GSI Outdoors Glacier Stainless Steel Bottle Cup I Lightweight Cup or Pot for Travel, Camping and Backpacking - 24 oz

We use to use sierra cups years ago, but this is a better modern version. It’s small enough for a day pack, has measurements on the side and big enough to cook decent portions in. My whole family each has one. Very well made product by a quality company GSI

Robust & Perfect

Very good, Well made,. Not heavy.Good size,. And handles are well made.Bought it to replace the small cup that comes with the Svea stove.Fits a Svea stove perfectly.

Pros- Durable- Functional- Perfect size- Good for Backpacking- Cheap- Good handlesCons- A little heavyThe GSI Outdoors Glacier Stainless Cup/Pot is a great cup, I used it on my 4 day backpacking trip in the Sierras for all my meals and it worked well. This product is a little heavy if you’re going ultralight (not as light a Ti), but is durable, nests in many pots and water bottles (like the 40ounce Klean Kanteen and the Stanley Adventure Camp cook set). I have also used the GSI Outdoors Glacier cup on an open fire and on backpacking stoves. This cup would not fit a Ramen pack, but was good for oatmeal, liquids and smaller meals, if you have a big appetite, this probably is not the right cup/pot for you. Overall this a great product for someone who wants a functional, durable and long-lasting cup to add to their cook kit.I would also recommend the Klean Kanteen Wide Mouth Bottle with Stainless Loop Cap, the Rothco MOLLE Compatible Water Bottle Pouch, and the TOAKS Titanium 750ml pot.

Prima Edelstahlbecher der jeden Anforderungen gewachsen ist. Vom Wasser kochen über Suppen bis hin zum Reis oder Haferbrei macht der Becher dank seiner Größe alles problemlos mit. Zudem ist er leicht zu säubern und sehr gut im Rucksack zu verstauen da man ihn zB über eine nalgene 1100ml Trinkflasche stülpen kann.Wer auf der Suche nach einem leichten, langlebigen und vielseitigen Kochbecher ist, der ist hier gut bedient. Klare Kaufempfehlung!Ich werde mir noch eine Art Griff aus Draht basteln den ich an dem umgestülpten Rand befestigen kann damit man den Becher über ein Feuer hängen kann um so die Hitze zu kontrollieren.

Die Verpackung ist ausreichend jedoch könnte der Becher besser gepolstert seien als ein Brief mit Kunstoffnoppen aber ist ok . Im end effeckt ist es ein gebrauchs bzw. metallgegenstand der ein Postzusteller-wurf vertragen sollte...Nun zum Becher :Er ist 8,5 cm hoch, der Becher Falz(obere Kante) hat 10,1 cm breite und die Bodenbreite beträgt 9,5 cm500 ml angegeben sind angegeben, diese verkraftet der Becher auch da bleiben dann ca. noch 3-5 mm bis zum überlaufenÜber die Nalgene-Trinkflaschen passte er auch mit ca 1-3 mmm lufter ist sehr leicht verglichen mit den Ösi Bundesherr-Becher,eher zu vergleichen mit den Amerikanischen Original Feldbecher was das gweicht angeht, der Amy-Becher jedoch mehr Fassungsvermögen besitzt oder sagen wir mal so: umrühren kann bei 500 ml Fassungsvermögen und 500 ml was auch immer bei 3-5 mm bis zur OIberkannte eine riskante sache werden. Wo beim Amy-Becher noch gut 1,5 - 2 cm platz ist.Die Qualität ist top, schön bzw. gut verarbeitet zum reinigen gut geeignet daher er innen wie aussen nicht rauh(nachbauten der US -Feldflaschenbecher) sondern eher fast glatt bzw. aufpoliert ist, ist er gut zu waschen und ein mühsames reinigen erspart man sich. Die Oberkante ist dünn abgerundet um ein umschenken oder trinken daraus zu erleichtern.Weiters wird dadurch die Verletzungs oder Verschüttungs-Gefahr minimiert und ist somit bestens fürs schnelle Cafe kochen geeignet.die Griffe sind schön rund umgebogen nicht wie manch andere und/oder scheppern nicht wie manch Feldflaschenbecher-Griff. Die Punktschweissungen der Griffstück-Halterungen sehen auch sauber aus.vielleicht hat ja GSI outdoors die Patente von der Firma T... gekauft und produziert sogar in der gleichen Produktionswerkstätte anderes logo,name und fertig is er ;-)ein vergleich wäre hier interresant !Fazit :fürs Camping, Outdooraktivitäten oder Bushcraft bestens geeignet !Persönlich : würde ich den Becher wieder kaufen+ Verarbeitung+ geringes gewicht+ nicht rostend+ kombinierbar mit Nalgene Trinkflasche+ Langlebig- Verpackung (egal)- Füllmenge (ideal wären 800 ml)- Keine Messskala(egal)ich hoffe das hilft euch bei eurer Entscheidung was für DICH am besten geeignet ist !

