Mike's Product Review:


dr. Si 1200ml Collapsible Kettle

February 20, 2020


I've been a big big fan of the Sea to Summit collapsible cookware for quite awhile now. It's well made, very compact, lightweight and easy to clean. Although these pots are not cheap I believe they are great value.

 

 

One day in the fall 2019 as French and I were perusing Amazon we came across the dr. Si Collapsible Kettle. It's similar in style &  function to my Sea to Summit X-pots but it has a stainless steel base instead of aluminum. At the time prices varied (as they often do on Amazon) averaging about $100 for this kettle. However we found a seller with the Green version (multiple other colors are available) listed for just $29!

 

 

We ordered three, one for French, Stroh and I (which also qualified us for free shipping) and were pleasantly surprised to see that they were not manufacturer seconds or some other scam when they arrived! It was probably a colour that didn't sell very well.

 

 

The kettle holds 1.2L of water (same as my Kelly Kettle Scout) which is easily enough for three cups of a hot beverage of choice.

 

 

Like the X-pots you can not use this kettle on an open camp fire, they are designed for and work extremely well on gas stoves such as a propane Coleman Stove or our Primus/GSI/MSR ISO Butane stoves.

 

 

 

Another 5-star product. It works well and goes nicely with my Sea to Summit pots. These items are lightweight, compact, and easy to use.

 

Cheers, Mike
