By knitey from Washington DC Metro on 04/03/2009 Pros: Compact, Durable, Easy To Clean, Lightweight Best Uses: Backpacking, Car Camping, High Altitude, Hiking Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I'm a big fan of Orikaso products and had to order this when I saw it. Great idea to add the game boards to the plates. This set holds up as well as all of the other Orikaso products I've used (sorry dog lady, but I have to disagree with your review - you should have given the set a chance - it does hold up and doesn't leak!) After many uses every piece I have is still going strong. I use these for camping, hiking and backpacking. This is great to keep in the car to play games on as well as to have for portable dog bowls. I use the smaller expresso cups in this set for sauces.

By Jn from Boston on 01/12/2009 Pros: Compact, Durable, Easy To Clean, Entertaining, Lightweight Best Uses: Backpacking, Car Camping Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I have not field tested this product yet. However, in my living room I assembled the whole set, ate cereal and drank both hot (boiling water) and cold beverages without the dishes flying apart, unfolding, or leaking. Liquid rises to a higher level in the folded part of the dishes because of capillary action but as long as you don't fill the dishes overly full and use common sense you should have no spills. Once the dishes have been folded they don't go back to their pristine flat shape. This was more extreme in the cup I used hot water in. My only real concern is that the creases may weaken and tear after folding and unfolding numerous times. Overall I am highly satisfied and I would buy this product again.
By Dog Lady from Chicago, IL on 12/30/2008 Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I purchased this as a Secret Santa Gift for a co-worker who does alot of camping with his family. After seeing how poorly it was constructed I bought something else. Just for fun I took it to the office and people had more fun trying to figure out how to put the cup together then playing any of the games. I would not trust any liquids in any of the vessels.
By Iain from Florida on 08/07/2008 Pros: Compact, Easy To Clean, Lightweight Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: OK, so they are a little unstable, and take some getting used to. But they're lightweight, non-bulky, practical, and a bit funky. (I mean funky as a good thing ...)

Lightweight and effective By mattybeans from san francisco on 07/16/2008 Pros: Comfortable, Compact, Lightweight Best Uses: Backpacking, Hiking, Mountaineering Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: These dishes, plates and cups were pretty useful-extremely light, and kind of fun (to put together). I went on a backpacking trip with some pros that used these, so I was a bit intrigued. They seem durable, are very easy to put together (after a brief bit of puzzlement), and were easy to clean. I didn't think of this before I bought them, but they handled boiling water well also. I think they're a good buy (although they must be pretty cheap to produce ;) and very useful.
Shove them in the ice chest By TeleNut from Wrightwood, CA on 07/14/2008 Best Uses: Backpacking, Car Camping, Mountaineering Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Great in the ice chest so you never forget plates, etc again! Full set is heavy for backpacking but would reccomend bowls.
