Game bags

I have used Allen bags in the past and worked fine. Tried Argali this year for the weight savings. Like the bags and the weight savings but had a quarter bag tear easily from a little snag. Ripped a 2-3” tear in the bag. The bag still held the quarter just fine with the tear.
 
Argali bags are awesome. They dry fast and are probably as light as possible without becoming fragile.

I also have Caribou Gear bags, they are heavier and don't dry nearly as fast.

Edit: Reading some earlier posts. I see drying and sticking to meat with the crust as a good thing.

My buddy has trashed some Argali bags, I'm still using a set I bought 4 years ago without anything more than the reflective logo fading.
 
I have had close to 20 animals in my set of Caribou bags and not a single issue. No holes that I can think of. Wash in dish soap and cold water and they clean up great. I believe I have the Wapiti set. Not the lightest and don’t pack down as small as maybe the some others but I stuff them in the bottom of my pack and never think about them again until I need them. My set fits great in a SG camp pocket with a contractor bag and some 550 cord. I have definitely got my money out of them and will get another set when the time comes.

The Wapiti set has been great for me because it works for everything I might put in them. If I was looking to only have a set for boned out meat, I would just buy 5 of their cape or muley quarter bags and be done with it.
 
I used the TAG bags for several years and liked them. Been using the SG bags since they came out, and really like them. The handle is surprisingly useful, and they’re easier to hang than any other bags I’ve been around.
 
The argali bags are just too fragile and very expensive to have to replace after one use. I went back to caribou bags that were used probably 10 animals and still hole free.

How many pounds of boned out meat do you think a medium SG bag will hold?
 
Another vote for Argali. Especially for backpack hunters. They are very light but with that quality comes the potential for being fragile.
 
VIAM are great as super tough and clean up easy. Only problem I found was an idiot meat processor who cut my cinch cord and had to redo it.
