Life Gear Stainless Steel Double Walled Mug with Carabiner Handle – Portable Rockclimbing, Hiking, Backpacking or Camping Travel Cup 10 oz

Durable
Purchased for a camping trip because I was looking for something lightweight. It is sturdy, durable and very light weight, and at 10 oz was easy to clip onto the outside of my pack.

More work before using…
This product at first glance is great…. and if the company learns anything from my review (as I hope you will) then it will consistently receive 5 stars instead of the 3 I give today.
First, this is a decent double walled mug. There are others on Amazon that will hold a bit more but that’s just a preferential issue for some that may want a tad more in their mug every morning.
The mug can hold scalding hot liquids without singing your skin if you touch the outside of the mug. But it can get warm so the carabiner is a neat trick.
About the carabiner…. it’s cheap, looks cheap feels cheap, because it’s a crappy little item. This carabiner represented a HUGE issue for me.
The manufacturing process is sloppy and doesn’t consider what will happen when the tiny screws holding the carabiner, fail…. I bought 4- all failed spectacularly, with minimal use.
Since the screws were just stuck in hap hazardously, they got loose enough to come out after 1 or 2 uses.
The screws are the chink in the armor. When they get loose water (when washing) enters the double wall and stagnates. Good luck getting the water out again. So long as the cheap screws are loose water will continue to fill the space between the inside and outside walls. Here’s what I had to do to fix what NEVER should have happened!
I removed all eight screws from the mugs (several had significant rust on them—— stainless? Not a bad idea folks) I cleaned them as best I could and set them and the cheap carabiners off to the side. I washed all four mugs being careful not to introduce more water into the openings.
Then for about a week I stacked the mugs in front of a space heater. What water I was unable to coax out, a week in front of a heater remedied! After they cooled and the water gone I set up a work station.
Using blue thread locker on every screw I replaced the cheap carabiner and reinstalled the screws. I used a small (electronics sized) screw driver and slowly fixed each screw.
After my ordeal I am happy to say that the carabiner will fail but the screws won’t. The mug can be submerged and water does not penetrate.
Lastly I was only able to remove 1 and 1/2 of the stickers they slap on every mug! I tried armor all, goo gone, and other chemicals to loosen the sticker for removal but it must have been applied with super glue!! This is a personal issue. The bottom of the mug says what is and I think these super stickers are redundant advertisement. I dislike them and so another star slips away.
Other manufacturers sell similar mugs without feeling it necessary to embellish the mug with labels.
All of this aside I am now happy with my mugs and one I use every day!
I believe the mug should set itself apart by its appearance, it’s durability, functionality, & quality of materials/ workmanship.
Remember this is my review based on what I expect and what I have. For some folks the factory issued item will be fine, so enjoy them if you buy them.
Happy shopping!!

Nice mug, horrible sticker
The mug itself is fine. However, it’s covered in a giant sticker, which is pasted on with glue that is impervious to soap, Brillo pads, scrubbies, soaking, etc., etc. So you end up with a huge sticky mess covering half the cup that will attract dirt, ash, bugs, whatever. This ruins the mug.
And please don’t reply with some miracle cure you’ve found to remove this adhesive. You shouldn’t need to go to extremes to simply remove a label from a metal cup.

Cumple perfectamente su propósito, como motociclista en ocaciones necesito una taza que se pueda transportar con seguridad, que mantenga el café caliente y que sea resistente y esta taza cumple con todo esto, no se arrepentirán por su compra

great, lightweight, easy to clip on and off.
thanks
