Silicone stretch lid

Interesting.  There are literally dozens of options on Amazon…which one did you get?

They do work well.  No idea what brand I have. 3.5 inch fits a tokes 750.

We have a bunch of them, but I never thought of taking them hiking. The Toaks lid is a bit heavier, but probably easier to lift off a heated pot. And least if you remember to lift up the little triangle flap before you heat the pot.

Did you store in your pack while hiking?

I got these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07W3KHFM9 I stored my pot whether cold soaking or not in an outer pocket on my pack. I find my pot sort of bulky so I got a Zpacks pocket for storing my cooking stuff.

I’ll add that the stretch lids I bought were $7, the Toaks pot was about $25 and a Vargo bot is like $100.

I found one that fit my S2S collapsible silicone cup nicely. I sort of dislike the cup because the base is so narrow/unstable and the rim is so wide as to encourage sloshing if I walk around camp with it. This fixed my main gripes. I used a punch to make a small vent hole and a slightly larger drinking port. The liquid creeps over the cup lip but does not go past the lower ribs in the silicone so no drips so far. I drank my morning coffee at home from it today and was able to walk around the house carrying it absentmindedly with no fear of sloshing spills. Nice. I did trim a lot of the grab-lobes off the edge of the lid since they weren’t doing anything and it looked like I was drinking out of an anemone.

Thanks for making this thread, I wasn’t aware of these lids.

I wasn’t, either. Love it!

I saw this thread the other day, and thought it was brilliant. Well, I still do – with the caveat that you need lids that fit really well.

I bought a pack of lids, and for both my 1.3L and my .6L Evernew pots, the lids that fit as a transportation closure are too small to use for cooking (they fall in the pot), and the lids that fit as cooking lids are too big for transportation (they just rest loosely on top).

Oh well, was worth a shot. Maybe I’ll do some actual measurements next time.

Love silicon lids, been using one I bought off Amazon for 6 or 7 yrs now. Bought the set for about $7, took the one that fit my Toaks 650, and my wife took the rest for use in the kitchen.
