Making your own trail meals?If you're dehydrating or prepping your own food, pack it in a bag that's safe for boiling water, then slip it into your cozy. We recommend these: Packit Gourmet Boilable Bags →

I have one of the silver fold over cozies, it works well. I saw these and knew I had to have one because they have a bit more stlye while functioning as it should.

Perfect little food cozy

I contemplated making a food cozy of my own like my boyfriend did, but bought this instead. We both hiked the PCT together using our food cozies and this one lasted WAY longer than the homemade option he chose. In the end, I’ve purchased a second food cozy so I don’t have to keep sharing. Daily use over thousands of miles has proven this thing can hold its own!

groovy cozy

I just want to crawl inside this cute little cozy. It really helps keep my Farm to Summit food hot while it is soaking up the water.

Cozy little cozy!

Bought these as gifts for avid camper friends, and to be honest, I was a little worried they’d be too cute to be as functional as other brands whose cozies look like cybertrucks. WRONG! They are the perfect size for an individual meal (and even doubles for most dehydrated food packets), and kept the food piping hot. I’d love to see even more designs because I’m a sucker for the Kula Cloth aesthetic (translation: I want one for myself donning the creepy cat in a muumuu).

Keeps food cozy!

I've only had the opportunity to use the food cozy a couple times while solo camping during the summer, but it worked perfectly. I was able to add my boiling water to the bag of food, stick it in the cozy, put my cook stove away, and start a painting while I waited for my meal to rehydrate. Once the time was up for the food to be done, it was still piping hot and stayed hot as I took intermittent bites while painting. I could see it being even more useful while camping or backpacking in colder temperatures.

Kula × Discovering Wilderness food Cozy

Hi, Anastasia...! We love Our new food cozys... The only issue was the stitching on the Velcro closure failed on both of them first time out..! Not a big deal, as My Wife is quite handy with a needle and thread.... And I'm sure that if that was an ongoing problem, it's been resolved by now... These work very well, and are a pleasure to admire while waiting for dinner to be ready..! Cheers, John....

Warm for Hours!

I've used this cozy bag in cold weather, several times now. Kept my backpacking meals hot for at least an hour, and warm for three hours after putting the meal in the cozy. I was a little surprised that it works so well! I need to get one or two more for my sides. Well-done!

Amazing

I took this for a weeklong backpacking trip to isle royale and just got back today. It helped cook my meals so well and sometimes when I was cold I would boil water and put it in an empty bag, seal it up and make it into a hand warmer. My partner and I both shared it but I'm back to get another one cause then we can eat at the same time! I also spilled couscous liquid all over it the last day but was able to hand wash it out and it dried pretty quickly while on the boat back to my car. It really helped my food cook quicker cause of the metalic liner covered in insulation. I'm bad at waiting for food to cook so the extra weight was worth it to me!

Game changer for ul cooking

I use an Esbit stove and a vargo bot for cooking, very minimalist. I just kind of accepted that having a meal that was both warm and also not burned onto my pot was unlikely for the weight of my system, but this warming bag fits the bot perfectly and keeps everything warm while rehydrating. It is similar to freezer bag cooking but without the plastic issue. I heated water, poured in my meal (shout out to Backcountry Foodie) and closed the lid on the bot and put it in the cozy. It stands sideways with the Velcro on one side to fit. Also works amazing with mylar bags. I used this method on a two week section hike in the smokies and it was such a huge morale boost to have a hot meal at the end of those wild climbs. Worth the tiny extra weight to have proper comfort food. Get one!
The only wear I noticed after the trip was a little fraying of the fuzzy lining where it encounters the Velcro at times, when you don't line it up perfect the Velcro grabs at the fluff instead. Minor, does not impede function at all.
