Flex 3 Cook System MSR Cheap

MSR says

Group cooking and non-stop road-warrior use calls for bigger pots with added versatility, and that’s what you get with the Flex™ 3 Cook Set. High-capacity, hard-anodized aluminum pots with both coated and nonstick surfaces open up your options for cooking while mugs and plates for three add comprehensive cook and eat utility. It’s perfect for cooking larger or more-involved meals on group adventures—whether you’re heading into the backcountry or road tripping through the Tetons.

Our Verdict

The Flex series are for basecamp use but to get them to basecamp they still need to be hauled – thats why MSR have turned their attention to lightening up large group cooking systems. The Flex systems include pots deep plates and insulated mugs while the Flex potsets include the pots only.  

All the items in the range come up to MSR’s exacting standards for quality and useability.
