Customer Review
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 May 2021I've returned the first one of these jugs that arrived today as it didn't have the capacities marked on the side as per their illustrations. It's very annoying as all the dehydrated meals specify an exact amount of water to be added to their pouches, too much water and it's sloppy, to little and it's powdery. I've re-ordered another. Lets hope the new on I've ordered arrives with the markings on the side.
My recently acquired MSR pocket rocket burner on which I'll be doing my cooking has a recommended maximum height of 12.7cm for cooking utensils, the Boundless Voyage has a 13cm height, 0.3cm above the recommended max but I can live with that.
The Stanley version has an advertised height of 29.5cm, more than double the maximum recommended height for my burner. Have they got this measurement correct? I can't risk an unstable pot on my burner.
The Boundless Voyage is titanium and therefore lighter than the Stanley which is stainless steel. I'll be carrying this kit 268 miles on the Pennine Way alone, those extra grams all add up.
This jug has straight sides all the way up and appears to have bigger capacity(900mils) than the Stanley's 710 mils. These are filled to brim measurements. On both items there are marked capacities on the sides. the largest capacity in on the Boundless Voyage at 0.65l compared to 0.591l on the Stanley.
Then there's the price to consider. On YouTube videos the American's are saying what great value the Stanley is it is at only so many bucks which equates to a lot, lot less than the UK consumer is being asked to pay. For the small additional cost the Boundless Voyage is the better option.
You could argue that the Stanley includes a couple of cups, I'd argue that they wouldn't be my choice of cups and I've already got a better one.
