BV ONE® Adjustable Bear Canister

Fits 1-4+ days of food.

Backcountry travel isn’t one-size-fits-all, and your bear canister shouldn’t be either.

The BV ONE is an ultralight bear-resistant canister designed for today’s backpacking setups.

Its telescoping design reduces unused pack space as your food supply shrinks, while center-access and easy-open buttons simplify daily use on the trail.

• Expands when full and compresses as you eat

• Easy-open buttons for fast access

• More internal volume than the BV450, with 2 oz less weight

• IGBC Certified protection (#255500)

Oerview

Opening a bear canister should be simple, especially after long miles. The BV ONE is built for real conditions, with soft-touch buttons and smooth threads that make opening easy, even with cold or tired hands. 

Designed as a lightweight bear-resistant food canister for backpackers who want flexibility without extra bulk, it adjusts as you move through your trip. The center access keeps meals easy to reach, while the adjustable design keeps your pack streamlined from your first day out to your last meal.

Instead of working around your gear, the BV ONE creates a more efficient experience from packing at home to your last meal on trail.
