Thanks to Iago V. for showing these to me over in the HMG Pod Review thread.

IKEA Rensare Pods

Picked up two sets (6 pods) for $15.97 shipped. Arrived this morning. It’s a rainy day so I’m playing gear…

1.2 oz. for the large, .8 oz. for the small. Instead of full clamshell zippers, only two sides unzip; I find this useful in creating a tight corner to help stuff goods.

^ This is the large filled with an XL Montbell Thermawrap jacket, BPL Cocoon Hood, Montbell Dynamo windpants, thermal leggings, socks, and a pair of gloves. I could easily still fit a shirt and pair of running shorts…

^ This is the large pod inside an HMG Southwest 3400. Fit is perfect. Could easily stack another large or two of the small (side by side).

I’ve been tired of digging around in the bottoms of stuffsacks for gear; this will clean things up for sure. All pods will go inside a trash compactor or nylofume pack liner. I don’t trust a backpack alone.

Cheers.

I treat the HMG pods like gold because they work really well, and quite frankly they cost gold prices. Six Moon Designs are a workable and much cheaper substitute.

These look good… for the price I’ll have to give them a shot.

I ordered two sets as well… looking forward to getting them.

Received them today from IKEA. Excellent. 1.23 oz’s for the large size.

I also bought two sets, but doubt I will use them backpacking as I have my kit pretty well dialed in.  Thought they would be useful in my Osprey Transporter Duffel 40 when traveling….if we ever get to travel again that is.

Seem to be good quality and I expect them to come in quite handy.  Price makes the purchase a no-brainer.

From the IKEA web site linked above:

Dang – I always iron my pods after dry cleaning them. Too bad :-)

Well thank you Rex. I completely overlooked that that was a link. I’m really not that lazy I swear :)

Not a bad option.  May have to keep this in mind
