Gear Review #2: Snow Peak Trek 700 Titanium Pot

Purchased for $45 Canadian off of the Snow Peak Website

The Snow Peak Trek 700 is a lightweight, 700ml titanium backpacking pot. It weighs in at about 4.8 ounces, which includes the mesh bag that comes with it. On the inside of the pot there are measurement markings for ounces and milliliters.

When I cut open the box and lifted it up for the first time I was instantly surprised at just how light it is. I’m used to my GSI Pinnacle Dualist that carries 1.8L of water and weighs about 8 ounces; a little overkill for a single person. The lid has two small hooks that go over the edge of the pot to keep it on. Those hooks, used with the tab on the opposite side of the lid, make it easy to pour out any water inside the pot without losing any of the contents; perfect for pasta on the trail! My only real issue lies with the handles. They fold around the pot for compactness, which is always good, but they’re really short. If you’re cooking on a fire I highly recommend using a bandana or camp towel when touching them. That being said, they does cool off rather quickly.

I’m also a fan of the mesh bag. I like to cook on the fire and when my pot gets dirty I know I can put it in the bag to prevent my pack from getting dirty on the inside. Also, the ability to put my stove, 110g fuel canister, and my Snow Peak Titanium Spork in to the pot means that my entire cook set is in the mesh bag making it a great way to stay organized.


I love this thing. It’s light, it’s simple. If you’re interested in a pot with greater capacity Snow Peak also sells the Trek 900 and the Trek 1400 both of which are titanium and very lightweight.
