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.

Definitely deserves 5 stars , but if your planning a long expedition , I’d go with a smaller version
Great backpacking mug with lid Some experienced backpacking friends had these mugs on a trip, so I had to get one for my backpacking arsenal. It’s lightweight, large, but I can pack things in it. Some people might not like how big it is, but I just pack things into it so it doesn’t seem like it’s taking up that much space. Has a screw top lid so liquids cannot escape if you don’t want them to. And the handle has a hole in the side that you can attach a carabener to. I use it for my drinks, soups, freeze dried meals, to…
