Comments about Snow Peak Hybrid Trail Cookset:
This is a great cook set. Very light (2.6 oz pot, 2.2 oz frypan, 2.6 oz bowl, 0.5 oz spork, 0.3 oz mesh sack) and durable. Since there is no non-stick coating on this I bring a small 2" piece of scouring pad, no big deal. I love how this all collapses together to pack small.

Comments about Snow Peak Hybrid Trail Cookset:
I received this great kit for Christmas as a gift and I just used this for the first time out on a hike. I boiled 1 1/2 cups of water to make some dehydrated chili, then once it was prepared I ate out of the pot. Since the chili was hot I put the pot on top of the fry pan so I could hold it without the metal getting too hot. I also ate rice pudding out of the squish bowl, which was very stable and easy to use. I haven't yet cooked anything with the frying pan, but it works great as a lid for the pot. The whole set is the perfect size for one person or even two since you can eat both out of the bowl and out of the pot. You can fit a fuel canister in it easily along with the included spork, along with any other small items. In mine I have a small stove igniter. Overall, this is a great cookset which is perfect for backpacking, lightweight or otherwise.

Comments about Snow Peak Hybrid Trail Cookset:
I used this cookset this last weekend on several occasions. I found it to be too small to really cook anything practically- although I did try to scramble some eggs which I scorched in less than 6 seconds. However, for boiling water it was EXCELLENT. The squishy bowl is also really practical. I wasn't sure initially that I would take the bowl and simply just eat out of the pot. However, the ease of cleaning the squishy bowl means I'll use the squishy bowl with the kit as designed.
I did find it necessary to make two modifications to this kit that improved the useability. First, I used a permanent marker to make measuring lines on the squishy bowl. This let me quickly and accurately measure out 4, 8, 12 or 16 ounces of water at a time. The second change I found necessary was coating the handles of the cookware. Without the rubber coating, I found the handles became to hot to handle with bare hands.
Since making these two modifications, I am very pleased. The only other thing I wish they would do is make one more nested squishy bowl that could be used as a cup- even if it weren't part of the kit but sold as a component designed to fit as nicely as the other components in this kit.
Altogether, giving it 4 out of 5 stars.

Comments about Snow Peak Hybrid Trail Cookset:
The pot shape makes it smaller at the base, unlike the more cylindrical pots. As such I was a little wary of stability, especially with a good load of water in it. The metal handles are not coated as with other cooksets, so be VERY careful not to burn yourself as a result of flame licking up the side of the pot/pan.
A fantastic benefit of this cookset however is the skillet. It's the perfect size for heating up certain corn tortillas, and has opened up possibilities for other backpack-cuisine ideas.
This is a great complement to my other titanium cookset. If you're camping with multiple folks, taking this along to accommodate more capacity is well worth it.

I have to be honest I have not cooked on this yet so i don't know how well it distributes heat. I used the pan as a plate once but haven't been out alone yet and its too small for two people. Notice I said !Small! Very small read the dimensions before you buy. It could be not enough or just right that depends on you. I would say just right for one, Hence "soloist" oh and the spork is stupid small. I think... border line eating with your fingers.

Comments about Snow Peak Hybrid Trail Cookset:
It's so light. I do not use the bowl because it is kinda flimsy and easily spills. Don't get me wrong it's alright, but one little bump and your dinner/tea/insert warm food here is all over you or the ground. you just can get a good hold on it. And the bowl also weighs just as much as the pot and pan put together.
When cooking be sure to use oil/butter or have a stove that has simmer control otherwise your food will burn quick and you will have to spend some time scraping it clean. From time to time this will happen to you and when it does just take your time and not to use too much pressure otherwise you might get a scratch in the bowl that will get food residue in it easily.
I love how the pan is the lid to the pot. and it could store quite a bit of stuff. I use it in the backcountry and can fit an alcohol stove, fuel for a few days, utensils, and handkerchiefs/cleaning cloths in it.

Perfect for the solo backpacker. Really what more do you need? I don't always take the mushy bowl to save weight. The only con is that I don't care for the spork. I prefer the Light My Fire Spork. It is lighter and more functional with a real spoon (no tines to get in the way).

Great dishes, no problems for the first three years of heavy use. Lately they have started to warp and turn pretty colors. And one of the handles got bent pretty bad -- but still works, just doesn't fit together so well anymore. No worries though cause I still love them and will use them till the end. I would totally buy them again. Since I live in NZ now and you stay in huts here, people always fell sympathetic for me cause of how small they are and the sad state they are in and offer me their pretty pots. I love mine too much to not use them. Get them, you will love them

Everything one person need to cook. I've cooked pancakes eggs and baked bisquits. And for under 50 dollars less than one rei pan. If you don't have money to blow this is for you.

This is just the perfect setup for backpacking. At a lightweight 7.9oz, I use this for everything, and it's super versatile. The pot comfortably holds enough water to boil for a dehydrated meal, yet you could also cook a small meal in it. The frypan/lid is really the bonus here. Perfect for cooking a couple of eggs or a small pancake. I have even used it for baking brownies/muffins, (on a super low flame). The bowl, is the perfect size and easy to eat of of, unlike the awkwardness of the other guyot squishy bowls.
This can even suffice for two people if you are creative. I have used the pot to boil water for my own dehydrated chili, and while waiting for the chili, cooked some cornbread in the fry pan.
Your fuel nests inside the pot/pan/bowl combination, so it's space saving. One word of caution tho.....like any other cooksets where you can store your fuel inside, line the pot with a folded paper towel to avoid scratches, or rust if the pot is not completely dry.
Small, ultra lightweight, convenient and versatile! The only thing I wish, is that Snow Peak would provide heat-proof handles, like the Pinnacle soloist, or rei titanium cups.
