Comments about GSI Outdoors Pinnacle Soloist Cookset:

This is a great addition to my simple gear, very light and pretty compact. Since i'm hiking with my family this unit easily covers our needs. I was little worry about the handle and how it locks in place but it turned out to be very sturdy. There's also enough storage room for a fuel cell (small) and a burner between bowls.

Comments about GSI Outdoors Pinnacle Soloist Cookset:

After two years of use, I'm not very impressed by this product. Yes, it looks really cool, and fits together very nicely, but it flat out will not hold up with heavy use.

First off the spork is a complete piece of junk. It's made of plastic and comes apart very easily. If you don't believe me got to REI and pull one out of the box and see for yourself. You might as well take it from the package and throw it in the trash.

The cup is one solid piece of thin plastic so it obviously won't fall apart, but the problem is that it will not keep your hot drinks hot for long at all. That may not seem like a big deal sitting around the campfire at 9pm, but in the AM when you're running around camp packing things up it really sucks picking up your cup of coffee just to find it warm or even cold.

The pot itself works well. I've boiled water and cooked in it on many occasions. The lid is nice too, and I usually leave it on while boiling water. The only gripe I have with the pot is the handle. It tends to come loose from the locking mechanism on the pot itself. It's an easy fix, but a pain in the butt. Again, I would encourage you to pull one out of the box at REI and see how the handle works. Open and close it a few times. I would be willing to bet you'll have problems.

The one redeeming quality in this set is the actual stuff sack it comes with, which doubles as a water carrier. I usually fill it up with water and cinch it so I have some extra in camp, and to save trips back and forth from my water source. This sack is durable and does not leak. I would give it 5 stars if I could rate it by itself.

On a side note if you use an MSR Pocket Rocket then you might want to reconsider buying this product, as it is just too long to fit inside. Which brings me to another point: All of my kitchen and bathroom kit fits inside this pot (except my stove). I put a small fuel canister at the bottom, followed by the cup upside down and packed with toothbrush, toothpaste, bear bag kit( I use spectra cord and a mini carabiner)lighter, soap, and TP. My spork then slides into the bag next to the pot. Now that I think about it, this pack-ability is probably my favorite thing about this set.

Comments about GSI Outdoors Pinnacle Soloist Cookset:

Overall this is an excellent cookware set and I use this set with a Snow Peak LiteMax stove.

First off, the packability (is that a word) is fantastic. The stove I own is designed to be used with Snow Peak GigaPower canisters, which will fit perfectly into the pot along with the stove itself, spoon, and cup. I have used other brands of fuel such as Jet Boil and, although there is no issues with the stove, it will not fit into the pot very well. I can still get everything in, but the lid will not fit like it is supposed to. As long as I use the recommended brand everything is compact and lightweight, however, I cannot say this will be true for other stoves and canisters.

The quality of the cooking pot is great. I've dropped it countless times and all I've managed to do to it is make one little dent. It is very easy to clean as all that is needed is to rinse with a little bit of water and wipe with a cloth. Done!

The downside to this set is the bowl/cup. In fact, it really is neither. Its just a container since there is no handle (to pack nicely) and it can't be used as a bowl since it is a little too shallow and small. What I like to use it for is to drink hot chocolate or cider in the mornings or evenings.

I have no qualms about the spork, although there is really no room for praise either. Its lightweight, but a little flimsy. Its a spork. What else is there to say.

In summary, this set is worth the money and if you are a backpacker who likes to have nice cookware without the weight then this is the one to have.

Comments about GSI Outdoors Pinnacle Soloist Cookset:

I have been using this cooking kit for over a year now. It's extremely reliable and compact. I got a small SOTO stove to go with it, it all fits snugly with the bowl all in one single container. I do a lot of day hikes, sometimes I need to cook hot water for my food, or just pan fry something yummy. OR ramen noodles. OR need to purifier some water for my 1 liter container. This system is perfect because it can hold 1.1 liters of water in the cook canister. I love to cook outdoors. It's so much fun. I highly recommend this product.

Comments about GSI Outdoors Pinnacle Soloist Cookset:

This kit fits together nicely and is pretty sturdy. While not the lightest option, it is designed well and is not "heavy". I like to just take the pot, lid and spork... leave the cup at home to save a little weight. As mentioned, the spork feels quite fragile. I like this kit a lot. See my video review for more details.

This is a great little kit with a compact design. It has proven durable, is fairly light and the no-stick cooking surface works well. The bag holds water and doubles as a little sink. See my video review for more details.
