Allan backpacking game bags

[T-Dozzer]

Anyone ever try these? I know TAG and carabou bags are great, but these are a qtr of the price and could be disposable if need be. The Allan natural fiber bags are terrible, but these are synthetic and weigh 7oz.

You cant see the actual game bags.  If they are the Allan bags I am thinking of they are pretty cheap, and not good quality.

I notice Amazon also sells the new Allen "quarter" bags for $35. Makes me wonder what these "meat" bags are?

I'm pretty sure this is a new style from Allen as well.

It may not be the answer you are looking for but I use these.

They will hold one boned out deer easily (I carry two for elk).  They have held up very well in the backcountry and I have used them multiple times.  I have gotten a tear in them and they still hold up.  Typically I treat them as "one use only" but I have washed and reused them once.  They are also extremely lightweight and compact, which is why I went with them in the first place rather then a pillow case or something like that. 

Being made of cotton and how they are manufactured, they breath very well.  When I am boneing out, I hang the meat on sticks, branches, bushes, whatever I can to get it to start to cool.  When I am done, I load up the bag.  When I get back to camp, I roll the bag over every few hours on a log or in the back of the truck (In Montana when it is very, very cold) and work the meat around in the bag to let it cool, I have never had any spoilage this way.

One year I couldn't find them at all in stores and Amazon was out too.  Now, I have a nice stock of them and add to it every year.  I think they might be cheaper at Sportsman's at least they were the last time I bought some.

I have two sets of these Allan bags and they've worked well for me.  I've used them for a few friends as well so they wash and repack well.

BLRMan would be a better gear guide than me but for the average joe I'd hazard the Allen bags would be just fine.

Mixed reveiws everywhere I have looked. Maybe not worth the risk. Think I will tough it out and use up the drawer of Alaska game bags I have than order TAG or Caribou.

Thanks

I got my KUIU game bags in the other week (got them early as part of the new Giru platform).  Really well designed.  Especially the boned out meat bag.  I think they'll be my new go to.  Hard to tell until after a season of hard use however.  I am impressed with the seems and the lack of a bottom seam.  For those who pack out on a Stone Glacier or other meat shelf type pack, the sides are orange for a little high vis with antlers on your pack.  I think they will be a big hit after this season.

Vacumed 4 full size Alaskan game bags.
Much more manageable and fit in pack pretty nice.
