Very compact. I take it on every trip to the forest. Mostly used on a solid fuel stove. A large jar of food fits in completely. No signs of corrosion, handles are still stable. The lid mostly serves as a plate. The biggest advantage – very easy to clean. After three years of use, there are no deformations visible. I recommend it.

A solid stainless steel mess kit, of course essential for camping, works well both at the campfire and on a gas camping stove, excellent quality workmanship. The set includes two pots, a lid that can be used as a frying pan, which unfortunately could use an additional handle, and all of this comes in a pretty nice nylon bag. Definitely a product worth recommending from a good manufacturer.

This is my first experience with such cookware, but I'm very satisfied! I waited over a year to finally have the opportunity to test it and I'm very satisfied, the price is also great, I recommend it!
-
Great set. In general, like everything from Helikon. As usual, top quality. Very well chosen capacity. Works perfectly. Solid and durable equipment. Highly recommend.
-
The pot is solid and quite large. The biggest downside is its weight – it won't work if you care about having a light backpack while traveling. However, once you've set up camp, it works great and is extremely durable, even when used directly on a fire.
-
The mess tin is very solid, purchased with a multitool and cup, of course, from Helikon. You can see it's a quality product. I am very satisfied. I recommend the product.
-
Nice 3-piece set. Already tested several times. The only downside is that when nested, the smaller pot rattles a bit inside the bigger one. This is my first set from Helikon and I'm positively surprised.
-
Material-wise it's really very good and that's a plus. On the downside, there is no lid/pan handle—neither function is usable without some handle, also the pot handles are a bit strange and seem unstable.
-
Product is of good quality, though heavy. The folding option is nice. The metal seems solid and the set should last long. I am concerned about the handle; it seems a bit unstable.
-
Stainless steel 3-piece mess kit. Haven't tested yet, but a friend recommended it so I decided to buy as well. Fairly heavy but that's steel. Everything points to it surviving more than a few seasons. I once used a lighter aluminum version. Lower weight and durable material. This one looks very solid.
-
Fantastic set for camping, survival, etc. You can easily cook and fry on this equipment; it's hard to burn, easy to wash. Overall, I recommend it to everyone.
-
Price = quality. Very solid, spacious, and relatively light. I recommend using it with a gas stove, as it burns quickly over a fire which becomes visible after the first use. Still, 5 stars from me because the product met my expectations.
-
Solid pots made from thicker metal perform well for everyday use on gas stoves. Handles are solid and made from thick wire. Definitely a product worth recommending, will last a long time.
-
I haven't used it yet but it looks solid. The metal is thick so cooking should be comfortable. I was looking for stainless steel and it seems to me that at this price it's hard to find a competitive product to Helikon.
-
Nice set. A bit heavy, though I naturally knew what to expect. For me, it's more for car travel, etc. For carrying on my back, I would pick something lighter. It does make a solid impression though.
