Cook up a feast for one on your next backpacking trip with the Pinnacle Soloist 10.8-ounce cooking system. Unique and compact, the Pinnacle Soloist starts with a 1.1-liter cooking pot made using Teflon with Radiance technology, which has been tested and approved expressly for campware use.

The Lexan lid serves as an integrated strainer when draining water.

The secret lies in a specially formulated topcoat engineered to enhance heat dispersion and virtually eliminate hot spots. Moreover, the three-layer coating was built to survive the toughest conditions, and boasts an unprecedented level of scratch- and abrasion-resistance. The technology heats up 25 percent faster than traditional nonstick cookware while withstanding absurd levels of abuse. The 1.1-liter pot comes with a convenient folding handle that locks into place for cooking.

The 14-ounce mug/bowl steps up when it's time to eat, with an integrated insulating sleeve that keeps your food and drinks hot. The mug/bowl is ideal for soup, pasta, stew, coffee, and hot chocolate, among other items. And both the pot and mug/bowl are built to take advantage of the Lexan pot lid, which doubles as a Sip-It lid to virtually eliminate spills when you're drinking from the mug. The lid even serves as an integrated strainer when you're draining water.

The Pinnacle Soloist's best trait, however, may be its stackable design. All the pieces fit inside the cooking pot and store in an ingenious welded stuff sack (the handle secures the set tightly). Not only does the sack make storage and transport easy, but it also functions as a sink or washbasin in camp, so you can clean your cookware in minutes.

About GSI Outdoors
GSI opened its doors in 1985, after a small group of British Columbian siblings made their way down the West Coast to San Diego. Beginning with a few pieces of blue enamelware and a smattering of campfire accessories, GSI Outdoors grew through the years to include full design, manufacturing, sales, and marketing departments, all tasked with developing and marketing an ever-more-innovative line of outdoor cookware, tableware, and accessories. Siblings Don, Ian, and Kathy Scott eventually relocated to Spokane, Washington, where they continue to define innovation through the creation of unique, imaginative, and fun products that reassert their enthusiasm for the outdoors. GSI Outdoors is still a small, privately held company, with no obligation to shareholders, a corporate board, or anyone else aside from its customers and employees. The Soloist is a 9.5oz cooking system. Unique and compact it includes a 1.1L cooking pot made of Halulite, a Lexan pot lid that doubles as a sip-it lid, and a unique 14oz insulated cup/bowl, that all fits together with a stove bag for storing your stove and other small accessories.
