I made my own version of this with Reflectix and Gorilla Tape. Ultralight and ultracheap.

I've had one of these for about a year. I love it. I split my mountain house 2-serving meals in to 2 ziploc freezer bags. When Im ready to eat, I pour the boiling water into the ziploc then slip the ziploc into this bag. The food cooks MUCH faster and more evenly, you can hold the bag while you eat without burning your hands, and the much shorter ziploc bags make eating much easier and less messy since you can use a regular length spoon. Its light as a feather and packs flat. If you eat rehydrated meals, you need this!

jlo314jlo34, Thank you for sharing your tips... I also repack dehydrated food into zip lock bags since most commercial dehydrated packaging is pretty big, bulky, and heavy. Rolling the top of the Insulite pouch down makes it easier to eat right out of the Insulite pouch. Thanks again for your business and tips!

For ice, either freeze something that will be used up, OR half fill a Sawyer squeeze pouch or similar roll up water bottle, freeze that, then when you no longer need to keep w/e cool, you can just let the ice melt and drink or dump out the water. That way you don't have to carry a heavy and bulky re-usable ice pack out with you.

These are interesting bags... but I have the same criticism of this drop as we've seen with other drops. None of the photos provide any photos that represent the scale or use of the product. Why would you only show "beauty" shots but not show any shots that are actually useful in making the purchase decision? I wonder how many people will end up buying these only to find out that they don't work for the intended use?
Also, the specs say "10x10" but is that flat or diameter with a round container inside?
Consumers shouldn't have to go out and dig up the info elsewhere for something like this. I will add that I know there's posts in the discussion thread... and while that's useful I still think better info/photos should be shown up front.
Just my 2c.

Thanks for replying.
My suggestion, for what it's worth (and I think Massdrop should try to do this for all drops where applicable) is to add one or two photos that show a comparison scale, like a soda can, or someone holding the bag. Something like that.

I had planned to make a pot cozy from reflectix for my good ol' aluminum grease pot for my PCT thru-hike next year, but this would have the added benefit of working for Mountain House meals and the like. Can you please confirm if a pot 5.625" in diameter and 4" tall would fit inside this bag and seal? Thank you!

amberjoyUsing my (likely) fuzzy math...
The distance around the cross section of your pot should be about:
Diameter of the top + height on the right side + diameter of the bottom + height on the left side
(Or twice the height + twice the diameter)
So you'd need "about" 5.625" + 4" + 5.625" + 4" or 19.25" of material to go around your pot.
If the cozy was really 10" wide you'd have 20" of material available and the pot should slip into the cozy.
The problem (at least with the cozy I have) is that the inside width of the cozy is more like 9.5", which would give you only 19" of material. One quarter inch short of what you need.
Maybe since it's only a quarter inch short it would stretch that much and be fine? I suspect it might but I don't know.
A BatchStovez 12 cm Cook Pot fits fine.
As do a couple different1300 ml pots I just tried. (Evernew and MSR)

Got my bags Saturday and was just trying them out today and have already had one of the elastic bands break off. not a big deal but should be sewed on a bit better in the next batch

W00llyW00lly, sorry to hear of the issue... we are changing how the elastic straps are sewn on... future batches of the Insulite pouch will be much improved so this should not happen. Big Sky International

The Velcro is ok for me but I feel like there must be better ways to prevent heat from escaping the bag. Maybe something like a zipper with a draft collar on the bag? I love my bags I just feel they could be optimized further. I like to use them to carry in hot stuff so maybe this isn’t relevant for the average mountain house user.
