After a raucous night partying with loud boys XGK and Dragonfly,
the purring Whisperlite is a blessed relief. Less single purpose than
the XGK, it's still a highly efficient, hot burning stove for general
backpacking and mountaineering use. It packs small and is easy to
service - includes the Shaker Jet system - though the first time you
strip down the burner mechanism, you'll wonder at all those burner
plates.
You'll save £40 over a Dragonfly and £20 over an XGK, so
unless you need the very specialised features of those stoves, it's a
sensible and highly effective choice that won't wake the neighbours
either.
Verdict: Well proven and splendidly efficient stove that
works for everything short of hard core expedition use. The
internationale unites the human race... [old joke]
I want to see MSR's
