Go to http://www.prolitegear.com and check out the company Base Designs. It looks like the company could be making the pots for BPL. The 1000mL pot is in stock and may be similar to what is to come in the future at BPL.

Hmmm… looking at the photo, the lid of the Base Designs titanium 500ml pot seems pretty loose fitting as well!
BT,
I'll let you know … I just ordered one

Yep, I noticed that also.

Up front disclaimer: I do NOT know where these pots come from.
Got any idea of the size and cost of the press needed to make a titanium pot? I thought not.
There is no way this company would be MAKING these pots. They might buy them from the same manufacturer that makes them for BPL.
Note: I have machined and spot-welded Ti wire and sheet. Making a pot is a big deal! Be realistic!
I don't think the first post here meant that Base Design was "making" as in production of these items.
I think that they may be the company or maybe part of a group that contracted with the agent for some factory in Asia to make the stuff. There is a Bozeman connection.
I am just happy when someone has the courage to invest the money to bring a new light weight item to the market for us.
It certainly looks that way, but Im just glad these are catching on, and the price is coming down. I wish they designed them like Snowpeak products, with triple use lids. (lidding, cooking, serving); that is the strong advantage of the Trek900 and 1400.
Ok, I guess Base Designs does not MAKE the pots but gets the pots from the same distributor or pot maker
I just thought others might want to look at the 1000mL version of the pot which we may see soon from BPL or since it is sold out on BPL, a new place to get the smaller pots.
