Tips:

- Add hot water to the meal pouches, then put them into the Insulite pouches to "cook".

Note: many times you may get busy doing other things while your meals are "cooking" in the pouch so you will happy to find the meals are still hot when you are ready to eat

- The insulated pouches make it easier to hold "hot" food pouches.

- Some people roll down the sides of the insulated pouches to make it easier to eat out of the meal pouches.

Luxurious hot food

I thought I'd follow up on these pouches, they're great! For context, I spent a week in September sleeping at 12,000 feet with frost on the ground in the mornings. The insulated pouches not only kept our food warm enough to adequately reheat, but we found that the fact that we had HOT food to eat helped us eat more calories and fully enjoy the meals. This might be the first time in decades I've ever eaten all my freeze dried dinners without struggling to choke down the last few cold bites. I'm extremely picky when it comes to adding things to my hunting pack - optics, hunting weapon, and other hunting gear combined with adequate clothes, food and shelter for a week in the back country get heavy quickly. The insulated pouches have earned a permanent spot in my meal kit because of the added value and ability to get more calories in my body. Thanks for a great product!

Well made, but doesn't make a huge difference

Needed something to insulate backpacking meals while they reconstitute. Most of my backpacking is done at over 9000 feet, so the boiling point is significantly lower, and most food cools off before it's completely done rehydrating. On a cool (~45F) day, backpacking food placed in the sleeve still cooled off before it was completely rehydrated. So it does help, but not a whole lot. I also go winter backpacking though, and I'd bet it has a significantly greater effect when there's a larger temperature difference between the food and outside temperature. All that being said, the pouch is very well made and weighs almost nothing, so you're not really sacrificing anything bringing it with you. If you're only going to use it in summer, it's probably not worth getting. If you do backpacking and/or winter camping, it's worthwhile.

Thank you for your comments. Yes, at 9,000ft (2743m) the boiling temperature of water is lower, but still pretty hot at 195F (90.5C). We are not sure what you are trying to re-hydrate, but we have used the insulated pouches at this altitude and higher and they seem to work fine for commercial dehydrated foods, such as Mountain House. As you mentioned, it does take a little longer than at sea level, but the food we re-hydrated stayed hotter longer using an insulated pouch.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question
  • Are the dimensions listed for the two sizes of bags inside measurements or exterior?

    Insulated pouch dimensions are external dimensions.
    Internal dimensions are 0.5cm smaller.
    For example: 25cm external dimension so 24.5cm internal dimension.

  • How many g/m2 of primaloft? Thanks!

    60gsm PrimaLoft insulation. PrimaLoft insulation is made with 70% post-consumer recycled content (PCR) so every meter we use saves 2.5 plastic bottles from landfill (attached is PrimaLoft recyled bottles calculator):  https://www.primaloft.com/pcr/

  • Where is this made?

    Fabric for Big Sky's insulated pouches is made in USA or Europe, and are responsibly sewn in China

  • Please explain what "no retail packaging" means.........1 piece, "bulk pack".......I assume this means purchasing one bag from a bulk pack and therefore it arrives without the cardboard Big Sky wrapping?

    "bulk pack" means no retail box

  • Can I take my pot off the flame and put it in this pouch to let the food continue cooking?

    The fabric has melting point of 135C/275F. It was designed for boiling water 100C/212F. A very hot pot may melt the fabric. We suggest the pot be cooled below boiling temperature before placing into pouch

  • Can I wash this bag in a machine washer?

    We recommend spot cleaning or hand washing with mild soap.

  • If get dirty, can I wash it?

    We recommend hand washing, rather than machine washing, using mild soap.
