Sea to Summit Alpha Pot
Best lightweight cookware for space conscious backpackers.
This is the rare piece of backcountry gear that actually makes camp cooking feel civilized. The clever locking handle and integrated strainer lid solve the most annoying parts of trailside meal prep, though the hard-anodized finish demands a bit more care than non-stick alternatives to keep it pristine.