I read the other reviews on the mug and took note of the moans about the labels. My mug arrived and both the labels peeled off leaving no residue at all. The mug performed well on the Trangia stove and cleaned up perfectly after use. It fits perfectly on my one litre Nalgene bottle and is now part of my Brew Kit. I would recommend this iten

I just got this cup yesterday. The reason I bought it is that my son will be going to his second Cub Scout Day Camp next summer and I have been asked to be the head "Walking Leader" for his group. I've been getting gear that I think I'll need slowly since I was asked because I don't want to drop a wad the month before. I think this cup will be a handy addition to my kit for that.I purchased a Maxpedition Versipack Mongo a little over a month ago from Amazon as I expect to be toting a little more stuff next summer then I did previously. I thought this cup, along with a 1 Liter water bottle would be a good fit. And it is. The cup fits into the sleeve the Mongo has for the 1 Liter water bottle, but it's a TIGHT fit. This is probably due to the bag being new. The fabric is still stiff and the bag itself hasn't had time yet to be broken in. But the cup does fit.What I had to do was "screw" the cup into the sleeve. I think by having it there for awhile it'll stretch the fabric out a bit. But as of right now I wouldn't want to try to get it out to actually use the cup. It's that tight because of the stiffness of the fabric. Given time I think all things will work out.The construction of the cup seems solid enough although I wonder about the steel and hot beverages. Since I'll probably be using this in the summer I don't necessarily have to worry much about that though. (I have a vintage Sierra Club cup for the steel cup/hot stuff.)There have been a few complaints about the stickers. I got the one on the side off without any problems, the bottom one was another story. It has a mylar backing. Best thing I can tell you is to peel off all you can. Squirt some lighter fluid on it, wait a bit and wipe off what you can. Then put the cup in the dishwasher. After that, scrape and squirt again with lighter fluid. That got off all the "goo" for me.

Of all my backpacking gear, one of the things that give me the most fits is the lowly cup. I just can't seem to find the perfect cup, or even one that comes close enough for me to be happy and give up the search. Plastic cups/mugs have cracked and don't do temperature extremes well; single-wall stainless steel cups are versatile and tough but in the cold will take your coffee from scalding to tepid in about 4 seconds flat; titanium cups are nice, save you a gram or two over stainless, and cost about as much as your kid's braces. So, I gave this GSI single-wall stainless cup (see above) a try...Size and Shape: are good. As described, a 32 oz. Nalgene bottle will nest nicely into this cup. That's a potential space saver, but only if you carry your bottle in your pack (probably not) or if you can fit the cup at the bottom of your bottle holder. The cup easily holds 16 fl. oz. with about 1/2 inch of space left at the top. That's pretty good capacity, to me, and allows for small ramen noodle meals on the go as well as extra large sizes of morning java or evening hot cocoa. The size also means a decent bottom, which is slightly indented, that will fit on most backpack or camp-stove burners. (I would have preferred a perfectly flat bottom without indent, but this is a nit-pick) So, this cup can double as a tiny pot, too, and that's nice.Handles: Meh. It comes with curved handles that do a pretty good job of hugging the cup when stored and can be folded out to hold when the cup's too hot. They are not spring loaded, which I suppose is fine, but when folded out they do not meet cleanly or 'lock' together, so when you are holding the cup, the two sides of the handle are constantly shifting in your grip. While it doesn't make the cup unusable, it is certainly annoying. Every time. It puzzles me that GSI, maker of such well-designed campware, could put their name on such clumsy and ill-conceived handles.Quality and Construction: The cup is bright and smooth on the outside and has a brushed finish on the inside. The lip is curled over and smooth. Weight and thickness are typical of a stainless camp cup and this one is plenty strong. Going back to the handles: Each curved handle is basically bent wire, hooked into a bracket that is tack welded onto the cup. I tend to prefer rivets over tack welds even though I know in my heart that I'm more likely to win the lottery than have my cup fail due to tack welds. Still. If you really, truly, hate the handles - as I do - you can simply spread them apart and take them out of the brackets.So would I recommend this cup? Well, I'm not sure. I really like the size and shape of it, but I HATE the handles. Honestly, I like it a lot better after I've taken the handles off, though now I've got to use gloves, or a multitool, or a pot-grabber to deal with the thing when it's hot. Also, it's still single wall stainless steel, making it problematic when it's cold. I think I'll put a neoprene sleeve over it, salvaged from my Nalgene bottle holder when it gives out , which would make it better still. Really this is between three and four stars, for me, for a product that has potential but ultimately misses the mark.
