I had the privilege of being a field tester for the Outsak UL. It is similar to the Outsak, but lighter. Much lighter. I was skeptical before I received the bag for testing. Honestly, I just wanted the free food bag.

The weight of the steel mesh was a surprise. It was much lighter than anticipated. I put the Outsak UL to the test for about 2 months. Leaving it in my backyard for neighborhood raccoons, possums, squirrels, and a wide assortment of birds to take their shot at the food that was contained in the bag, unprotected. No ziplocks, opsaks, stuff sacks, nothing....just food.

No animals were ever able to remove food from the bag. No animal was ever able to open the bag. No animal ever broke any part of the wire mesh. I now have the final version of the Outsak UL in my hands. It is awesome. It is even bigger than the bag I tested, and lighter.

This is a great product. I've tried other rodent proofing ideas for backpacking trips. This one works.

Like the rating says, Do Not Leave Home Without Your Outsak UL!!!!!

Pros

  • None

Cons

  • Customer service

 I own some of the Ultralight Outsaks.  I recommended them to my wife.  My wife placed an order on the Simple Outdoor Solutions website (not Trailspace.com) Saturday morning on her phone.  When she clicked to pay, she noticed it had auto-filled an address she has not lived at in over 10 years. 

She immediately emailed the info@ as listed as the proper way to contact on the site.  She received an email Monday afternoon saying that it was her mistake and he can't be responsible for it.  Without us asking for a refund, he issued a refund but said the PayPal fee is non-refundable and kept 7 bucks from the refund. He was very rude and followed-up telling here it was her mistake and she should own it. Terrible person, terrible business.  Please buy from another company.
