I'm thinking of getting a Metal mug water bottle and cooker nesting set and I've had a look at afew reviews.
But I'd like to know if anyone has had experience with both of them ever, just so I have a better way to choose.
Cheers

I found the TBS offerings suited my purpose, to add it's cheaper than the Pathfinder and in being so, not so precious - also got the bottle hanger to go with the set, to hear reports suggesting to observe for myself, the Pathfinder method of hanging the mug is not so useful

Pathfinder I heard had admitted to also sourcing it's version from China

Both are good but I’d say the TBS has the edge. The fixed bail hangs better and the stamped measurements help when measuring fluids these features make it better than the Pathfinder.

I've been watching some youtube vid's and there are afew saying that the Double wall bottles are a better choice where I get the thinking of the insulating properties.
You can't buy them from there site so I think I'm going to just buy the set and the bottle Hanger.
 
I've been using the TBS set for several years and have no complaints. I can't comment on how it compares to the Pathfinder though.
