swiss Meta 50 cooksets

[Mike8472]

Are these any good?

I currently use an army trangia but find it too heavy to lug around on long camping trips when I'm trying to keep weight of my pack down.

would these be a better alternative? it looks just like a civilian trangia but a little more phunky!

I've seen some new on ebay from Germany at a reasonable price but wanted to get some feedback before I buy.

cheers

If you buy it and don't like it, I'll take it off your hands! Been after one of these for a while, but a bit pricey in the UK.

Taken the plunge so will see how I get on with it when it arrives.

I've got a meta 42, love it perfect for a brew while out and about. that 50 looks great.

 

[Mike8472]

did the 42 come with a burner?

I went for the 50 because it looks like it will be lighter and a little more compact than my swedish army trangia and if its swiss made then it will be extremely well made.

It has a small stand with it which fits one hexe block, it's as it is in the picture.realy light though, good build as well.
