Has anyone seen the new MSR Switch yet?
This video is from 6 months ago, but I don't think I've seen a post about it on here.
Product page here: https://cascadedesigns.com/products/switch-stove-system
And to be fair, I just saw it on a post by Jon Fong / Flat Cat Gear on Backpacking Light: https://backpackinglight.com/forums...msr-switch-and-new-hx-mug-from-fire-maple-g2/
MSR dropped their overview video just two weeks ago:
I only found one YouTube user video:
(This was from a very quick search; even so, it looks like they didn't take Jetboils "bomb the influencers" approach of the Stash from a couple of years ago, which seemed to backfire ...)
At a very brief glance, the hemispherical pot bottom seems promising. But the pot alone is far heavier than most HX posts, as is the burner. It doesn't look as windproof as the Reactor, but would be much heavier than the current experiments with so-called "Superstoves" - HX pots and lightweight wind-resistant burners such as the MSR Pocket Rocket Deluxe or the Soto Windmaster.
(Some of that discussion in this thread: https://rokslide.com/forums/threads/ul-fuel-efficient-cook-system.211835/page-15#post-3997634, which contains current tests, data, and more.)
Thoughts? Real-world experiences?
