Summary:
well built piece of equipment. Stands up much better then MSR and Kovea. The best part is how small it folds up with how sturdy the arms are. I recommend using the windscreen with it even though it doesn't seem practical. The windscreen redirects the the heat back up instead of out.

Summary:
Great little stove! The Giga Power packs down small, it's very light, and suprisingly stable for it's size. My main complaint with the MSR pocket Rocket was the stability. The 4 steel wire base is textured to give your pot a good grip to the stove. Stove is easilt lite and adjusted. It can get a pot of water to a boil in about 4 minutes according to my non-scientific glancing at my watch while backpacking test. The best super light backpacking stove I've used so far. My only complaint is that to properly store the stove you have to open the valve slightly. You need to remember to close it before you screw your tank back on. Other then that this is a top notch product.
