Insulated Mug recomendations

[Lostdreamer]

Hello all. Scary how one keeps gravitating back here, even if you were only ever really a lurker...

I find myself having to replace the insulated mugs in the car again, because I have broken them. I was browsing through ebay trying to work out which ones looked like they were any use, and this little voice in the back of my mind said "why don't you ask BCUK? I bet they know a decent insulated mug". Normally, my doctor tells me to ignore voices like that but I figured "what's the worst that can happen?"

The important thing is that it hooks over the dashboard in a land rover defender, so anything with finger indents on the handle or the handle too close to the mug itself is a no-no. Bonus points go for spill resistance, easily cleaned, cheap enough I can loan them out without worry and capacious capacity.

So, err, yeah. What ideas do you clever and nice people have?

Hehe, i have one of these and have used it for around 9 years, still works, keeps a fresh brew HOT! for a good hour at least, very cheap, i have abused mine, dropped bashed about in the boot chucked in the bottom of a bergan, brilliant little cup,

I've been through dozens of mugs. The best I've found is this one http://www.littleacornstomightyoaks.co.uk/shop/Klean_Kanteen/Insulated/12ozDeal

Expensive but bullet proof. I have a few Kleen Kanteen water bottles as well, great products but not the cheapest.

I've got a few different ones from £1 poundland to Thermos brand and to be honest an all plastic Aladdin brand I got for about a quid is by far the best out of the lot.

I picked up two BCB 'Army' 1/3 litre flasks,,,,,utter crap they are.

Never a good idea to have a distraction like that in yer car..

You might be tempted to use it whilst on the move....

£80 fine and 3 points on yer license..... Or the worst a death or more....

Please stay safe and look after other road users.....

Check out the Stanley mugs. I got all mine dirt cheap earlier this summer in TK Maxx.

Well said that man.

Fortunately, it's less of a problem than it seems. Partly because I prefer the map monkey/gate gimp role when out exploring. Mostly it's because they are stored there because they are nice and accessable and I can just lean in an grab them rather than for any drinking & driving purpose.

Some nice ideas, but nothing that leaps out so far. Most of them have solid handles, which isn't quite what I am looking for.
Ho hum, may just have to go back to nosing through ebay and experimenting.

? You want one wiv a hollow handle?

Is that t keep yer fingers warm?

Good idea if it is.... Cept cleaning....

Ish. I like to just hook them over the dashboard (or anything else handy) so a 'D' shaped handle is a no-go. I'm looking for the inverted 'L' approach. Sorry for not making it clearer.

What was wrong with the Haynes one I posted? It's insulated, hook handled and has a Land Rover on it!

Ah........

Before you shoot me down regards L shaped handles! I use Contigo Autoseal cups No Handle No Spills No Fuss Chuck them any where they don't leak!http://www.gocontigo.com/travel-mugs.html They appear to do one with some kind of carib handle!

Got mine on ebay about £25 for a pack with 2 in a couple of years ago used daily still going strong!!

My vote is for the Lifeventure thermal mug. It's tough, works well and slides nicely into a stuffed pack. 9 quid at any outdoor shop.
