May 10, 2016

Think flat

Firstly, sea to Summit has a different take on space-saving cookware. The X-Pot is a collapsible pot, sporting a anodized aluminum base and heat-resistant silicone walls that go from about 2½ inches tall, folding down to about an inch. That makes it easy to tuck into any narrow slot in a backpack. There’s even a clear lid, complete with strainer, that nestles onto the rim. The X-Pot comes in 4-, 2.8- and 1.4-liter sizes, plus it’s BPA free.

Collapsible Cooksets

Your collapsible cookset is complete with the X-Cup and X-Mug, the X-Plate and X-Bowl, and now there’s even the X-Kettle. The 1.3-liter X-Kettle can be used as a cook pot or a small kettle for brewing your favorite tea on the trail. It comes with a lid, handles and a pouring spout.

Lastly, the X-Pot and X-Kettle are designed to fit on a backpacking stove. Just take care to keep the flame centered, so it won’t touch the silicone walls.
