Outdoor gear brands put countless hours, serious money, and a helluva lot of effort into the research and development of even their most simple products. Color palettes shift, weights shed grams, and every so often something new changes the game entirely. And sometimes the original is near perfect as is, and stands the test of time unchanged.
Case in point: the Kelly Kettle, a cleverly designed combination kettle-and-stove hailing from Ireland's western shores that needs only light kindling to get a liter of water boiling within minutes.
The kettle may or may not be new to you, but it’s remained virtually the same since its inception in the late 1890s. It's makers, it would seem, take that old saying about things ain’t being broke very seriously. And good on them for it.
