Hyperlite Mountain Gear Glacier Minimalist

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Minimalist is in the name, minimalist in nature, but i think capable of big adventures, this all in one cook system could be a game-changer.

GSI Outdoors says: 

Beyond the bulk and burden of basic ultralight backpacking, the Minimalist stands alone. The peak of reductive efficiency, the Minimalist has no handles to hack off, no bowls to leave behind and no coatings to add unnecessary fuss or weight. Quite simply, the Minimalist is as close as you can come to not carrying anything at all while still bringing everything you need. Beyond fast + light, beyond the bleeding edge, beyond belief: the Minimalist.

Our Verdict

A 0.6L pot (perfect for most dehydrated meals) with a well-fitting lid that transforms in to an insulated drinking vessel; simply place the pot in its “sleeve” and turn over the lid to keep the heat in and bugs out. The Halulite is made from stainless steel, so although light it is also robust and hardwearing. 

The kit also comes with a pot grip and a telescoping Spork, that should be “Foon”. The pot is the right size to fit in a 100g gas container and a micro stove (such as a MSR pocket rocket or SOTO Amicus). Making this an all-in-one camp kitchen set up that packs down incredibly small, really living up to its minimalist name.
