Description
Works great with backpacking meals. Easily big enough for two person meals. Roll the top down just a little bit and pour the water in. Roll it back up and wait.
The ULG Food Cozy is a pouch made of insulated, reflective, durable, non-woven fabric. The cozy has a pouch cover or lid that closes with hook-and-loop fasteners that runs the length of the lid. Near the top of the cozy is a small plastic loop, which is sewn into the material.
The bottom of the cozy is gusseted, which creates a more stable base when the pouch is filled. Near the gusseted bottom are two small, black elastic loops. When the cozy is folded in thirds, these elastic loops can wrap around the material to keep the pouch folded and compressed.
Some people roll down the sides of the insulated pouches to make it easier to eat out of the meal pouches.
The bags are highly packable as they compress down to nothing when not being used.
It's probably best to think about the pouch as a “thermos” bag—it retains temperature for foods that require cool storage, and also allows for a speedier cooking time for hot foods. You can use them for packing chocolate or energy bars on hot days, or literally anything you need to keep from melting away.
Features
- Insulated, reflective material to retain temperature
- Durable non-woven fabric
- Made with recycled and upcycled materials.
- Reflective fabric: we work with a factory that uses this reflective fabric to make other products where the fabric is reflective on one side and printed on the other. Fabric meant for the landfill, such as misprinted fabric is turned inside out so misprinting is not shown, or we buy left over end rolls and/or fabric scraps when available instead of sending the unused fabric to a landfill.
- Compressible, folds/stuffs to a very small size
Freestanding design
Warning: A very hot pot may melt the fabric. Let pot cool below boiling temperature before placing into pouch. The fabric has melting point of 135C/275F. The pouch was designed for boiling water which is 100C/212F.
Size Guide
Medium size/Double meal:
- Big enough to hold 2+ servings commercial dehydrated food
- Size: 25cm x 25cm (10in x 10in)
- Ultra Light weight: 43g (1.5oz)
Tips:
- Add hot water to the meal pouches, then put them into the Insulite pouches to "cook".
Note: many times you may get busy doing other things while your meals are "cooking" in the pouch so you will happy to find the meals are still hot when you are ready to eat
The insulated pouches make it easier to hold "hot" food pouches.

What a great piece of kit. I used it to hold my cold items- cheese, salami etc for the bus trip to the trailhead and on the hike. At dinner held my hot hydrating food. Food piping hot after 15 minutes of hydrating. Placed all my lunch items for the days hike within. Easy to find in your pack when you stop for lunch. After the hike I am using as a carry for my packed lunch at work. Love it!!

Super light and the perfect size for double meals. Love it.

Tried this on a recent overnight trip. Ended up putting the food into the boiling water (broke the bag whoops) giving it a stir and putting the pot in the bag. Left for ~15mins. Food was actually still so hot, I had to let it cool a bit. Was pretty impressed at how well it works. I am now using it as the pot cover as it keeps everything together. I will definitely keep using it. I am interested to see how well it might keep things cool.

Very lightweight and very effective.

I've used this a couple of times now and it does a great job of retaining heat. I've used a pot i've just taken off the stove and it hasn't burned through the bottom of the bag which I was impressed with. It's a compact little bit of kit and doesn't cost much either. The only thing I can see wrong with it is the two small holes in the top where you fold the bag over. Apart from that it gets the job done.

Such a good lightweight product. Purchased for my motorbike and couldn’t be happier with the quality!

These light weight insulated pouches are great!!! I live in a warm climate, so i put my cheese and salami in the pouch during the day to minimize the heat getting to them. In the evening, it double up as a pouch to put my jet-boil pot in after putting hot water on a dehydrated meal. Super light and versatile.

Great piece of kit.

Greet size when opened, and compresses to save space when not in use

Seven day hike kept my cheese and salami cool during the day and at night help keep my food hot to properly rehydrate.
Now a cozy for my work lunch.

Great quality food pouch. Love using these while rehydrating food. Great hack is to stick a tortilla into the bag as well to heat it up!

I have used the insulated food pouch on my last tramp and found it worked well. I dehydrate my own dahl as I find the commercial stuff triggers migraines and tastes pretty bad as a vegetarian. I used aluminium food pouch’s which I brought off Ali Baba express.. 100 bags for about 20 dollars. These work better than plastic bags and help keep the heat in. 20 minutes is about right to rehydrate food and the insulated pouch keeps it hot over that time. In the evening I placed it in my down sleeping bag, which worked even better.
