Ultralight food bag for treks
The Food Bag from Hilltop Packs, handcrafted in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania (USA), lets you carry your food organized and protected without relying on bags that tear, soak, or occupy more space than necessary.
When to use it
Use it on multi-day trips, light treks, or routes where you need to keep food well-organized and protected. It’s perfect for separating food from the rest of your gear, avoiding odors inside the backpack, and quickly accessing what you need at each stop.
It works just as well in summer as in humid or rainy environments, thanks to its waterproof closure and fabric. Ideal for those seeking an ultralight and reliable solution without bulky or rigid bags.
Design
The rectangular shape with a flat bottom makes it easy to organize food and better use space inside your backpack. It remains stable when placed on the ground, preventing the contents from tipping over or shifting.
The roll-top or waterproof zipper closure ensures effective protection against rain and moisture, allowing easy access to the interior. It’s lightweight, practical, and designed for daily use without complications.
Made from D50T fabric
The bag is made from Challenge D50T, a technical fabric registered by Challenge Sailcloth. It’s a lightweight and durable material designed to maintain its shape and protect contents from moisture, abrasion, and regular use without adding extra weight to your backpack.
D50T is not Dyneema, but it shares the same performance philosophy: combining high-tenacity polyester fibers with a waterproof laminate that prevents water absorption, offering an excellent balance between weight, durability, and cost.
