Gear Reviews: Edelrid Hexon Multifuel Stove

Edelrid Hexon Multifuel Stove 9/10
I saw these guys at a Trade convention a while ago and thought their stuff looked awesome, turns out it is awesome, especially for the ultralights amongst us.  These stove is one of the lightest multifuels on the market at 220g (+ fuel bottle weight 220g + tradapter 14g) totals at 454g, which therefore isn't the lightest on the market.  Their real competition in this category is the MSR Dragonfly Multifuel which weighs in at 396g.  So comparitively the Hexon is slightly heavier, just.  It compacts minutely smaller though, if you're looking for the mm! Their both sturdy on rocky terrain though the Dragonfly's double frame stand seems to keep your pan a tad more stable.  The differences are minimal though and for the price the Hexon stands clear: Hexon £100, Dragonfly £140, beat that MSR, oh wait they have...with the 'remarkably similar to the Hexon' Whisperlite Internationale Multifuel (total weight with fuel bottle 464g) cost, well would you look at that £100... again, I'd say that the Whisperlite is a little more sturdy, but the difference is 'whisper-light'...all in all the Hexon is an excellent stove, and for compactness alone is a great investment.
SPEC:
A new generation ultra light multi-fuel stove. At only 220 grams, the Hexon is one of the lightest stoves in its class. This stove is distinguished by its compactness and versatility (it works with gas, gasoline and kerosene). Further advantages are the foldable feet and pot stand which gives the Hexon a stable base on the ground and for the pot as well. With its rugged design allowing for easy use and servicing, a long life is guaranteed. Due to its high quality aluminum alloy construction, the fuel pump is useable at all temperatures. With the EDELRID Tradapter (not included), the Hexon is suitable for all storm cooking. The Hexon comes with fuel bottle, pump, tool set and transport bag.
