A strange phenomenon was first discovered at University of British Columbia ski club touring camps in the 1960s. While students carrying bowls or more standard eating vessels received regular portions, those clever few who were using a simple 2 cup measuring cup typically received much larger portions from the servers in the communal meal line. Soon, a few daring students were experimenting with 4 cup measuring cups and found the results to be the same: larger portions. Thus, the original fairshare cup was born. Now nearly 50 years and several innovations later, GSI Outdoors has developed the FairShare Mug II, with insulating sleeve, compacting handle and a new lid that allows mugs to stack when stored, assuring that a whole new generation would receive their fair share too. The FairShare Mug II has the capability of nesting the Infinity Backpacker Mug (not included). Product includes a 32 fl. oz. clear polypropylene mug with graduations, an insulated sleeve with collapsible handle and a screw-on lid.

Product Features

  • DRINK IT UP: The Fairshare Mug II has the capacity of 32 fl. oz. and features a ballistic cloth-wrapped, foam sleeve cozy that insulates hands and contents and has a collapsible handle for a secure grip.
  • SPILL PROOF EXPERIENCE: Features a secure, screw-on lid which insulates and prevents spills.
  • NEVER LOSE ANOTHER CUP: Carabiner clip-in point for attaching to packs.
  • MEASURE WITH EASE: The Fairshare Mug II features high-visibility graduations in ounces and milliliters.
  • IT’S ALL ABOUT THE OUTDOORS: In 1985 three siblings combined their love for the outdoors and set out to create GSI Outdoors. Now 32 years later GSI continues to bring quality cookware to outdoor lovers everywhere.

More than just a mug! I purchased several of these mugs years ago when they first came to market. Since then, they have not only been a staple in our camping supplies, but with our military sons. They’ll hold a “brick” of Ramen very nicely and fit well in a microwave aboard ship — great for those times when the regular fare isn’t up to par! And the lid ensures the meal gets to its destination even in rough seas. It may seem too large for backpacking, but it isn’t. You can pack a day’s meals inside the cup;…

My new favorite camping and backpacking dishware First thing’s first. These things are more like deep bowls than mugs. Note how much volume they hold. They are wider and shorter than a nalgene and hold the same volume. This is not a mug for making a cup of tea.

Great bowl, bad Amazon price I won’t degrade my product review because of the price on Amazon but let me prefix this review by saying the MSRP is only $10.95… Amazon currently has this ‘on sale’ at $14.95 but if you go to GSI or REI or any other online retailer you can get the MSRP price. Just be aware Amazon had free shipping so maybe it’s worth it.
