Sea to Summit’s Detour Camp Kitchen Range Takes ISPO Award 2024

This is just the right collection for everyone looking for camp kitchen practicality: from collapsible stainless-steel pots and a pan to stainless-steel utensils, Sea to Summit’s Detour Camp Kitchen Range provides high-quality food prep, cooking and serving solutions for the vehicle-based camper or boat user, while providing compactness and storage functionality. At their jury meeting in the spring of 2024, the jury of the ISPO Awards decided to honour this state-of-the-art product range with the coveted prize.

Sea to Summit’s Detour Camp Kitchen Range is designed specifically for vehicle-based adventurers who want the quality of premium domestic cookware and tableware in the great outdoors. The cookware in this range can be used on all types of stoves, including induction hotplates. The larger Detour Pots and the Pan also feature a 3-layer base with aluminium sandwiched between the inner and outer stainless-steel surfaces for more even heat distribution. Tableware is also made of stainless steel, including collapsible bowls and cups.

Founded in 1990 and based in Perth, Western Australia, Sea to Summit is an award-winning manufacturer of ingeniously designed, omni-terrain outdoor gear. Their product line ranges from ultralight cookware to the most versatile tent on the market. The brand is no stranger to some of the most remote places on the planet, and its products are field-tested in the world’s most demanding environments.

Sea to Summit’s Detour range maximises space efficiency with its collapsible and nestable design. Cookware and dinnerware shrink down to a fraction of their in-use size, and silicone rubber inserts in the base of the plates and bowls mean rattle-free storage, too. Every item within the Detour Kitchen Collection features consistent product dimensions, proportions, materials, finishes and profiles, allowing users to mix and match products within the range. All pots utilise removable Click-Safe pot handles made of stainless steel for safe handling. They can be stowed away for transportation and lock securely into place when in use.

Clever design points make life easier for the backcountry chef. The integrated patent-pending LidKeep ensures a practical cooking experience, allowing the user to temporarily attach the lid to the side of the Pot and Kettle while stirring or seasoning. “It’s like having a third hand,” explains Brendan Harris, General Manager Export at Sea to Summit. “It also answers the question of where to put a hot, clean pot lid while you’re cooking!”

Constructed of 304 stainless steel and EU and Japanese food-grade standard BPA-free silicone, the line is produced free from PFAS and PFOA. It offers both durability and practicality, making it ideal for rugged outdoor use. Colour options like Laurel Wreath and Moonstruck not only keep the design on-trend but also help users easily identify their gear. Thoughtful engineering extends to ergonomics, with dual glass-reinforced nylon handles on the Kettle for better control when pouring, and utensils designed to stack together and be secured by a silicone rubber keeper during transport.

The Detour Kitchen Collection is designed for both seasoned and novice vehicle-based campers, overlanders and sailors who prioritise space-efficient, convenient outdoor kitchenware. Combining functionality and a sleek, modern aesthetic, it is a 2023 Australian Good Design Award Winner, an accolade that is among the most respected and recognised international design endorsements highlighting Sea to Summit’s commitment to enhancing user experience through quality product design.

From paring knives and cutting boards through collapsible colanders and cookpots to quality cutlery and tableware, the Detour range provides solutions for preparing and enjoying gourmet meals outdoors. The jury of the ISPO Awards 2024 found that the range is a testament to Sea to Summit’s commitment to enhancing the outdoor cooking experience for adventurers who value practicality, style, and durability. That’s why they decided to reward the series with the coveted prize.
