Complete Weight Breakdown of the MSR Flex 3 Cookset


I am looking into adding to my cooking abilities depending on the scenario.  I will be breaking the cooksets down and measuring.  The weight breakdowns will be listed below.



Versatile, high capacity cook and eat system for three.

Group cooking and non-stop road-warrior use calls for bigger pots with added versatility, and that’s what you get with the Flex™ 3 Cook Set. High-capacity, hard-anodized aluminum pots with both coated and nonstick surfaces open up your options for cooking while mugs and plates for three add comprehensive cook and eat utility. It’s perfect for cooking larger or more-involved meals on group adventures—whether you’re heading into the backcountry or road tripping through the Tetons.
