Highlander Aluminium Mess Tins

The Highlander Aluminium Mess Tins are a lightweight two-piece cook set built around the traditional military mess tin design. The smaller tin nests inside the larger one to save pack space, and folding wire handles keep the set compact in a rucksack or bergen while allowing safer handling when cooking.

Suitable for use over gas stoves or open flame, the smooth aluminium construction heats quickly, cools fast after use and is easy to clean in field conditions, making it a dependable choice for heating rations, boiling water or preparing simple camp meals.
