Review on IMUSA R200 12W Aluminum 1 25 Quart Silver by Rob Bishop

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Used on my 2200 mile hike on the Appalachian Trail.

First of all, please note that all the negative reviews about this mug come from people who chose the wrong size. Hope this got fixed. I have both sizes of this mug but chose the 1.25 liter for my hike and used it all the way. I cut off the handle as I will be using it as a pot and food and made a Reflectix kuzi for it which kept the food warm even in the Pennsylvania winter. Total weight is 3.7 ounces including kuzi and foil lid. I add Sugru to the lip area so I can use it as a tumbler without having to carry a separate tumbler with me. The rim and handle become too hot to drink from or otherwise hold on to. You won't find a titanium mug of this size and weight, and certainly not at this price. I've been a mountaineer for over 40 years and I think titanium really is an overpriced joke that rarely justifies its cost.

Pros
  • Perfect for chocolate, coffee, soup and more
Cons
  • Expandable
