Jetboil Alpinist 2 Cook System

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

The Alpinist 2 System is a compact and durable, single pot 2 person cook set, ideal for making basic meals in remote places. 

MSR says

The Alpinist 2 Cook System offers the superior strength and light weight of hard anodized aluminum with the added capacity you need for melting snow and boiling water fast. A full-featured cook and eat system for two, it comes complete with our Double-Wall Insulated Mugs and DeepDish™ plates, making it ideal for alpine ascents or long-distance journeys.

Our Verdict

Every item in this set is practical – the two mugs are insulated plastic mug with a sip-lid to keep drinks warm for longer and each one is 0.4Litres so they aren`t small either. Both nest together to fit inside the bowls which in turn fit inside the panset.  

The bowls are deep so they are very versatile – use for soup pasta meat and spuds or your dessert.

If you are comparing with other pansets remember to factor in the fact that with this set you get two large insulated mugs and two large bowls as well as the pot itself.
