The streamlined shape makes the XLite™ mattress ultra light and highly packable, while continuing to provide the comfort you need in the backcountry. Stuff sack and repair kit included. Lightweight: Advanced fabrics and a tapered design make this the lightest mattress in the NeoAir™ collection – almost 15% lighter than the original. Warm: Improved reflective barrier reflects body heat and creates dual air pockets that conserve warmth. Comfortable: Patent­pending Triangular Core Matrix™ construction provides unrivaled stability and support. Ultra­Packable: Low­bulk materials make the XLite mattress the most compact NeoAir mattress ever – as packable as a water bottle.

MSR Reactor Stove System We've combined state of the art cookware with revolutionary stove design to make the Reactor stove the fastest, most fuel efficient stove system ever. The Reactor stove's radiant burner is enclosed by a unique heat exchanger for unmatched performance in windy conditions while an advanced pressure regulator provides optimal heat output over the life of a fuel canister. Stove and fuel stow inside of the high­efficiency 1.7­liter pot that's great for everything from solo trips to cooking for groups of up to three people. A collapsible handle locks the unique see­thru lid in place for safe and easy transport. Unmatched Wind Protection: Radiant burner head is enclosed by heat exchanger for maximum protection in even the windiest conditions. Unrivaled Boil Time: Out­performs the competition in lab tests—boiling a liter of water in just 3 minutes—with a far greater advantage in windy conditions. Maximum Efficiency: Patent­pending radiant burner and heat exchanger make the Reactor the most efficient all­condition stove system, so you carry less fuel. Integrated System: State­of­the­art stove and high­efficiency pot are combined into one compact, easy­to­use system. www.ukclimbing.com/articles/page.php?id=4737
