Snow Peak Hybrid Trail Cookset

www.snowpeak.com, 7.9 ounces
The go-light approach typically doesn’t afford much in the way creature comforts or pleasing aesthetics, but we think we’ve found the exception. At first blush, the Hybrid Trail Cookset just looks attractive, with a 26-ounce pot, a 14-ounce frying pan, a mini-spork (all titanium), and a brilliant orange 12-ounce silicone bowl. And it works as well as it looks—the walls of the silicone bowl are pliable enough for the vessel to work as a pitcher for controlled pouring as well as plate or cup, and  the rubber-like tactility of the bowl is also quite…pleasant, especially when using the included spork to scoop your grub.  The entire unit stacks into a 2.5-inch-tall package, with space inside for a small fuel canister, and weighs in at just under eight ounces–plenty light for all but the stingiest of weight-watching backpackers. You won’t be able to cook a meal for an army, but for the solo backcountry diner, it’s perfect.
