Sea to Summit Kitchen Sink (2026)

The Sea to Summit Kitchen Sink is the collapsible camp basin that makes dishwashing, food prep, and personal washing in the backcountry — or at the campsite — genuinely easy. Made from bluesign APPROVED recycled 70D nylon with a fully taped, watertight PU-coated interior, it holds its shape when full, packs flat when empty, and stows in a compact zippered pouch small enough for any pack. Available in 5L, 10L, and 20L to suit everything from ultralight trips to base camp setups.

Watertight and Built to Hold Its Shape

Unlike floppy silicone basins that collapse under a full load, the Kitchen Sink uses a rigid steel wire rim to maintain its shape when in use — no hands required to keep it open. The PU inner coating is rated to 2,000mm hydrostatic head and every seam is fully taped, so the sink stays watertight under normal use. The wide, stable base lets you set it down on any surface and walk away. Note: for best freestanding stability, fill to at least four-fifths capacity.

Made Responsibly — bluesign APPROVED Recycled Nylon

The outer fabric is a certified recycled bluesign APPROVED 70D nylon — meaning it meets strict environmental and chemical safety standards at every stage of production. The exterior features a non-PFC DWR finish, keeping the outside of the sink dry and clean while the interior handles the water. No PVC, no PFAS — just a cleaner material choice for gear used around water and food.

Designed Around Leave No Trace

The Kitchen Sink makes it straightforward to do camp washing the right way. The webbing carry handles make it easy to transport a full sink of dirty dishwater at least 60 metres from any water source before disposal — the LNT standard for backcountry camps. The black interior absorbs solar heat to warm water naturally on sunny days, and speeds drying once you're done. Safe for use with hot water up to 60°C / 140°F and standard camp detergent; not for use with bleach.

Three Sizes for Every Trip Style

The 5L is the choice for solo ultralight trips and minimalist gram-counters — small enough to forget it's there, big enough to handle a mug, bowl, and pot. The 10L is the most versatile size for two-person trips, weekend backpacking, and paddling — ample room for a full dish cycle without unnecessary bulk. The 20L suits larger groups, base camps, or car camping setups where capacity matters more than pack weight.

Packs Flat, Stows Anywhere

When you're done, the Kitchen Sink collapses flat and slides into its included zippered storage pouch with drain hole — so you can pack it away even slightly damp without worrying about mildew building up inside. The 5L packs to just 11.7 × 12.1 × 3.5 cm (5 × 5 × 1 in) and weighs 66 g (2.3 oz); even the 20L packs to a flat 16.7 × 17.1 × 3.5 cm (7 × 7 × 1 in) at just 125 g (4.4 oz).

Who Is the Kitchen Sink For?

This is the collapsible camp sink for anyone who has ever balanced a pot of water on uneven ground, made do with a stuff sack, or skipped proper dishwashing because it was too awkward. It's ideal for backpackers, paddlers, and car campers who want to do camp chores properly — Leave No Trace, hot water, actual scrubbing — without adding meaningful weight or bulk to their kit. Available in three sizes and made from certified recycled materials, the Sea to Summit Kitchen Sink is the kind of simple, well-made tool you'll reach for on every trip.
