    For years I have used 10 mil clear plastic bags used for asbestos removable, they fit nicely inside a backpack or bike pannier. by law they have to be indestructible and will last for years with no leaks unless you drag the bag across the camp site. I bought an endless lifetime roll of them years ago when I was guiding wilderness trips and gave them to the trippers.

    Thanks for this advice which has been very useful to me. Nylofume bags are so light and tough it's almost unreal. They are priceless, yet so cheap. They truly are the perfect pack liner and you're the first one I ever heard talk about them. Thanks again!

    We had our house fumigated about a year ago and they left us with about 100 Nylofume bags to store our food and when I realized they were the same bags Litesmith sells I was like, jackpot I'll never have to buy pack liners ever again.

    My litesmith liner fail miserably on my last trip And it was the first time using it. The seam at the bottom gets holes in it really easily while I do agree that the litesmith does not stretch where it’s put together is where the issue is for me. I’ll stick with my trash compactor bag gladly. if anyone wants to give there’s up I’ll take theirs as well.

    Does anyone now hat Nylofume actually is? I only saw on article that said it was a nylon coated polymer....that could mean almost anything. How does it compare in puncture resistance to the GG bag? i think the GG bag is 2mil thick and made of low density Polyethelene (LDPE) right? How thick is the Nylofume? What happens once you somehow get a puncture in one? Does it loose all its strengh?

    Hiya everyone, would anyone have a hack for fixing the bottom of the liner in a squared off fashion? I find that I lose a small amount of pack volume with the envelope style form of these liners. Thanks y'all

    The transparency is the only value here. I tried your bag of choice and found it too narrow, the trash compactor bag is wide and long enough and I cut it down a bit to make the fit just right. I haven't worried at all about the liner at all. To each his/her own. Plus my arc haul has no sharp edges inside the pack like my osprey did with the hydration port hook near the top.

    same here use a katabatic V40 40l & have no need for a liner since the V40 material is lined with a waterproof coating. it also far stronger than cuben & will not breakdown over time
