California Prop. 65 Info
BearVault uses a proprietary polycarbonate resin because of its extraordinary strength-to-weight advantages. This translates into a lighter-weight, stronger bear canister for adventurers like you, who are hauling the weight over long distances because you care – not just about your next meal, but also about protecting bears and keeping them wild. BearVault uses a specially-formulated food-grade polycarbonate that meets federally regulated levels as set by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), code 21CFR177.1580 . This polycarbonate housing also complies with European standards for food-safe containers, as set by the European Union Law, Commission Directive 2002/72/EC.

BearVault's polycarbonate housing contains BPA (bisphenol-A), one of the 950 chemicals subject to Prop 65. The concentration of BPA in this product is minuscule, but still present: less than 100 ppm (parts per million) - in other words, it makes up less than 0.0001 of the canister housing, according to their supplier. A Prop 65 warning informs consumers of likely exposure; note, however, that it is not a regulatory decision that a product is "safe" or "unsafe".

If you are concerned about exposure, you can reduce it with actions like washing your hands after using this product. We also recommend that you use and care for the product as follows:
• Pack your food in bags or containers within the BearVault. This minimizes exposure, and also helps with organization and keeping the food clean for your consumption while you’re working in your camp kitchen.
• Wash your canister with cold water and a mild soap. Use hot water only if necessary.
• Keep your canister away from damaging chemicals, like DEET.

Move Over, GRIGRI — The Edelrid Pinch Is the New Belay Device in Town
  Since its inception over 30 years ago, the Petzl GRIGRI has been the undisputed champ of assisted belay devices. I was an early convert and have used every other assisted braking device since.

The Best Wireless Earbuds of 2024
  We were among those who laughed at AirPods back in 2016, when they were first announced. After all, who on Earth would pay over $150 for dangly, earring-looking things that could easily be lost? Many people, apparently. Nowadays, that form factor is the norm and scads of solid alternatives are available, primarily ranging from just a third to over double...

The Best Headphones of 2024
  The pursuit of headphone excellence — or even happiness — can be a neverending rabbit hole. Ultimately, finding the best headphones for you depends on your attitude, goals, and budget.

The Thrilling Women’s Sport Climbing Finals Came Down to the Wire
  If fans were craving more heart-pounding tension after yesterday’s nail-biting men’s Combined final, they got it this morning as the women’s Boulder portion of the Combined discipline funneled into the Lead climax. Slovenia’s Janja Garnbret was leading the field, but just barely… some struggles from Garnbret on the last boulder (and, worrisomely, a potential finger injury) meant that other competitors...
