In this short video, I take a close look at two titanium pots that I've been using quite a bit while trekking, giving you the pros and cons of each and providing some geeky information as well: the MSR Titan Kettle 85 and the Snow Peak Trek 700 Mug. Let me know if you have any questions, I'm sure I missed a thing or two, lol!
Correction: Snow Peak claims the lid is made of a thick and heavier gauge titanium, not stainless steel. That being said it is heavy for it’s size and seems to be a common complaint among backpackers.
Main takeaways:
Snow Peak Trek 700:
The size is more like 850ml.
Nicer handles, better feel when holding.
Heavy and quirky lid.
Less expensive.
MSR Titan Kettle:
We're unsure if it is pure titanium or alloyed with aluminium and vanadium.
More versatile due to it's shape.
Nicer and tighter lid.
Seems to be more popular than the Snow Peak form comments and reviews here and elsewhere online.
The Giveaways has now ended and the winner is Ninth Element!
I will do another giveaway at 750 so stay tuned!
