Cuben Stuff Sack for a 500 / 550 ML Cup / Pot?

Word to the wise, ZPacks or whoever, go ahead and put a strip of cuben repair tape around the inside centered on the lip of the cup/edge of the lid. Thin cuben isn't very durable. I have the ZPacks for a Snow Peak 700mL. Fits and works great, but was cut at the lid before even seeing its first actual use.

Have you looked at the Gossamer Gear warm sack?  The lower half acts as a cozy as well.

I’m not a huge fan of “fitted” stow sacks for pots, and prefer something a little larger than the pot itself. It just makes it easier to get the pot in and out, and if needed, allows me to maybe add something to the top of the pot and still have the sack cinch down ok on it (example: a small firestarting kit that doesn’t fit into the pot w/the stove-set).

That said, Hyperlite Mountain Gear probably makes some of the best quality stuff sacks – they’re durable and taped. I like the heavier CT11 fabrics for cook kits, I use the size Small for most of my smaller pots.

I’ve used the Zpacks sacks a lot over the years, and they’re fine, but they seem to wear out quicker from the seams ripping out – but that’s not universal. I think it depends what you are stuffing in them, and the ones I’ve used as “stow bags” (cook kits, accessories, etc.) have been fine. It’s been the bigger sacks where I’ve stuffed insulating gear in them and stressed the seams that tend to blow quicker.

I have the GG warm sack. Works well with the 650 Toaks so may be a little big. Got it in sil nylon for a negligible weight increase so as not to have the risk of rubbing through Cuben.

Ryan: That’s the issue … I’m a huge fan of HMG sacks …. the quality / finish / seam bonding is next level compared to zpacks, I’ve become spoiled with HMG quality …. with the zpacks blast food bag being an exception … they do a nicer job with finish on those for some reason …. You get what you pay for with a $10 zpacks cuben, for sure … but the stitching just isn’t on par with bags that are bonded … end of story. That being said, the price points on bonded vs / sewn bags are  totally different, so it’s apples to oranges .. it would just be nice to have some more options with bonded bags in terms of custom sizes…. there’s def room in the space for it! :)
