I've been using the Caldera Cone for a few years now and it really has been excellent, super efficient, clean and ultralight, the only downside has been the length of time to cook and the limitation of only being able to use Meths. We've recently been sent the titanium version of the Caldera Cone, designed for larger pots and will fit fully inside the pot. The beauty with TiTri Sidewinder is that it can be used with either Meths, Hexy Blocks or with the ...

Lightwaves Ultrahike 60 arrived today, an ultralight bag capable of comfortably carrying up to 15 kg (18kg max). The bag is virtually waterproof with a watertight lid and large main compartment, side compression system and 8mm internal aluminium frame.

Full details on all of these are available from http://www.drinksafe-systems.co.uk/products.php ...

We'll be testing the Exos over the coming few weeks so a full review to follow. All new review ...
