Snow Peak Trek Series Backpacking/Camping Cookware Sets, Trek 1400 Pot & Pan, 47.3 fl oz

This cookware set is seriously impressive. I’ve used it multiple times now over open flames, and it still looks almost brand new, no black burn marks, no weird discoloration. The titanium is top-quality and lives up to the hype: ultra-lightweight, durable, and easy to clean, even after direct heat.What really stands out is the premium feel. It’s clearly well-crafted, and everything fits together nicely in a compact setup. The weight is almost nothing in my pack, which is a huge deal when backpacking long distances. You barely notice it’s there until you need it.It heats evenly, cools down quickly after cooking, and is just the right size for solo trips or two people. I love that this isn’t just another “nice to have” camping item that is something I’ll use for life. Honestly, it feels like one of those rare investments that pays for itself over time.

I used a different titanium pot until recently, due to unexpected abuse (I slipped and tumbled off the trail, down into a ditch, and landed upside down on top of my backpack - the pot was inside the backpack) the pot became dented, badly, beyond repair or use. The dented pot was a less expensive, thin-walled titanium pot. I read that the Snow Peak Trek 700 is made of a thicker titanium material. This Trek 700 pot is much sturdier, and is still very, VERY LIGHTWEIGHT. A better quality pot compared to my previous, dented pot. It heats quickly, and retains heat a bit better than the previous pot. It will take more cooking use to evaluate, but burnt food (ramen, egg) seems less prone to stick to this pot, so far. The pot lid is also quality titanium, does not snap-fit on the pot, yet remains planted on the pot while cooking. The lid has a drain hole, for draining off pasta, and a sturdy side-loop lid handle. The pot handles fold flat for packing, and open to provide a very sturdy grip for the pot. The handles do get hot while cooking (pot holder recommended). When packing up, the Trek 700 holds my ISO butane canister and stove burner under the lid, with a little extra space left inside for packing small items. The 700 ml capacity makes it large enough for boiling water, cooking pasta and ramen, plus just the right diameter for comfortably drinking coffee or tea (as a mug) without spilling. Pouring hot water from this pot into a cup, or to rehydrate a trail meal, is easy to do. I plan to cover the lid handle with something non-snaggy to protect the mesh carry bag from getting snagged or ripped.

Awesome product, very well made. Just the right size and ultralight weight for overnighter (maybe two or three). These are lighter than most of my Chinese-made titanium rated pots and lids. The colour is lighter too, close to alloy shade. Performance wise the heat transfer is almost immediate. Don’t place on lit stove unless you have water or oil in it as the inside can get burnt easily. I made the silly mistake thinking the snow cold air would take longer time. The mesh however looks flimsy and way too big. The 900 size pot has enough space to put in a well capped gas cannister. Once lid is one it forms an airtight container so just be mindful that any gas that escape may be retained in the container. Overall, very happy with the purchase and would recommend it highly.

As part of an overall backpacking cook kit, I think that the Trek 700 strikes an extremely good balance of lightweight useability and portability. For my scenario, a normal trip would consist of 3-5 nights, eating mostly packaged backpacking food and with coffee in the morning. Rather than carrying a much larger pot, I elected to use the Trek; the main reasoning being that I'm really just boiling water for rehydrating food and for coffee.For those purposes, the Trek is absolutely the perfect size. 700mL is enough to rehydrate food and for a small cup of coffee. But beyond capacity, there are other advantages:-The Trek 700 can fit a 100g fuel can plus a stove and stand inside it. If you're using the Snowpeak Spork, it can fit into the lid spout and the whole package is therefore extremely compact-The Trek 700 can also fit the Jetboil coffee press (and optionally, the Jetboil lid), and that ALSO fits in with fuel and stove-You can use a compact stove, like the BRS-3000T or Snowpeak LiteMax very effectively. While the flame output from these stoves tend to be slightly too narrow to cover the bottom of a larger pot, they are basically perfectly sized to hold and heat the Trek 700.So the whole package is very compact and lightweight.There are two 'downsides', but this is kind of depending on preference:-The lid is kind of useless for me to begin with, but my problem with it is that it just sits on the rim rather than secures around it, meaning it slips around while transporting. It's also actually kind of heavy for a lid, though this probably doesn't matter unless you're the kind of ultralite hiker who shaves grams using thinner socks. You can use a jetboil lid though, which helps because it means you can also use it with the jetboil coffee press and it also provides a lip protector (so you don't need to use Snowpeak's Hot Lips). I sometimes bring one with me, though I find that a homemade cozy is good enough for most use cases.-The handles actually feel kind of weird to me when they're 'deployed', as they spread my hands out pretty wide. I've seen some people fix this by using a different set of handles and added some tubing over them for heat resistance, but I've left mine as is.For me, what I've done was ditched the lid, and created a cozy (top and bottom) out of reflectix. I carry my coffee press, can of fuel, and a BRS-3000T stove inside of it (I can't fit my preferred spoon, a long-handled Toaks titanium one inside it so I keep it separate- which by the way I also highly recommend for eating food out of bags). I would boil a full pot of water, dump some of it into my food, and then throw ground coffee into the pot and put it in its cozy for about 3 minutes. Then I stir, use the coffee press and pour it out into a small cup or just drink direct from the pot. Perfect.If you're someone who likes variety in your food or just likes to actually cook, then you might want to consider an actual pot rather than the Trek's "big cup" design. The Trek by virtue of being a big cup is pretty good for ramen packages and soups for one person, but obviously less so if you were to catch fish on the trail or feeding more than one person, for example.

I was thrilled upon receiving the snow peak trek combo set. This is a really nice cookset that costs a little. But with the cost it is well worth what I paid. I believe this set is a good buy, as it will last a lifetime. So here’s to nature filled sunrises and days of satisfying fresh breezes flora and fauna. Get this set and get outside and enjoy nature with a little bit of comfort. Have your warm meal and a satisfying hot coffee or cocoa t go with it.
