I used an Ursack on a backpacking trip in the Sierras, along with a hard cannister. Packing the cannister is a pita, but when a hungry, stubborn black bear came into our area he ignored it--my guess was that he'd tried to break into others w/o success, and learned not to bother.

But he went after the Ursack big time. He didn't tear it apart, but punctured the sack in a couple of places, and crushed things so badly that between bear drool and damage to the food, most of its contents were useless.

When we got to the trailhead trash dump I tossed it. I'd never use another one.
