DESIGN & ERGONOMICS

One of the most elegant objects here: restrained metal form, quiet burner and four genuinely useful folding arms. It feels composed rather than aggressively ultralight.

LONGEVITY

Its durable arms and straightforward mechanism should wear well. No complex regulator or integrated system to service; use a lighter/ignition source and avoid overheating a small pot in wind.
