The Jetboil Flash is a must if you are looking to buy a new backpacking stove. We found the Jetboil Flash to be compact, safe, and extremely functional. The unit is very easy to use from the novices that are just getting into backpacking to the experienced outdoors person. One of the new features on the Flash is the colored heat indicator that tells you when your water is hot or boiling, allowing for you to conserve fuel and eat drink and be merry just a little bit faster. It comes with a sippy cup lid and a cup that doubles as a heating ring protector, and a cup that you can use for measuring and eating out of. All the contents fit into the Jetboil Flash, including the heating element, small fuel canister, and stabilizer, allowing for space saving when backpacking. Attached to the neoprene koozie is a handle and a pocket to help store your cooking utensils, which is a nice addition. Overall, we enjoyed testing the Jetboil Flash and highly recommend it for all the outdoor enthusiast.
