TrailBreak Vacuum Mug - Drinking smarter
Season 2015 - Press Release
When developping the TrailBreak Vacuum Mug, Primus had one simple target: To make the best mug out there. Really robust, safe to grab, absolutely leak-proof, easy to fill and to clean, and, last but not least, you should be able to drink directly from it without burning your mouth. Mission accomplished with the 0.35 litre double-walled stainless steel TrailBreak Vacuum Mug.
Primus StovePaw Ti and Silencer
Season 2015 - Press Release
Primus present two small but nice and really useful accessories for stoves: the baseplate StovePaw Ti and the Silencer, a kind of sound absorber for the OmniLite Ti stove.
The StovePaw Ti is a highly convenient baseplate that supports stoves when cooking in snow or on other soft, slippery surfaces. It folds super-compact and weighs in at 55 grams only, as it is made from lightweight and corrosion-free Titanium. It fits perfectly with Primus' OmniFuel, MultiFuel, OmniLite Ti, EasyFuel and Express Spider stoves. The StovePaw Ti makes cooking safer and easier.
The Silencer is a small, pretty inconspicuous looking "thing" that reduces the combustion noise of the award-winning OmniLite Ti stove considerably – perceived loudness by factor 4. It can be mounted quickly and doesn't reduce power or fuel efficiency. With the Silencer you can listen to the undisturbed sounds of the wilderness even while cooking. And when getting up early on a crowded campsite, you will no longer be exposed to the bad temper of the neighbours when making your wake-up coffee.

TrailBreak EX - When the going gets cold
Season 2015 - Press Release
At Primus the letters "EX" stand for expedition suitability. And that is exactly where the new TrailBreak EX Vacuum Bottles feel at home. Apart from keeping drinks hot – or cold if needed – they are really rugged, easy to handle (also with gloves at very low temperatures), you can clean them easily and – best of all – drink directly from the bottle and. In addition, they simply look good while being available in four colours and in two sizes.
TrailBreak - Making the difference
Season 2015 - Press Release
Finally: The first vacuum bottle that makes it possible to drink directly from the bottle! Primus achieves this with the unique "ClickClose" stopper that doubles as a smart drinking stopper. But there are more great features. The slightly tapered shape make them easier to push down into the backpack and safer to grip – also when using gloves in cold conditions. The cup too is made from double-walled stainless steel to keep the beverage hot or cold and also serves as extra protection of the stopper. With the TrailBreak Vacuum Bottles, Primus shows how a seemingly ordinary product can still be improved substantially!
Primus fuel-efficient stove sets: Express, Spider, Power
Season 2015 - Press Release
Primus pioneered in developing fuel-efficient stove sets with their innovative Eta-technology. High fuel-efficiency means lower fuel consumption for a given amount of hot water. The Swedish stove specialist achieves this by integrating burner, pot with heat exchanger at the bottom and the windshield into one system. The Express Stove Set is a small, and lightweight screw-on-top system for 1-2 persons. The Spider Stove System has the same 1.0 litre PrimeTech pot but it's hose-mounted and stands more stable. The Power Stove Set is similar but larger. With a 1.8 litre pot it feeds 2-4 persons.
Summer Gas - The green gas saver
Season 2015 - Press Release
With Summer Gas Primus introduces a new LPG gas cartridge with an optimized gas blend for warmer temperatures. Why this? Gas blends in conventional gas canisters can overpower the stove. This means they may reduce efficiency and you burn more fuel than necessary. Since Primus offers three different kinds of gas for different temperature ranges, Summer Gas is the option for temperatures of +15 to +40° Celsius. Actually it is triple-green: It ensures high efficiency, the gas itself and the metal canister are fully CO2 compensated (just like all Primus cartridges), and the canisters come in green colour.
Lite - A Family Affair
Season 2015 - Press Release
Modern all-in-one-stoves connect the gas cartridge, the burner and the pot to one unit, making them safer to use and offering a much higher fuel efficiency. Primus' new Lite+ is such a stove, fully featured and designed for one person. It is an updated version of the successful Eta Lite and comes with a new heat resistant sleeve in durable G-1000 fabric with felt lining. It features a webbing handle that allows using the stove whilst suspended. The new Primus Lite represents a specked-down entry-level brother of the Lite+. It is slightly simpler but it costs and weighs less, while still offering the same performance and outstanding fuel-efficiency. It reaches about 80 % against 40- 50 % of conventional stoves. So you need to buy, carry and burn less gas.
