Scanning 'The Great Outdoors' (TGO) magazine in Borders today and there was a spread on a new Trangia called the UL (Ultra Light) series.
The pots, pans AND the windscreens are to be made from a different type of alloy (not titanium) which reduced a 27 set to 800 grammes-ish.
Overall a good review but I fear the weight would be better lost off your/my/our waists or one less Mars bar!
Burner remained the same.

I think its lightweight Aluminium?, if you look around and can get a Trangia clone made by Gelert, its the same thing, but half the price :)

My gelert, was I thought, a great saving on the T's* price. However in practice as always you pay for what you get. Flimsy material and manufacture.
I now use a genuine T* burner, clik stand, and billy which are lighter and less bulky for one person.


* insert your own spelling of Trangia as required.
