Sea To Summit Frontier Ketel 1,3 L Zwart, Wit

Boiling water at camp just got easier with the Frontier Kettle. Whether you're a solo backpacker heating water for a dehydrated meal or a group leader preparing morning coffee for the crew, this 1.3-litre kettle collapses to a mere 30 mm height, slipping into tight pack spaces. Its hard-anodized aluminium base spreads heat quickly and evenly over gas, liquid fuel, or canister stoves, while the food-grade silicone walls keep the weight down and stay cool to the touch. The glass-reinforced nylon lid locks in place with the integrated LidKeep™, and its strainer holes let you pour pasta or vegetables straight from the pot. A precision pour spout delivers a controlled stream, so you can fill a mug or bottle without splashing. When the meal is done, the kettle nests with other Frontier cookware and rinses clean with a quick hand wash.
