Kind of heavy for backpacking, but for car camping, good stuff. Plenty big enough for a hearty meal and stows well with one plate.

I bought the small. It is lightweight and very rugged. It weighs only 2.3 oz. It is large enough to hold 1/2 of a Mountain House 2.5 serving meal, and more.

I bought one each of S, M & L sizes thinking they would stack effeciently with my existing cookset. They don't.

The difference in size is about 1" of diameter between each plate. Perhaps they compliment the MSR pots better than when used just as a bunch of plates or when paired with other brands of pots.

They are made out of a thin polypropylene that seems durable and the back states they are good for up to 220 degrees F.

love how it works as a bowl/plate hybrid....very durable, and it packs well with my cookset(optimus terra). i couldnt see carrying more than one per pack for backpacking though...

I expected better design coming from MSR.

One plate nests inside (or outside, depending on pot/plate size) pots just fine. However, this is possible with only one single plate. Plates of the same size have straight walls that are not tapered at the bottom, making it impossible to stack multiple plates inside each other. Maybe MSR will get it right with the next version...

Plate material is durable enough.

Plate works great as a bowl or plate, eliminating the need to carry both.

4 stars on material/durability.
2 stars on shortsighted design.

This thing works great. Big enough for any meal and the high sides mean you can squirm around to get comfortable when sitting on the ground without spilling. It nests with my GSI frypan nicely too. Works as a lid for the frypan as well, though the bottom of the plate says its rated to only 220F so I only used it while it was heating up, not once it was close to up to temp. A higher temp rating and this would get a full five stars.
