Our ratings (out of 10)
1 to 10, compared with the whole market. Each says what it's based on. How we score
Weight for its size
From maker's figures 6/10How much it adds to your pack for the amount it holds. 6: A bit better than average.
Alpkit gives 596 g for the whole set (pots 143 g and 175 g, lids/pans 113 g and 165 g) and pot sizes of 1 L and 1.7 L. We count only those two stated capacities, 2.7 L: 596 g for 2.7 L = 221 g per litre, in the 220-299 g/L band (only just). Alpkit gives no litre figure for the two frying-pan lids.

Good for
- Cooking for two to four people on longer trips, or a group meal
- Boiling 1.7 L at once for several freeze-dried pouches

Strengths
- The 1 L pot stacks inside the 1.7 L pot
- Rubber-coated, detachable handles
- 3-year Alpine Bond (repair, replace or refund)
Weaknesses
- 596 g is heavy for a solo trip: 221 g per litre, middling for weight
- Aluminium, hand wash only (Alpkit warns dishwasher detergent can pit it)
- Made in China (Alpkit lists the origin)
- No independent review found; Alpkit's own site is the only UK shop we found
