Yeah it was pretty amazing it got through the outer sack and not the smell proof sack. IDK why but it happened that way and sure glad it did. As for the hand touching the outside of the smell proof sack, that's a very good point. Makes me wonder how effective the smell proof sack actually is. I know for one it's at least another protective layer between my food and the natural environment.
Sometimes I like to hike and think, And sometimes I just like to hike.
Hiking is'ent about waiting for the storm to pass its about learning to hike in the rain.
If it's anything like mine, by the time I get done lugging my food around in a pack crammed in with all my other stuff.... it couldn't be any worse. I always chuckle when someone advertises their system as preventing crushing. Even the bear canisters I've seen have looked like everything got smashed. Trail food is just funny that way.
I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.

Great video, but now i want to/need to, know what type of material that bag is made from. This would make a great gear hammock for hanging next to you at night, or up in the trees so nothing can get at your food or gear.
Nice video! But now I have another piece of gear to buy. Someone was making bags out of automobile airbags.

Can't get a review better than that
I did a review for BGT a few months back. Hope this helps.

Nice work! Might get an Ursack after that vid! I have been using a Garcia Bear Canister. Nothing is getting into that, but it is pretty bulky to lug around. I do have a slew of smell-free plastic bags that I still use inside the canister in the deeper woods.
The Ursack just might meet my needs for a less bulky food storage system. I have had Racoons actually manage to untie the rope when hanging my food! Clever little beasties!
Thanks for the live testing video!!
