The new Frontier Ultralight Cook set is a brilliant redesign in the Sea to Summit line up. As an alpine climber, I obsess over both weight and space savings and this new cook set checks both boxes. I paired the cook set with a jet boil Mighty Moe and compared it to my `` go to '' MSR reactor kit with Sea to Summit cup and bowl. The Frontier Ultralight cook set weights in at 20 grams heavier than the MSR however, it provides 2 cups, 2 bowls, and a 2. 2 liters pot. It also seems to pack better in a rucksack which is critical when trying to jam everything into a smaller rucksack. The space and weight savings when considering two people, is definitely making this new cook set my `` go to '' for summer adventures!

[ I absolutely recommend the frontier five piece collapsible set for your camping needs. I wish that I would have had this product for the last 30 years that I 've been camping and not just discovered it recently. It takes up very little room makes for easy packing and is great durability for outdoors

[ This is such a great set that fits all together perfect for traveling. The utensils snap together& are decent sized for adults& children to use. I love that it includes a microfiber type of cloth to protect the pots from moving around. The material is very durable and will hold heat very well. Highly recommend for those looking for a set that comes with a bit of everything

We 've only used these a few times but they seem really sturdy and like they will hold up. We were happy with the colors and color choices. The dunk bag seems really well made, too. I 'm only hesitant to say these are awesome because we have barely used them to know. On that note though we do plan to purchase a set in each color for future camping trips.

5 Fwassink
I 've used this on two week long camping trips( my husband has one too). It has been perfect! We have different colors, so it makes it easy to pack. It cleans easy and quick, is light, does n't take a lot of room.

5 Momof3
It held up well and we are very pleased with our purchase.

We bought this for my new scout and it's perfect because it comes with the mesh bag so he can keep everything in one place. very durable so far. easy to clean and it does n't scratch easy.

I brought it for my sons BoyScout gear, green is his favorite color, if nothing else, I thought it would stand up to a 11 year old use.
