What Redditors Say
Best praise vs top criticism for Soto WindMaster
Best Praise
+80 pts“I love my Soto windmaster. It’s a lot heavier at 67g but its construction and build quality is far more confidence inspiring than the brs. Also its more efficient so you could theoretically get away with bringing less fuel”
r/Ultralight
ViewTop Criticism
+4 pts“Soto Windmaster is $70 to save 20g. That doesn't seem like a good $/g tradeoff. I need to weigh the actual lighter I use, which I haven't done. The weight posted was an estimate. No bidet. Perhaps I will go that route in the future, but right now I am just not comfortable with the idea.”
