Jetboil Zip Stove System Review

The Zip is the ultimate ultra-light minimalist stove system! Rely on the Jetboil Zip to provide hot food and drinks quickly and conveniently when you want them the most. Same as the flagship Jetboil Flash PCS design, but has an 0.8L cup instead of a 1L cup and no igniter designed to save weight and maximise compactability. It’s the most efficient, compact and, lightweight and powerful gas stove on the market, so you end up carrying fewer gas canisters!

Check out our ambassador Jacinta Pink’s review:

The Jetboil features a complete pot, stove and cup cooking system ideal for dehydrated meals, coffee or tea on the go, remote worksites, and emergency kits. Travel light and prep easy. Pack components, fuel and accessories into the Nalgene-sized cup for convenient transport. Like all of Jetboil's innovative systems, ZIP is an all-in-one design, combining burner and cooking vessel in one compact unit. Everything you need is stacked and stored inside the 0.8 litre cooking cup. The system lights up and within two minutes provides two cups of boiling water for cocoa, coffee, instant soup or a gourmet freeze-dried meal.

The cooking cup clips onto the burner, preventing accidental spills, and the fuel canister tripod ensures overall stability. The insulating cozy has a color-changing heat indicator that signals when contents are hot. It is super compact with the stove unit and gas cylinder fitting inside the cooking pot. The Unique FluxRing heat exchanger cooks faster and uses half the fuel.  Fueled by Butane Gas (canister not included) and will fit any brand screw type 100g or 227g canister (100g can pack modular inside).

Outside Magazine Gear of the Year

"Why It Rules The first effort from a scrappy New England startup, the Jetboil represents a total rethink of backcountry cookery. A tall pot with a hard anodized cooking surface and insulating neoprene cozy docks (and locks) to the stove's burner. A ring of heat-conducting baffles attached to the pot's base channels the flame precisely where it's needed. The result: a furious heat. Yank this combo out of your pack, flick the bomber piezo igniter, and a hypothermic comrade can have a cup of lip-scalding tea in one minute. The neoprene cozy, with handle, stays cool enough to hold in the hand: Bye-bye, additional cookware, pot holders, and needless extra weight"
