The media could not be loaded.
As soon as my husband saw the navy one he asked if he could have one… he had been using a Stanley and loved it, except for the fact that it would spill if knocked over and he tends to be clumsy. The company was running a Black Friday sale and so I ordered myself a neon pink one and told him he could have the navy one when my pink one came… he’s been using it for 2 weeks now and loves it. I was so impressed with this cup that I bought 2 more from their site as gifts. I hope Amazon gets more colors in stock.
About the cup itself:
Thermal properties:
As this is a straw only style tumbler with no option to sip from the lid, it’s only meant for cold beverages. It keeps ice as long or longer than the Stanley and the Simple Modern, as long as you start with mostly ice and less water, just like any other thermal vessel. Obviously if you have the straw flipped up it will be less insulating. The video on my review was taken to show my best friend how much ice was left after 24 h as well as illustrate that it’s really leakproof.
Durability:
One person has noted that they broke their straw lid, but that can happen with any flip up mouthpiece if you drop something. The lid itself is rimmed in silicone and the low profile of it protects it from damage. As far as the paint, it’s high quality powder coat with a logo that is subtle. I was surprised to see the post that shows the powder coat peeling because that has not been our experience with either of the colors we have. I encourage them to contact the manufacturer for a replacement.
Design:
1. The color match on all components is perfect, unlike some other brands.
2. The handle is comfortable and the cup is well balanced.
3. The dual threaded lid is MUCH easier to use than the Stanley one and the lid itself is crystal clear and low profile, so you can fill the cup up closer to the top than you can with any other brand without the aggravation of the lid displacing some of your water and making a mess.
4. It really IS leakproof, as my little video demonstrates.
5. Although I didn’t even realize it when I ordered, there a rubber bottom (also perfectly color matched, I might add) so it’s really grippy and stable on flat surfaces.
All in all, it’s currently the most impressive of my embarrassingly large collection based solely on performance.
