If the regulation says canister, a hang is not a clever alternative. The BV500 is bulky in a small pack. Pack it vertical and plan the volume before you buy a 40-liter pack. Learn the opening method at home. Some versions are fiddly with cold hands.

Who should buy it. Sierra trips and anywhere a canister is mandatory.

Best for. Food storage where a canister is required

Standout limitation. Heavy and bulky
