Review for model:

I have been using this set already on several, or maybe even a dozen, trips. Unfortunately, as others have noticed, I am starting to see a problem with the handle. I get the impression that the rubber is not very resistant to high temperatures and quickly starts to melt, and a small gap has already appeared where the handle is attached. The heat conduction is also not the best. On the plus side, it is quite light. Well, I was mainly guided by the low price, and that's exactly the product I got. Next time, I will probably choose riveted titanium. I wouldn't buy this set a second time.

The set of pots works great outdoors. They are very lightweight and water really heats up quickly in them. You just have to be careful when cooking over a fire because the rubber part of the handle melts instantly. Apart from that, I can confidently recommend them.

My pot handle also fell off during washing. After making a complaint, I received a replacement, which is working well for now, although I have only used it twice so far. So I am giving two stars for the speed of boiling.

I bought the mess tins for a four-day trek in the mountains – their lightness was a big advantage, but unfortunately they didn't survive even those few days without damage. First the handle of the larger one fell off, and the next day the entire handle of the smaller one. Unfortunately, I do not recommend this product.

The pot is indeed very light and the water boils quickly, which is why I am giving it two stars. However, the handle came off after just a few washes. The shop processed my complaint quickly, but the new one had the same fault straight out of the box (one weld was already loose). I definitely do not recommend it – it is better to choose the riveted version, because aluminium welds are definitely a poor solution.
