The Bare Boxer has been keeping bears away from your food since 2008!
Weighing only 1.6 pounds, the Bare Boxer is THE lightest APPROVED bear canister in the market for its volume! Its compact design can slip easily into your backpack for use in National parks & forests with canister regulations.
Compact & light design makes the Bare Boxer the ideal companion for shorter hiking and backpacking trips!
Easy for you to open and impossible for the bear. Simply use almost any key*, knife, or a multi-tool like a Swiss army knife to open the 3 locks.

United StatesLightweight and relatively easy to pack into bag. As others mentioned, practice opening it at home first!
United StatesWas light and held more than enough of food for two people for two full days. It’s bit tough to open, but I guess that’s exactly the point to keep bears out!
United StatesI usually backpack alone, and a rented bear canister took up almost all the room in my 55L pack that wasn't tent or sleeping bag. I wanted something that would still give me some packing flexibility in bear country, so I picked up a Bare Boxer. I've since suggested it to several people on Reddit who are in similar situations as I was. It's nice to have a product with the same performance as the bigger models, but which won't take up most of your pack space.
United StatesThis can has been great for keeping my pack volume down on quicker solo trips. Perfect for overnights, but has handled three day trips just as well with a little strategic packing. I did put a strip of reflective tape around it to make it easier to find in the dark, but otherwise the size and function was exactly what I was looking for in a bear can.
United StatesUsed it once so far.What I like about this can is it its weight and design.Intuitive to open and close.Weight is, I think, best in its class.Overall design should withstand a bear encounter.
