DirtBags are ultralight, reusable zip bags made from bioplastic.

Weighing less than an energy gel packet, they are designed to organize and carry your fuel. They are also essential for long days on the trail.

• Small DirtBag (14 × 6 cm): Sized like a large energy gel, this bag is perfect for refilling with bulk-bought fuels, powders, chews, and homemade energy bars. It allows for precise portion control, ensuring you know exactly how many carbs you’re consuming.
• Large DirtBag (16 x 18 cm): This versatile bag is ideal for fitting into your hydration vest or pockets. It can carry a full day’s worth of energy powder or bigger snacks. Also, it can keep items like your phone, socks, first aid kit, toilet roll, or keys dry and secure. It serves as a convenient place to store your empty small DirtBags for reuse.

Why DirtBags are Better

DirtBags offer a significant improvement over single-use gels, powders, energy bar wrappers, and plastic ziploc bags:

• Reduced Climate Impact: Even if used just once and discarded, a DirtBag has a 45-95% smaller climate impact in its production. This is compared to a single-use energy gel packet or plastic zip bag.
• Reusability: Their reusable nature means their environmental impact shrinks with each use. This is unlike single-use plastics that create more emissions and end up in landfills.
• Waste Reduction: By switching to bulk fuel and decanting it into DirtBags, you can reduce packaging waste by up to 70%.
• Superior to Silicone Flasks: DirtBags have a 10-25x smaller climate impact compared to silicone soft-flasks. These are often not recyclable and made from multiple materials.
• Plant-Based Material: Made with plants from a single material, they avoid the multilayer laminated plastics. These are found in gels and powder packets.
• Lightweight Design: They weigh less than the average large energy gel packet.

End-of-Life Solution

At the end of their life, DirtBags can be composted. As a bioplastic, they are designed to break down much quicker than normal plastics, biodegrading into water, CO2, and biomass.

DirtBags are currently available on Kickstarter, offering a sustainable and practical solution for every outdoor enthusiast.
