Sea to Summit releases new Frontier Ultralight Collapsible 1L Cook Set
Whether you’re going ultralight on foot or squeezing gear into a bike bag for a fastpacking trip, space and weight are precious commodities. Add preparing meals to the list of ways you’re improving your essentials kit on the trail this season, because Sea to Summit’s new Frontier Ultralight Collapsible 1L Pot Cook Set proves that compact doesn’t mean compromised. This clever three-piece cook-eat-drink system is ideal for solo adventurers chasing efficiency and function without sacrificing quality — and it’s part of a broader range of modular cookware designed to scale up or down depending on the demands of your trip.
At the heart of this system is a 1L pot made from hard-anodised aluminium with food-grade non-PFAS silicone sidewalls, which collapse accordion-style down to just over 2.5cm (1″) high – ideal for tight pack pockets or bike bags. The collapsible design reduces bulk without losing cooking capacity, and the pot’s shape and size are dialled for efficient heat transfer and fast boil times. The base is durable and spreads heat evenly, making it perfect for boiling water or whipping up a quick trail meal at camp. Once you’re done, the same pot becomes your bowl, eliminating the need to carry separate cookware and making clean-up a breeze.
What makes this set especially smart is its nesting design. Inside the 1L pot you’ll find a collapsible cup and aluminium spork – both designed to fit snugly, with no rattles or wasted space. The lid includes a LidKeep feature so you can clip it to the side of the pot while stirring, and the Click-Safe handle locks into place with an audible ‘click’ to provide a secure grip when you’re handling hot contents. It all folds down to form a flat, easily stowed unit that feels more like a disc than a pot when packed away.
Awarded a Good Design Award Gold Accolade, the Frontier Ultralight Collapsible 1L Pot Cook Set has been recognised for its innovation, attention to detail and real-world practicality. The prestigious design award reinforces Sea to Summit’s commitment to producing kit that solves genuine outdoor problems with elegant, user-friendly solutions. From the heat-safe silicone sidewalls to the clever nesting configuration, everything about this set has been thoughtfully engineered.
Sea to Summit has built this system with modularity in mind. The 1L pot is part of the new Frontier Ultralight cookware range, which includes other pot sizes, matching pans and accessories designed for larger or longer adventures. Whether you’re flying solo or travelling in a group, the Frontier range allows you to build a setup that meets your needs without carrying excess weight or volume. For those who want to share cooking duties or carry extra capacity, the pots and pans in the series all nest together to create a complete yet minimal cooking system.
Perfect for solo hiking missions, overnight bikepacking or any time space is limited, the Frontier Ultralight Collapsible 1L Pot Cook Set is the sort of gear upgrade that quickly becomes a favourite. It’s compact, light, versatile and simple to use, clean and pack away.
After all, when your gear works this well and packs this small, there’s no excuse not to eat properly when you’re out on the trail.
