Detour Stainless Steel Collapsible Kettle - 1.6L

The Sea to Summit Detour Stainless Steel Collapsible Kettle is a 1.6 L camp kettle with a stainless steel base and lid and silicone sidewalls that collapse down when it is time to pack. It weighs 435.9 g and measures 17 x 17 x 15.1 cm when open.

Who it's for

Couples and small groups who want a proper brew at camp: a pot of tea at the end of a day on the Great North Walk, or plain-water refills for a plunger coffee on a cold morning in the Victorian high country. It suits a basecamp kitchen or a two-burner camp stove, and it collapses down to slide into a crate or the bottom of a pack.

Capacity and what it cooks

At 1.6 L the Detour kettle boils enough water for several mugs in one go, so two or more people get their drink at the same time. It also doubles as a handy little cookpot for noodles, porridge or a quick soup when the main pot is busy.

Materials and heat

• Stainless steel base and lid (304 grade) for durability and efficient heat distribution
• Food-grade silicone sidewalls, BPA-free and certified to EU food-grade standards
• Twin glass-reinforced nylon 66 handles for a more precise pour
• Non-PFAS materials throughout

On a two-burner camp stove, keep the flame inside the ring printed on the base and stand both handles upright while it heats.

Packing and nesting

Push the silicone walls down and the Detour kettle collapses for storage, with the handles folded around the lid. The lid has an easy-to-hold grip and a silicone LidKeep, so you can clip it to the rim of the kettle and keep it clean while you cook.

Cleaning

The Detour kettle is dishwasher safe, so it goes straight in with the rest of the dishes when you get home. At camp, rinse it with hot water and a soft sponge.
