Comments about GSI Outdoors Halulite Microdualist Cookset:
I was really excited after purchasing this cook set it seemed like just the thing I needed! I took into account the other reviews responses to the utensils being flimsy but since I already had substitutes for that I wasn't to concerned. When I finally got the package I opened it up just to marvel at my purchase and took apart the set to admire its compactness.
The first thing that I saw was the design of the hinge it requires you to pinch it together in order to maneuver into a pot handle position works fine for me was kind of expecting something different. The lid itself is made of plastic and has a fold up tab in order to remove the lid. Another person commented that they wished the lid was made of metal, so that it could triple as a signal mirror and digging implement should you find yourself stranded or looking for the lightest way to travel by removing unnecessary tools. The other thing they mentioned was that the lid could also be used as a skillet and if need be the pot could just be placed in a fire (due to unforeseen circumstances such as running out of fuel, lost, etc.
The cup/bowels are really nice and fit right inside of each even when the cup has the insulating feature which is really cool. But upon further inspection there were some features I didn't care so much for that I wish were mentioned before such as the lid seems a little thin on the cup. I personally would have preferred it a little thicker to help keep those hot drinks last longer but what I couldn't fathom was the insulating layer on the cups.
At first sight they seemed as though they covered all sides. However it was not so they did not cover the bottom of the cups which personally I thought as a flaw considering there use in possible snow conditions (of which I had just returned from). The ground or snow would just suck the warmth right out of them. You can see what I mean in the pictures.
Lastly there was a real problem with the utensils they were flimsy beyond a doubt, you'll probably be better off bringing a spork for utensil set from a cafeteria rather than these. The track that holds them together has the likelihood of getting foot stuck in there and the overall design makes them flimsy.
All in all it's not a bad backpacking set but these are some considerations to think about.

Comments about GSI Outdoors Halulite Microdualist Cookset:
This is a great cookset! I was recommended this by a freind of mine who camps a lot for a trip I was about to take, and I'm glad I got it. It's compact and lightweight, and can hold everything else needed except the food. I was able to store the stove (MSR PocketRocket), a small fuel canister, a firestsarter, and the GSI food scraper, all inside this cookset! I've mostly made soup in here, as well as a couple other easy dishes, and it works really well and cleans fast. The nesting bowls are super clever. The fabric 'sink' case is really smart and works well.
It took some time to figure out how to fit the PocketRocket stove inside it, but once I got it figured out, it goes in pretty easily (it's a tight fit). I hear the MicroRocket is smaller and fits better, but it wasn't available when I bought mine.

Comments about GSI Outdoors Halulite Microdualist Cookset:
I sent this back when I found out the lid to the pot is plastic. In a survival situation, your metal pot needs a metal lid.
You need the ability to embed your pot into the fire when you have no camp stove. To make char cloth for example.
If it was metal, the lid itself can be used as a cooking skillet, singaling device or digging tool.
The design needs a little more thought. Perhaps from the end users perspective.

Comments about GSI Outdoors Halulite Microdualist Cookset:
I bought this cookset because I wanted a cookset that was lightweight and stores everything you need inside. I especialy love how the cup fits right inside the bowl. I personaly have no problems with foons(Sporks). The kitchen sinks also makes cleaning a flash. This cookset also stores a 100g fuel cansister my Snow Peak Giga Power Stove and the Windscreen. Awsome product GSI!!!

Comments about GSI Outdoors Halulite Microdualist Cookset:
This set worked out great for a 5-day backpacking trip, and will be great for several more. The nesting capabilities are awesome and fit my Snow Peak stove nicely. There are a few things I think need improvement but overall they are minor. The eating utensils slide out and snap once in place but there are nooks where food can get stuck and they are not the easiest to clean. My last trip was in bear country and I was a little extra cautious about keeping the cookset far from camp as a result of concerns over trapped food and scent. The folding handle almost comes apart if it gets tilted when opening and closing. The inclusion of a longer utensil for mixing and scraping the bottom of the pot would be appreciated. The "cup bowls" have an insulating cozy that stays wet and dries a little too slow for convenient multi-day use; I worry about mold and/or mildew occurring after days of continuous use. The lid gets really hot when bowling water. The stove pocket is really great for keeping the eating utensils strapped to your backpack, or separate from the stove, for long days of hiking and breaking to eat foods that doesn't need stove preparation.

Comments about GSI Outdoors Halulite Microdualist Cookset:
Nice cook set with plenty containers for two in well-designed stacking. Packs inside pot with option to include a small stove and fuel canister. The weakest parts are the spoons, which are flimsy.

Comments about GSI Outdoors Halulite Microdualist Cookset:
Plenty of options with this kit. Two bowls, two mugs with lids, and two Foons provide plenty of beverage and meal options for a couple of campers cooking over a number of different heat sources. When traveling solo, leave half the kit out to shave a few ounces.
If the bowls/mugs were just slightly wider, a larger 220g fuel canister could nest easily in this kit. For a two person setup, this is a totally reasonable expectation, especially since the the pot and bowls are wide enough. Minus 0.5 Stars.
The Tele-Foons are the only true failure. Too weak to handle even the most modest of stirs, scoops, scrapes, or slurps, one Foon failed on the second day of use while the other survived daily use for more than two weeks.
I suspect that the Foons were designed by people who do not use their own product (or quality control or management decisions sabotaged a decent idea). Whatever happened: Minus 1.5 Stars!
Widen the bowl/mug combo by a couple millimeters and de-Fool the Foons and this Kit by GSI becomes a Five-Star product.
I would recommend this product, but would caution against trusting the Foons.

Comments about GSI Outdoors Halulite Microdualist Cookset:
Other than a simple pot this was my very first complete cook kit. I got the set expecting just the bowls, pot, etc and then I find out that I can nest my stove and gas in the same package?? Perfect. I was torn between this and the snow peak starter kit. I went with this because I tend to have more than myself on excursions and if I need to cut weight I can leave some bowls/foons at home. It is a bit bulkier than the snow peak starter kit but much smaller than my tea kettle and coleman white gas stove.
I will say that the foons are kinda weak feeling but pack well. They do have some crannies that make them a little difficult to clean in the field.
