AntiGravityGear Pot Cozys have found their way into the packs of several staff members at Backpacking Light. Inserting a hot cookpot into an AntiGravityGear Pot Cozy keeps food warm longer and can extend cooking times without further fuel consumption. We know we like them, but the unanswered question is "how much difference do they really make?" To find out, I boiled 0.5 liter of water and measured temperature drop over time in a cookpot with and without an AntiGravityGear Pot Cozy. I repeated the tests in freezing and room temperature conditions, using my ideal hot tea temperature (132 ºF) for comparison. In this review, I answer the following key questions: To what extent did the AntiGravityGear Pot Cozy increase the amount of time water temperature remained above 132 ºF in sub-freezing (28 0F) ambient conditions? Is it worth the additional weight? That question too is answered, in the context of justifying its added weight in exchange for fuel savings and other benefits.
