Jetboil Connects With More Than 1,300 Customers

Manchester, NH (August 28, 2009) – What two words pop into your mind when you think Jetboil?Maybe it is Innovative and Reliable?For over 1300 respondents in a recent survey, those were exactly the two words that consumers found most fitting to describe the company who introduced the revolutionary PCS and flux-ring technology.

Jetboil conducted a survey with an even split of outdoor gear shoppers (non-Jetboil users) and Jetboil users.The 1,300+ consumers that participated in the survey created by Jetboil revealed that ease-of-use, safety, and lightweight/compact design rank as top attributes when choosing a mobile cooking system; exactly the features that best describe Jetboil’s new FLASH stove:

·Lightweight: the production version of the FLASH kit will weigh 15 oz, including a stabilizer tripod for enhanced safety and convenience.

·Safety: the color-changing temperature indicator on the cozy lets you know when the cup is hot.Tripod gives you more stability on uneven surfaces.

·Easy to use:all-in-one kit concept provides everything you need to cook in a lightweight package.Click-button igniter offers safe, reliable and easy ignition.

The survey’s findings support the company’s assumption about front country daytrippers and the rise of consumers entering the outdoors at a more amateur level.The OIA also announced that camping sales were one of the few on the rise at the retail level as reported in May (http://verdepr.com/s/40).

The Jetboil survey found that of outdoor gear shoppers (non-Jetboil users), 70-percent partake in day hikes, and over half, 55-percent, would consider bringing along a stove for hot food and drinks while on the trail, and a considerable 80-percent agree that having a hot drink or snack can give you a lift during a day outdoors.

Of the Jetboil users, 79-percent partake in day hikes, and 56-percent would definitely consider bringing a system on their day activities with a whopping 94-percent agreeing that having a hot drink or snack can give you a lift during a day outdoors.

So why Jetboil? Fast boil time, compact design and light weight were top three attributes driving decisions to buy a Jetboil, while design and value for the money are the top factors driving outdoor gear purchase decisions.

Jetboil, the brand that opened the backcountry to fast, convenient, and safe food preparation, is bringing a mobile cooking solution designed to enhance the outdoor experience for front-country daytrippers – the FLASH.
