3. Optimus Vega
The Vega by Optimus is a gas stove that can be easily used in all four seasons and is also compact and handy. While it may not be the lightest stove on the market, that is not a necessity. Like all equipment designed for temperatures below freezing, it features some essential details to ensure it operates effectively in winter. The Vega has a hose connection and stands very stable on its three legs, even when using larger pots. The hose also allows for operation with an inverted cartridge. For this purpose, small support feet are integrated at the end of the hose next to the wire handle for regulating fuel supply. When operating with an inverted cartridge, the fuel passes through the hose in liquid form and is then converted into gas in the generator loop. This technology ensures that the Vega stove operates steadily and reliably even with a nearly empty cartridge or in sub-zero temperatures. There’s nothing better than enjoying warm food and tea at the end of a long day. For those with a technical interest, the Vega gas stove offers several features that one would expect from Optimus. Its sleek, minimalist, and functional design, thoughtful details, durable materials, and relatively compact size also appeal to lightweight trekking enthusiasts. Power enthusiasts will appreciate its output of 2,600 watts. The Optimus Vega package includes a transport bag and a base plate that protects the ground, ensures stable footing, and increases performance through heat reflection.
