BearVault Introduces the First Adjustable Bear Canister, the BV ONE
The new adjustable bear canister reduces pack bulk, increases usable space, and maintains certified bear-resistant protection
Boulder, CO | March 26, 2026
BearVault introduces the BV ONE, the first adjustable bear canister built with a telescoping structure that expands when full and collapses as food is consumed. The ultralight design, weighing under 2 pounds, features easy-open soft-touch buttons built for outdoor adventurers.
Traditional bear canisters remain the same size from the first mile to the last. As food volume decreases, unused space builds inside the pack. The BV ONE adjustable bear canister solves this by shrinking as meals are eaten, reducing wasted space and improving pack balance throughout a trip.
The BV ONE expands to 8.3 liters (505 cubic inches) when fully loaded and collapses to 4.65 liters (282 cubic inches) as food is consumed, shrinking from 8.5 in tall to 5.6 in. Compared to the BV450, the BV ONE offers more internal volume while weighing 2 ounces less at 1lb 15oz (895 g), improving carry efficiency without compromising durability or certified protection.
Developed over several years, the BV ONE was engineered using more than two decades of documented bear-interaction data. Historically targeted areas were reinforced, and the structure, constructed from rugged polycarbonate and high-performance nylon, was optimized to maximize strength while reducing unnecessary weight.
The BV ONE Adjustable Bear Canister Highlights
- Expands to 8.3 L (505 cu in) / compresses to 4.65 L (282 cu in)
- Weighs 1 lb 15 oz (895 g) — 2 oz lighter than the BV450
- Easy-open system with soft-touch buttons and smooth threading
- Certified bear-resistant (IGBC #255500)
“While customers love our durable, wide-opening, tool-free bear canisters, the public consensus is that change was needed. Easier to open, more lightweight, and versatile. We took those suggestions seriously. With our intimate knowledge of bear resistant design, we dedicated years to development, trials, and testing a completely new concept. We’re incredibly excited to introduce the innovative BV ONE adjustable bear canister to the world today!” — Tracy Twist, Owner, BearVault
Launched in BearVault’s 25th year, the BV ONE signals the company’s next evolution in food storage. While its classic line of canisters remains core to the lineup, BearVault positions the adjustable bear canister as the future of modern backcountry travel.
The BV ONE adjustable bear canister is now available for pre-order at bearvault.com/bv-one.

BearVault Partners With the Conservation Alliance to Support Public Lands and Wildlife Protection
Boulder, CO | March 19, 2026
BearVault has partnered with The Conservation Alliance, the outdoor industry’s leading business coalition working to protect public lands and waters across North America.
BearVault’s partnership underscores the role gear manufacturers play in supporting responsible recreation and wildlife protection. For more than two decades, BearVault products have helped reduce human-wildlife conflict by promoting responsible food storage practices in bear country. Built for real-world use, BearVault canisters have become a standard for responsible food storage.
As outdoor participation continues to grow and land managers implement stricter food-storage policies, the company views conservation as a natural extension of its work.
As a member, BearVault will contribute to The Conservation Alliance’s work in two areas: funding grassroots conservation projects led by local communities and supporting business-led advocacy efforts that help protect the landscapes and waterways on which outdoor recreation depends.
“Protecting wildlife and protecting access to public lands go hand in hand,” said Tracy Twist. “Our products are built to reduce human-wildlife conflict in bear habitat. Supporting The Conservation Alliance is a way for us to stand behind that work beyond the product itself.”
BearVault joins a network of outdoor companies investing directly in the long-term protection of the places that shape outdoor experiences across North America.

BearVault aplaude las medidas de Boundary Waters para proteger a los osos y visitantes

BearVault aplaude las medidas de Boundary Waters para proteger a los osos y visitantes
Boulder, Colorado | 27 de enero de 2026
Tras un año exitoso con menos conflictos entre humanos y osos, el Servicio Forestal de EE. UU. ha extendido las normas obligatorias de almacenamiento de alimentos en el Área Silvestre de Canoas de Boundary Waters (BWCAW) hasta 2031. El mandato exige que todos los visitantes aseguren la comida, la basura y los artículos perfumados colgándolos al menos a 3,6 metros del suelo o utilizando un contenedor certificado a prueba de osos. Desde que se implementó la orden temporal el año pasado, los encuentros con osos han disminuido significativamente.
“El Servicio Forestal está mejorando la seguridad y ayudando a la vida silvestre a prosperar con estas medidas”, dijo Tracy Twist, directora ejecutiva de BearVault. “Cuando se impide que los osos y otros animales salvajes accedan a la comida humana, se mantienen salvajes y alejados de los problemas. Esto es una ventaja para los osos y hace que la naturaleza sea mucho más segura para quienes se recrean en la zona”.
Las Aguas Boundary forman parte del Bosque Nacional Superior de Minnesota, una de las áreas silvestres más visitadas del país. Con su extensa red de lagos y senderos para canoas, ofrece a los remeros una oportunidad única de experimentar la auténtica naturaleza. Cuando no se almacenan los alimentos adecuadamente, los osos aprenden rápidamente a asociar a las personas con comidas fáciles, un hábito que suele acabar mal para el oso y puede crear situaciones peligrosas para excursionistas y remeros.
Mantener la comida humana inaccesible protege el comportamiento natural de los osos. BearVault sigue defendiendo estas prácticas sensatas que mantienen los espacios naturales abiertos y accesibles para todos.
Acerca de BearVault
BearVault diseña innovadores recipientes resistentes a los osos para almacenar alimentos, en los que confían mochileros, senderistas y profesionales de la naturaleza de toda Norteamérica. Aprobados por agencias de gestión territorial, como el Comité Interinstitucional del Oso Grizzly (IGBC), los productos BearVault ayudan a proteger la vida silvestre y promueven la recreación responsable en zonas con osos.
