The Salt Lake Tribune attended the industry-only Outdoor Retailer Winter Market at the Salt Palace Convention Center in January and came up with a list of gear that caught our attention. A collection of the gear ran in a story, but we are posting the items individually on the blog as well. XPot from Sea to Summit Lightweight and compact cooking ware is obviously important when it comes to backpacking, but is not a bad idea for car campers with limited space either. Sea to Summit's XPot and XPot Kettle are made of silicone with an aluminum base bottom. The XPot is firm when it needs to be on the stove and the table, but easily collapses for storage during the hike our and drive home. XPot comes in three sizes 1.4 liter ($49.95), 2.8 liter ($59.95) and 4.0 liter ($79.95). The XPot Kettle is a 1.3 liter pot ($44.95). A variety of XSet kits are also available.
