Sea to Summit X-Series Collapsible Silicone Camping Drinkware, Mug (16.2 fl oz), Sand

I have been searching for a sturdy and reliable retractable cup for some time now. Ages ago, in Girl Scouts, I had a metal "official" Girl Scout retractable cup, it was so useful, and I kept it for years. Well, that was a long time ago, the cup has long since disappeared, and I have not been able to replace it.I discovered this cup while searching on Amazon, it seemed to have all of the qualities for which I was searching. But, I was not sure if any retractable cup could ever replace my beloved Girl Scout model. This cup arrived and I was pleased with it from the very first moment. It is light, very flexible, and I love the cheery fluorescent green color of the cup. The top opening portion of the cup is wide, and surrounded by a black supportive and stabilizing ring.I opened it to its full size quite easily, it is a bit trickier to close. However, after some practice I learned to place even pressure on all side when I wished to close it. This is a very handy item for those needing to take medication, and unable to do so while using a water fountain. It is also perfect for use with a water cooler that has no cups, and it is certainly "green" in that you are not making constant use of disposable paper cups.. I carry it in my purse, it is quite thin when fully retracted and fits easily inside of my smaller purses.I recommend this as a very useful item for many, but in particular for those needing a cup of water for use with medications. The quality appears to be high, and I love the many cheery colors available from which to choose.

I was looking for collapsible cups for on the go painting. These cups are big when I need them and flat when I don't. I did get a third one for my campouts and beach trips. They feel very durable and I've liked using them so far.

I am pretty happy with this item. I could use my GSI pot but the cup is easier to clean as I can turn it inside out and lick it pretty clean.

The mug is holds a large cup of tea or coffee (16oz) and collapses to a small size. At first, I got annoyed that it is rated for only up to 180 degrees, but then I looked closely and realized that this is in Celsius, not Fahrenheit. So pouring boiling water right off the stove should not be an issue. There is no smell. The only small annoyance is that you cannot hold the hot cup with your hands. It is too hot, i.e. there is no insulation. You have to hold the rim. The rim is adequately firm (does not collapse under the weight of the filled cup), so good enough for camp conditions, but I would have loved a slightly thicker band or a sleeve on the cup itself.

It took a LONG time to get here but I have been very happy with the quality and how small it shrinks down. It has a sturdy lip so it wont just dribble fluid all over. I like the measurements as well.. Kinda handy for cooking.

I travel practically everywhere with an atomically hot Zojirushi thermos that has a flip-top drinking lip. I LOVE that thing. Keeps tea/water practically boiling for 18 hours…which makes it hard to drink straight from the thermos when we are hiking/camping. Seems dumb because I could just add cold water/ice, or let it steam off, but I like to keep it piping hot. A glimpse into my personal insanity, but here’s where this Sea to Summit cup comes in. This collapsible cup goes hiking with us regularly, and comes with me in the car, and in airplanes so that I can always drink my tea HOT from the aforementioned thermos without burning myself. Could I probably find a different lid for the thermos? Probably, but why mess with the best? (If you’re a camper, you know the value of waking up to piping hot tea or coffee in your sleeping bag.)The StS cup is a perfect pairing, and I chose the bright green so it’s easy to spot. Have had this for about a month, and used it a lot. Doesn’t seem to absorb odors or stains, and is easier to clean than I expected. Have used this for oatmeal and soup, which wiped right out on the trail.Also to note: for people with small hands, this is a great size. I worried that it would be slippery, but it’s fine. I tend to hold it by the reinforced lip.Ordered another for my husband so we’ll have them for backcountry camping, eating, and washing.

Bought this for skiing to save a few dollars and it works perfectly. Hot was is free in the lodge. This cup and few tea bags make for a nice and inexpensive warm up during cold days skiing. It's study enough to carry hot water from the hot water dispenser to the table without spilling.On one hand I wish there was an available lid, but a sandwich bag meets that need quite nicely too.

I bought this use as the lid for my Toaks 750ml pot and it fits perfectly.

Dit is heel praktisch voor mijn lange fietsreizen. Na 6 jaar, kwam de ring bovenaan los van mijn eerste X-mug. Nu heb ik een nieuwe gekocht, en die zal ook een paar jaar meegaan!Dit produkt is nu vervangen door een nieuwer model bij Sea-to-Summit, maar omdat ik tevreden was over dit (oudere) model, heb ik ervoor gekozen om toch niet het nieuwere model te kopen.

Great you get wot you pay for

This is fantastic, makes me laugh and works very wellHandy

Der Faltbecher wurde für mehrtägige Motorradtouren angeschafft (inkl. Zelt), wo er klaglos seinen Dienst verrichtet.Faltbecher sind immer ein Kompromiss, aber für z.B. Wein meiner Meinung nach viel besser geeignet, als Metall-Becher.Die kleine Standfläche und die mernwürdige Haptik sind die Nachteile.Würde den Becher wegen dem sehr kompakten Packmaß dennoch jederzeit wieder kaufen!

I already use an x mug for myself. I rated it so highly, I bought one for my wife.Compact, robust and can fit in the top of many pots used by backpackers. It does not stain not retain smell or flavours so is ideal for coffee and tea. It stands up and does not collapse though very hot liquids do transfer heat - just hold by the top ring to mitigate.The price is ok for what it is and how long it lasts. I highly recommend.
