The new Optimus Vega is a high performing lightweight remote canister stove with integrated 4 season mode. It offers two ways of cooking in one stove. When cooking in cold temperatures or when extra fast boil times are needed, just open the gas canister support legs and turn your gas canister upside down and continue cooking in the 4 Season Mode. For excellent efficiency and precision cooking on a low flame use the Efficiency Mode. The Optimus Vega has the lowest profile in its category. This means superiour stability, especially for larger pots.

I get this instead of Trangia as a lighter option. In a family with children, a tubular burner is easier than coming on top of a gas cylinder. One excursion made and affects the jurisdiction. The size of the kettle was greatly reduced, although the same Trangia boilers were still in use.
