![]() The Lite+ is available in 5 retro-ish colors. I didn’t have any issues with the pot being too hot while holding onto the sleeve that I’ve had with the cheaper foam/felt sleeves on the market. It makes the stove look nice and sleek, and the sleeve really feels nice in your hand. Primus gave the Lite+ an upgraded insulated sleeve made from Fjallraven G-1000 fabric. All of its pieces (igniter, fuel, fuel stabilizer, hanging attachment, and the pot lid that doubles as a cup) fit right into the 500ml hard anodized aluminum pot. I boiled cold water indoors, boiled cold water outdoors, and melted snow to a full boil several times outdoors.Īt a glance, the Primus Lite+ looks remarkably similar to other “all-in-one” backpacking stoves on the market. The elevation was between 4,000ft and 6,000ft. I balanced out my testing by running some tests indoors to simulate warmer conditions. Temperatures for testing were between -15f and -29f. I tested the Primus Lite+ in cold conditions both with and without gusty wind. With the temperature as cold as it was, I figured I’d bring the stove along to make some hot tea while I was out. I figured if the Lite+ could perform well under these conditions I could probably trust it through just about anything. I sent off on a short xc-ski tour in the West Bragg Creek area between Banff National Park and Calgary. I packed my skis, removed my newly purchased oil pan heater from the van, and headed west towards the mountains. Eventually, I decided that I had had enough. When I did go outside I found myself shuffling from one heated building to another. Wind chills were dipping below -40 Fahrenheit and my thermometer never showed warmer than -15f the entire time I was there. An Arctic vortex blew down from the north and parked itself over the entire region for what felt like an eternity. While traveling through Alberta, over the span of about ten days, I found myself in three of the coldest cities on earth. GET YOUR PRIMUS LITE+ HERE!ĭue to my hectic travel schedule, I was able to test the Lite+ to in conditions that I can only refer to as interesting. I was excited to test the Lite+ mainly for Primus’s devotion to fuel efficiency and making innovative products that last. When I tested the Primus Lite+ I found a familiar design with improved features and functionality. ![]()
