I know people use Compactor or construction grade bags for liners. Has anyone used the ForceFlex kitchen bags for a liner? Holds my garbage really well even when it's pointy.
Pretty darn light.

I have. Impressive name and all… but it developed holes and tears after just one 4-day trip. And I never pack sharp objects directly. If I recall correctly, the spec is 1.0 or 1.1 mil. As a comparison, contractor bags range from 2.0 to 4.0 mil. I've found 2.0 a good balance between durability and weight for my needs.
Okay, that was a little harsh. But I tried some for household garbage and found they rip very easily. Not something that could take several days of stuff being shoved into and taken out of it and remain intact.
Very nice commercials
UL hikers should love these. The process used to make them stretch the plastic allows a stronger bag with less material, a UL dream.
And I work the Company that owns Glad so buy lots of them :)
Greg:
Perhaps this resulted in a bag that can tolerate more stretching — but is weaker in puncture resistance?
If you do try these out, they make good pillows too! the texture/whatever of the material makes it feel much less plastic-y and seemed very soft to me. But not sure everyone would agree with that, and there are definitely better pillow options.
