and open
- Canister can double as a stool when you get to camp
- Certified bear-resistant by the Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee
- Included carry bag (weight: 3.2 oz.) is made of recycled ripstop nylon with a nonfluorinated durable water repellent (DWR) to shed moisture
- Carry bag can expand or compress to fit the bear canister in different configurations
- Reflective trim on the carry bag makes it easy to find, even at night
- REI Co-op brand is certified to The Climate Label; we actively fund efforts to reduce carbon emissions across our business and support climate projects around the world
