If you're wanting a lid for your 450ml mug, sneak into the kitchen and steal the lid off the gravy granules (you might be safer waiting until they're all used first). It's a good fit (not too snug or too lose) and weighs about 7g

But you can only use it until just after Christmas.

Beef or chicken?

I don't think it matters really. The lid in the pic is chicken if that helps

How does it cope with heat?

Seems okay. It goes slightly bendy with the steam but still retains it's shape. Obviously I wouldn't want to put it near a flame

Would it fit a jetboil zip????
Ive got one on the way (Trail subscription) and i was just wondering :D
Obviously it wouldnt fit my trangia mini

Would it fit a jetboil zip????

I imagine it'd be much too small. Doesn't the JetBoil come with a lid, I thought it did ?

Yeh, i was just wondering if this could be a lighter alternative
Im gonna win the WRT weigh in ;D

I've got to admire your optimism ... but you do know it's not you we'll be weighing ?

Oh yes! But after weighing my rather heavy weight kit for this weekends cold bike packing trip to the dales (2 nights) it came in (bike included) to a mere 32lb, 1 lb less than last years winner I believe ;-)


Edit: excuse the minor thread hijack, I think the tip in question is very clever

Ben, I'd be interested to know what your kit list is?

You can't win the weigh in with a jetboil.

Stuart won't let you for a start :D

I think you'll find, I'll be in charge of the weigh in.

Bribes gratefully accepted.

Im gonna guess a fat bike with big helium filled tyres
Would probably float over water too

I will do a kit list after the event, but for now I suspect the main factor is my bike weighs so little compared to most MTB's :-D
