Pinnacle series cookware uses Teflon with Radiance technology which has been tested and approved expressly for campware use. 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. It’s even safe for use with most metal utensils! A major leap forward in clean and green plastics, Infinity is an ultra-lightweight, completely recyclable, BPA-Free alternative to Polycarbonate resins. With exceptional clarity, jewel-like brilliance and 25% weight savings over Polycarbonate; its beauty is truly inspired. Furthermore, Infinity will not absorb food odors like other plastics and will not leach plasticizers or other chemicals into either food or beverage. It's even dishwasher safe and actually becomes more stain-resistant with every wash. Infinity: a final product which is far beyond the sum of its parts.
A compact cook system for backcountry travelers, the GSI Pinnacle Soloist utilizes innovative design to maximize performance and minimize weight.
GSI Pinnacle Soloist Cookset is an ingenious ultralight cooking and dining set for solo backpackers that packs up small, conserving valuable pack space
1.1L hard anodized aluminum pot triple-coated with Teflon Radiance nonstick treatment resists scratches and abrasion, and can even stand up to metal utensils
Radiance topcoat provides superior heat dispersion and virtually eliminates hot spots
Crushproof, BPA-free Infinity strainer and Sip-It lid resists deformation and becomes more stain-resistant with each wash
Insulated 14 oz. bowl with low center of gravity and Sip-It top prevents spillage and attracting unwanted attention from local wildlife

My boyfriend and I used this set for about 5 weeks on the A.T. this summer and had very few complaints. | |

No better cookset! | |

| I purchases the Soloist for a backpacking trip to Sequoia Nat Park in Sept 09 and it was one of the most useful pieces of equipment I brought. I considered purchasing the Dualist but I am trying to keep my pack light and since most of our food just required hot water I figured the Solist would do fine. I was right! I fed three guys all weekend with just this one cookset. One of the other guys brought the heavy GSI Bugaboo cookset and we barely used it. The Soloist is lightweight, well thought out, heats up quickly, cleans easy, and the fact that you can store a small burner and a cansister of fuel inside of it just puts it over the top. We were at 10,000 ft and I cooked every meal with a cheap isobutane screw on burner, a canister of fuel and the Soloist. Anyone who tells you that you need one of those crazy multi-fuel backpacking stoves with the separate bottle is nuts unless you plan to hike Everest. Keep it simple. Go with the Solist. | |

Love it! | |

Man I love this thing. Light, cheap, fits together like a dream, a lot of good usage. I dig how the carrying bag can double as a sort of wash bag or whatever. Super durable and just a top notch cooking set. Spork seems like it will break within the next few uses, but whatever, no biggie. Only complaint I have is my stove is supposed to fit inside, well it's not happening. I have the pocket rocket, and the set easily has enough room for a fuel canister and a shorter stove when put together, but the MSR pocket rocket is just to long to fit inside the bowl. I've tried multiple different ways to get that thing to fit inside, but it just won't happen. Certainly an annoying downside to the set considering I have a lot of room left for storage then the set is integrated, but I still have to find a case for my stove. Perfect set if pocket rockets could better fit inside, but close to perfect nonetheless. | |

Great Little Kit | |
| Rating: |  |
| This kit is great to take on a backpacking trip. The best part is, of course, the fact that everything you need packs up into the space of the pot. Unfortunately, this also proved to be my only problem with the set. My MSR Pocketrocket stove will not fit in here with the propane can, as it's ever so slightly too big to fit into the plastic bowl. To make up for it, other things can be added in its stead (snacks, more utensils.) The spork (they call it a foon) folds up nice and tiny, but it seems flimsy and easily breakable. Mine hasn't broken yet though, so I can't knock it for that. I also think that the price simply can't be beat, as you'll end up spending that much on each of the individual pieces you get here and they won't even go together as well. | |

true luxery for the light hiker | |
| Rating: | |
I purchased this set a year ago - and it's a great set. I cant testify to the quality of the foon however since my set was prefoon. anyway the construction is solid. the lexan lid is thoughtful - no wasting fuel since you dont need to lift the lid to see a boil. the cup is practical and the insulation is considerate. all encased in a a sack that doubles as a basin. A complete system - I gave mine away to my best friend after I decided to go with the the titan kettle - but honestly it was by no means an easy decision. My buddy loved the gift and he uses it till this day. Its really a great light cook system - so while i decided it's not for me there is no denying its charm | |

Very well designed set | |
| Rating: | |
| GSI sure did their homework when they designed this set, producing a very practical and lightweight solo kettle that is less than half the cost of comparable titanium kettles. Last year's version didn't include the spork but it has since been added to the set. The stove bag will hold the Snow Peak Gigapower Stove but it is too small to fit an MSR Pocket Rocket. Fuel stores in the bottom with the stove, spork, and cup in the top. Everything is firmly latched down by the strainer lid when the handle is folded closed. A real plus is the carry bag that doubles as a small sink, a feature that has been repeated with the GSI NForm gourmet series. If you are looking for a small solo kettle at a moderate price, this set is hard to beat. | |

Great set! | |
| Rating: | |
| I took this set out for the first time this weekend and it performed admirably. The pot boiled in no time and it was incredibly stable on my Primus TechnoTrail stove. I was really impressed with how well it stacked with my stove and a 4oz MSR Isopro tank. Takes up half the space that my old mess kit, stove, and tank did, and at a great price. And the bag really does work well as a sink. First time in a while I was amused while doing dishes. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the lid is really lightweight and you have to hold it down on the pot on a windy day. Other than that, this is the perfect set for a single camper. | |

Great set! | |

| I love my Soloist! Contrary to other reviewers, a PocketRocket DOES fit inside this set, along with a fuel canister. The trick is to put the stove under the canister, and then the cup goes over it, upside-down. I find the Foon to be pretty much useless; I use the GSI Rehydrate spoon instead (too long to fit in the pot, though). The mug is great at keeping drinks hot, and I love that the pot lid doubles as a sip lid. Even though I have a pretty minimalist cooking style and probably don't need this much cookset, I think the Soloist is great for the weight and the price, and I like knowing that I have the versatility to do some more complex cooking if I wanted to. | |

Great cookset! | |
| Rating: | |
| This is a great little cookset! I used mine in combination with a Snow Peak Giga Power stove and an MSR 113g fuel canister. I fit the Snow Peak Giga windscreen in the bottom of the Soloist bag as well. Great compact setup that all fit into the Soloist canister. One night we were completely rained in and stuck in our tents. I used the above combo to cook Ramen in my vestibule and it was great. The only complaint I have is that the included spork is kind of flimsy. Not a big deal though since I have my own spork I use anyway. | |

Perfect! | |

I used this set for a few days on a backpacking trip in the Uintas and it was great. My stove and fuel (jetboil canister) can fit into it, so it packs down really small and saves space in my pack. The flip up/lock handle is a great feature, super easy to use, and worked great. Also, the little stuff sack that doubles as a basin to wash your stuff in was quite useful too. The included spork isn't the sturdiest, but I would get one of those 3 in 1 knife/fork/spoon combos anyway. | |
