Shop / bear canister for backpacking
For 20 years, BearVault has been at the forefront of designing canisters that prioritize safety, usability, and bear resistance, thereby protecting both users and bears. The BV425 offers distinct advantages over the competition for shorter trips, including the lightest weight for its volume and size while still fitting snugly into your backpack.
Featuring a wide-mouth opening for easy access to contents, a transparent design that allows you to view the contents without emptying the entire canister, and no need for extra tools to open or close, the BV425 also conveniently doubles as a comfortable camp stool. To receive the prestigious Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee's (IGBC) bear-resistant container certification, these bear-proof canisters must withstand intense, direct bear-to-container contact. BearVault's canisters have successfully protected tasty treats like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and beef jerky from bears, earning the IGBC Certification #5422 in 2022.
Catering to weight-conscious hikers, weekend adventurers, kids, and everyone in between, the BV425-Sprint offers comprehensive bear-proof food storage solutions. Whether it's a late-night snack craving, storing last-minute toiletry items with your food, or the lack of a suitable tree branch to hang your bear bag, the BV425 eliminates these common problems for backcountry travelers. Wherever your journey takes you, you can rest easy with the BV425.
Alongside the BV425-Sprint, BearVault offers a range of bear-resistant containers to suit various trip durations: the BV450-Jaunt for 3-4 days, the BV475-Trek for 5-6 days, and the BV500-Journey for 7 or more days. All these models share key features, including a wide opening that allows you to reach in and retrieve your snacks with ease, no tools required for opening, strap guides to aid in strapping and packing the canister, and the ability to double as a comfortable camp stool. Constructed with rugged, transparent polycarbonate, these canisters are IGBC certified as bear-resistant, with certification numbers ranging from #5339 to #55340.
The new, smallest size BV425-Sprint is perfect for a quick overnight trip or for sharing the load within a group. Hikers of all ages, builds, and fitness levels can now carry their own food safely. Sliding easily into a small backpack, this lightweight bear canister can accommodate 1-2 days' worth of food for regular hikers or up to 4-5 days' worth of ultralight-style calorie-dense provisions. Whether you're out fishing, climbing, taking photos, or hunting, the BV425-Sprint allows you to leave your lunch at the base, protected from bears and other wildlife, while you enjoy your adventure. With its transparent sides, wide opening, tool-free operation, and dual function as a camp stool, the BV425-Sprint is a versatile and reliable companion for any outdoor enthusiast.
