The bare boxer contender is a budget bear canister that is light and more importantly approved by igbc and sibbg for use in both grizzly and black bear country. Use almost any key knife or multi tool to open the three latch snap lock lid. The bare boxer contender is made of black plastic very slightly tapered on each end the center of the canister is 7 4 inches 18 80 cm each end is 7 inches 17 78 cm wide and has a semi circular opening with a tab to lock it in place. Weighing only 1 6 pounds the bare boxer is the lightest approved bear canister in the market for its volume.

275 cubic inches will fit 2 days of food or even 3 if you pack very carefully with as little packaging as possible. I found the latches to operate smoother than the garcia s i have had experience with. Easy for you to open impossible for the bear. Given that the price is comparable to or cheaper than canisters of the same volume and weight i d say it s the best choice unless you need more storage or simply don t have bears in your area.

Its compact design can slip easily into your backpack.
