Learn the best way to pack a Bevy Sack for day trips: from choosing the right size to securing your drink and keeping it cold.
Quick Answer
To pack a Bevy Sack for day trips, slide the can or bottle into the insulated sleeve, cinch the drawcord, and clip it to your bag or belt loop. The Tapestry Tie Dye version adds a colorful, packable layer that keeps drinks cool hands-free.
Why the Bevy Sack Works for Day Trips
Unlike a bulky cooler, the Bevy Sack is a compressible beverage blanket that fits in a daypack or clips to the outside. It’s designed for one drink at a time, so you don’t carry extra weight. The Tapestry Tie Dye print, created by artist Courtenay Pollock, adds a unique look without adding bulk.
Trade-Offs to Consider
The Bevy Sack holds one standard can or bottle. If you need to carry multiple drinks, you’ll need a separate six-pack carrier or a larger cooler. The insulation is moderate—it keeps a drink cool for a short hike but won’t replace an ice chest for all-day trips.
How to Pack a Bevy Sack for Day Trips
- Choose the Right Drink: Pick a standard 12 oz can or 16 oz bottle. The Bevy Sack is sized for single-serve containers; larger bottles or wide cans may not fit snugly. Check the diameter of your drink before you pack. A too-wide container won’t stay secure.
- Slide the Drink Into the Sleeve: Open the Bevy Sack and insert the drink bottom-first. Push it down until the can or bottle is fully inside the insulated chamber. If the drink doesn’t slide in easily, it’s too big. Don’t force it—choose a smaller container.
- Cinch the Drawcord: Pull the drawcord at the top to tighten the opening around the drink’s rim. This keeps the drink from slipping out and adds a bit of insulation at the top. Don’t over-tighten—leave a small gap so you can still sip without removing the sack.
- Clip to Your Bag or Belt: Use the built-in carabiner clip to attach the Bevy Sack to a backpack strap, belt loop, or daypack daisy chain. This frees your hands for hiking or climbing. Clip it to a secure loop, not a flimsy strap. A loose clip can swing and bump against your leg.
- Keep It Cool on the Trail: For longer trips, pre-chill the drink and the Bevy Sack in the fridge for 15 minutes before packing. The insulation will hold the cold better. Don’t expect ice-cold drinks after hours in direct sun. The Bevy Sack is best for short hikes or as a backup to a cooler.
