Jetboil

Zip 0.8L Stove

Jetboil Zip

I have not used the one that I ordered as of yet. I bought this because a buddy of mine has it and have used it a few times and it is great. Much lighter than my old setup and is much faster, meaning less fuel. I don't mind that it doesn't have an igniter, I tend to just throw a mini Bic in the cup and leave it there, not to mention I always have another lighter with me for emergencies.

Definitely an improvement

Great budget-friendly backpacking stove

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Jetboil makes fantastic products. This is my 2nd Jetboil Zip and while these things are great, they are held back by not having a built-in ignition source. The slightly more expensive Flash solves this issue and is definitely worth the higher price point. I have used both the Flash and Zip extensively and while I love both; the Flash is going to be picked every time. That being said, the Zip is a great option if you always have a lighter handy and you are looking to get into backpacking. They both utilize Jetboil's patented technology that boils water extremely fast and are the perfect coolest to your freeze-dried backpacking meals or ramen noodles. Jetboil gave me this free product to try.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Disclaimer: Jetboil gave me this product free to test. With that being said I will be reviewing this product as unbiasedly as possible. I am an avid backpacker and have been for quite some time. In the past I have used previous models and versions of Jetboils products. Shown in the picture is both the older model of the Zip and the new version. Weight: (g) Old- 357 New- 362 Length: (") Old- 6 1/16 New- 6 7/16 Time to Boil 1L (average in seconds of 3 trials) Old- 161 New- 135 In conclusion while the newer model is slightly heavier and larger it does boil faster than previous models due to design. Additionally the fuel adjustment knob is significantly larger, featuring a cool topographical texture, making adjustments easier. Overall a significant improvement on previous models. Would love to see an ultralight option from Jetboil in the future.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using Jetboil systems for years, and this latest model continues the brand's reputation for fast, reliable boiling in outdoor conditions. The new dial is a great upgrade-intuitive and easy to use. The unit itself is impressively lightweight, making it an essential piece of gear for any hiker, camper, or backpacker. Performance-wise, it excels in cold weather and high winds, which is critical for backcountry adventures. Even in challenging conditions, it brought water to a boil quickly and efficiently, just as expected from Jetboil. That said, while this model performs well, the improvements don't seem significant enough to justify replacing an older version if you already own one. One area that still needs refinement is the bottom cup/cover. It feels somewhat flimsy and prone to cracking, especially when packing and unpacking the unit. A more durable material or reinforced design would be a welcome upgrade in future models. Overall, if you're new to Jetboil or looking for a dependable camp stove, this is a solid choice. Getting a Jetboil with a built-in igniter is a must-don't even consider models that don't have one. The convenience of a reliable built-in igniter, especially in cold or windy conditions, makes all the difference in the field.

Trusty Jetboil

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not a 5-star solely for the lack of heating actual food products. Otherwise, it boils water extremely quickly which helps extend the life of your fuel canisters. This is best used for preparing coffee, teas, or rehydrating dehydrated meal packs.

Really makes it simple to carry all the camp stove essentials - the canister and stove nest easily within the mug portion so you don't need to worry about missing anything or trying to tetris different parts together. It has some weight to it, but it really shines in its ability to be grabbed right off the shelf and tossed into the bag ready to go without having to worry about any fragile parts. The form factor also really is great for bikepacking - it fits easily into common fork cages! The lack of starter is fine, I typically carry a lighter or two anyway, and starters tend to be finicky at elevation. The lid is a bit of a letdown, the pouring spout doesn't really do much and water tends to dribble over the edge and spill out. I wish it was a touch lighter so that I could reach for this on some of the gnarlier hikes where every ounces counts, but for most people this is really going to be the sweet spot of durability versus weight. Especially for bikepacking - the shape fits perfectly onto my fork cage and with how stout this stove is I really don't have to worry about it taking some glancing hits from rocks while I ride.

Lightweight and simple

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Zip 0.8L is my new go to stove for most adventures! It is easy to use even without the directions since the labeling on the jetboil illustrates the proper usage. This is the first of the jetboil systems I have owned and I am very pleased with its functionality. I have been able to use it quite a bit this winter and it boiled water quickly even in negative Fahrenheit conditions and higher elevations (tested around 10000 ft). Changing the amount of heat is smooth with the dial and it is seamless to ignite. My favorite part is the lid that makes it effortless to pour hot water out and the additional holes if you need to control the water you drain out. The system is also very easy to clean and pack. I plan to use it not only for ski/snowshoe days but also on my next camping trip to Norway since it's so small and easy to pack. Jetboil gave me this free product to try.

Highly recommend!

The Perfect Stove for Bikepacking

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Jetboil gave me this free product to try. As a bikepacker who values lightweight, compact gear, the Jetboil Zip 0.8 has become my go-to stove for all my adventures. After using it on several long-distance bikepacking trips, I can confidently say that this stove is a game-changer. First off, the lightweight design is perfect for bikepacking. It's small and packs down easily, fitting into my gear without taking up much space. It is super light, it won't weigh you down, which is essential when you're trying to keep your gear minimal and efficient on the trail. The boil time is impressive for such a compact system. I can bring water to a boil in about 2 minutes, which is fast enough for a quick morning coffee or preparing a meal after a long day of riding. It saves me time and energy, so I can get back on the trail sooner. I also love how fuel-efficient the Zip is, especially since bikepacking often means you need to carry enough fuel for several days. The stove's FluxRing technology ensures an even boil while using less fuel, so I can stretch my fuel canister further-saving both weight and space in my panniers. One feature I particularly appreciate for bikepacking is the neoprene cover which helps to insulate the pot while also keeping you from burning your hands. It's built to handle the bumps and jostles of being packed alongside other gear in my bike bags. The stove fits nicely into the pot, with room for a fuel canister, matches and utensils. I also like that the plastic cup used to protect the Fluxring has volume measurements on it in case you need to measure out a small amount of water. The Jetboil Zip might not have all the bells and whistles of more advanced models, but it's incredibly effective for what I need on the trail. It's affordable, reliable, and just the right size for my bikepacking setup. If you're planning a bikepacking trip and want a stove that's efficient, easy to use, and doesn't weigh you down, I highly recommend the Jetboil Zip Cooking System. It's simple, durable, and perfect for fueling your outdoor adventures.
