Sea to Summit Ultra-Sil Bucket – Gear Review

Carry over two gallons of water effortlessly in the Sea to Summit Ultra-Sil bucket and then store the bucket in it’s own micro stuff sack that slips in your pants pocket. It is so lightweight (1 oz) and compact that you won’t even remember which pocket you put it into!


Ideal for transporting potable water, to put out a fire, or to take a sponge bath in a more secluded spot, this bucket is a useful addition to anyones backpacking gear.

The PVC free nylon fabric does not absorb the water, and is coated with a food grade TPU-coating (berry picking anyone?). There is no need to worry about not be able to dry off the bucket, as the storage stuff sack has drain holes in it to drain off any excess moisture (though it would probably not be a good idea to store it long term without drying it off properly).

The handles are as comfortable as one would expect of a bucket and are well made and are fastened very securely to the bucket.

While carrying so much water don’t worry about spilling a drop because not only is it fully seam sealed and leak proof but the water does not slosh around as you walk!

Being able to carry 2.6 gallons to the campsite is always handy but especially if the only water source is some distance away from camp. Is is not free standing but the bucket can be hung on a branch.

The Sea to Summit Ultra-Sil Bucket is so compact and so lightweight that there is no reason not to take it, and makes water transportation so easy that there is every reason to make sure to include it!
