4out of 5

Gift: No

Pros: Lightweight, Easy To Clean, Stable, Powerful, Easy to Light, Compact

Best Uses: Hiking, High Altitude, Backpacking

Describe Yourself: Outdoor Professional

What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven

I have used this stove all over the North Cascades and it has never failed me. From warm summer nights at high altitude to cold fall down pours, this stove never misses a beat. The overall construction is excellent, from the steel braided fuel line to the distribution plate at the center of the burner.
There is one complaint however. After a period of no use the fuel regulator sticks a little, but after a little torque you are back in business.
I trusted this stove along the Pacific Crest Trail and it never hesitated. Its a great stove at a great price.
