MSR Exo 2 Cooking System

Item #CAS0532 | 0 in Stock
3 Star Rating

Light, but not much more than quick 2

By Ranked #143 - Pots and Pans - Titanium August 5, 2010

You gotta be very serious about weight saving to get this system. I am, and no regrets, but it sure would be nice to have the non-stick finish of the Quick 2 set.
A second pot isn't usually useful (and in fact, it might be possible to buy it separately and fit it in here, not sure) and if you remove it from the quick 2 set, the mass difference is marginal.
Other than that, a terrific set, though. The strainer lid is useful.
I wonder if the cups could have been lighter. When immersed (e.g. to wash), water gets between the insulator (not removable) and the metal cup, which makes me worried as to the long term effect of water there. Time will tell.

Also, I find it useful to bring plastic utensils (very light) and cut their handle a bit to fit them in. I carry a set for two in there no problem. Also a sponge, a tiny salt and pepper shaker and, in the summer, my MSR Pocket Rocket (without the tank). It all fits comfortably in there.
