Big improvement over the 475
We haven't tried it out in the field yet, but we already love this one more than our previous BV475. It is nearly the same size, but less weight. The fact that it compresses is awesome and we love the silicone divider to help sort food from trash or anything else we want to sort. The easy open buttons are still tricky enough that I trust it around bears, but WAYYYYYY easier on human fingers. I felt like with the other BV models, my fingers always hurt opening it and being cold always made it 10 times worse. The easy buttons really are easy and we super appreciate it. It is definitely easier for two people to open, but also pretty easy for one person once you get the hang of it. Great upgrade!
Great product but I have concerns
I bought this before heading on a backpacking trip in the boundary Waters and I have a few comments after the first trip. The first one very superficial but the screen printing on the bottom bear vault one embossed branding almost immediately wore off after the first trip. They should consider stop doing that as it adds extra cost and it doesn't add much value nor does it last. The more concerning thing is you can't store it outside and it collapsed state. It is very possible to turn it fast enough where it doesn't lock on its way to being undone, so it's very possible a bear can get your food if it's in a collapsed state when you stash it. before you stash it make sure it is in a locked state. My final question is if this is really necessary? You can stuff your other items into a bear volunteering transportation saving room in your in your pack. I'm also really questioning the size they chose to make this product in. It seems like this would have been better for a bear vault 500 size or larger versus the smaller size and as that is when you can gain the most space back in your pack.
A better design !!
Wow this is awesome ! Pricey for sure but I hike different number of nights in areas where bear cans are required . The adjustability of this is great and you can make it smaller as the hike goes on. Lock could not be easier to use. Worth the $$
