GSI OutdoorsInfinity Fairshare Mug I Lightweight, BPA-Free Mug for Backpacking, Camping & Outdoors

I make my own soups and stews with lentil, beans, rice, etc. I cook the soups and stews for about 15 to 20 minutes and than pour it in the cup and let it sit to continue cooking, and I eat it right out of the cup.

The capacity, neoprene sleeve, carrying handle, and locking/spill-proof lid are all amazing. I typically make 1.5+ cups of overnight oats then throw this in a cooler then go offroading for 18+ hours and it holds up very well being banged around most of its life. 100% recommend!

It’s great to rehydrate meals and store leftovers in.I like that the Infinity Backpackers mug will nest inside of it.I don’t like having things bounce around on my pack so I may just remove the built in plastic carabiner loop,not sure yet.Its capacity is large enough for a decent sized meal on the trail

Kept everything warm even in cold temps. Easily warmed oatmeal and other hydrated goods.

I bought this because I use my GSI Infinity mug so much for solo backpacking. I wanted a bigger cold soaking option for when I bring other people. Unfortunately, I found the Fairshare's design to be unsuitable for backpacking, car camping, or even packing my lunch. Three stars because it's well made and I still bring it with me for hotel travel. Americans and our dearth of electric kettles.Pros:Does not leakGreat capacityMicrowavableDurableCons:-The mug vacuum seals with changes in temperature or altitude. That's expected for any container that doesn't leak,. However, the lid. It's a screw top instead of a flip top like the Infinity. You need a pipe wrench or a deep freezer to get the mug back open. The Vargo Bot has the same issues, but the bigger diameter of the Fairshare lid makes it more challenging.-The metal snap on the neoprene sleeve. Who doesn't love pulling hot things out of microwaves with their bare hands? What is the purpose of a cozy anyways?-The fit of the neoprene sleeve. It's too loose. All the gradient/measurement markings are on the outside and rubbed off after a few uses.-The fabric handle is too big to hold the mug stable. I end up holding the carabiner hook point to keep from spilling all over myself.-The cararbine hook point. I can't nest the Fairshare inside a camping pot because of the protruding carabiner hook point. Why bother with the fabric handle?

I ordered green but blue was sent instead. Other than that all was quite good with the product. Smaller 16 oz mug fits inside well and I love being able to microwave foods in it.
