High performance, all-weather camping stove
Ultralight screw-in burners or all-in-one integrated stoves are great for backpacking and wild camping – until it gets cold and windy. Then they soon start to sputter, wasting precious gas and taking an inordinately long time just to make a morning brew. But Optimus’s tried and tested Vega excels when the mercury plunges. If temps are hovering around zero, the hose-fed design means you can just invert your fuel canister and keep on cooking. The regulator even has an integrated stand, so there’s no need to prop up the canister. And if you’re out in serious sub-zero conditions, simply kick in the Vega’s ‘turbo boost’: a 4-season mode that reduces cooking time by 20%. This stove also has an extremely low centre of gravity for superior stability, ideal for cooking with larger pots and pans. Precise flame control ensures you get a slow simmer rather than just incinerating your supper. And lastly, the included windscreen deflects gusts that would blow out other stoves. Bottom line? For demanding outdoor adventures in unpredictable weather, there’s no better choice
