No more burnt fingers
The combination of a backpacking stove and a titanium or aluminium cooking pot is designed to be super heat-efficient. The problem with that is your pot gets blisteringly hot inside a minute. Which means that when it’s time to take it off the heat, things can get tricky. Metal pot grippers are good, but a little bulky and heavy. So up until now, the ultralight solution has normally been to use a smelly hiking sock. Gross. GSI’s ingenious silicon microgripper weighs just 14 g but is worth that weight in gold, enabling you to ditch the sock and snatch hot pots and pans from a stove without burning your fingers. It measures just 2 inches by 1.5 inches – and if that sounds easy to lose, don’t worry. It attaches magnetically to your fuel canister while cooking so it’s always at hand. It’ll also fit in that little indentation in the base of a gas canister, so it won’t mess up your nesting cookset.

The best outdoor gear is stuff that solves a problem – like how to cook on the trail, in all weather. And if a piece of kit solves a particular problem in a unique and effective way, then all the better. GSI Outdoors is a US brand that understands this intimately. It embodies their entire approach to manufacturing outdoor gear. In fact, the clue is even in the name: those three initials, GSI, stand for Gear Solutions and Innovations.
Established back in 1985 and now based in Spokane, Washington, in the heart of the rugged Pacific Northwest, the company is still family-owned. But its passion for great food in the great outdoors is unwavering, even after three decades. The result is a superb range of lightweight cooking equipment designed for backpackers and wild campers. Because nothing sustains your adventures like a hot meal. Besides, as we all know, food always tastes better when cooked and eaten outside.
