More than I expected

Great headlight. You could easily go to a big chain store and by a piece of crap for twice what you pay for this. A lot of people have complained about the connection to the headband and how it might come off. I personally think that the connection is great, it can easily be transferred to your sternum strap of your pack if you don't like the headband deal like myself. Plenty of light and weighs nothing. Great buy! |

Have had this for quite some time now and it is really a nice little system. I can fit my entire cook system inside of the pot which really makes orginization a breeze. The pot is easily big enough for two people and the halulite seems to be holding up very well. The weight is a bit heavier compared to straight up Ti cookware but it is much cheaper and is very durable. Great cookset2 hikers, a bit heavy for 1 hiker but overall very versatile. I love it. |

I love this set. I don't think I could have found a more compact full cook kit for the price and weight. The pot is plenty stable on my tiny Optimus Crux. The insulated mug is great but it does hold smell a bit, have to give it a good wash at home. I certainly wouldn't use it for food, just eat out of the pot. It does serve its purpose for tea and coffee. The welded seam stuff sac is a nice addition but is probly more of a novelty than function. Overall a fantastic set. Would definetly buy again. |

Just got this stove and have yet to field test it but so far I think it will do. Pros: tiny, you can fit this thing just about anywhere, doesn't quite fit under the 220 as well as I would like and will probly just thow it on top of the canister in my pot. The flame adjustment is great. Unlike others who say it is hard to adjust I would disagree, you can easily get this thing to simmer. Cons: no need to wast the time and ounces with the included carry case, top seems to be a bit wobbly and unstable, something I may be able to remedy with a quick tightening or whatnot, certainly not something I would leave unattended. Overall I am pretty happy with it. I'm guessing it will serve its purpose and be a part of my gear for a long time to come. |
