I bought a purple one of these about 10 years ago at Walker Drug in Moab, and it seemed a little spendy, but I waited until my birthday and then splurged! For climbing in the winter, or taking along in the car, it became my favorite thing I owned. Every time I used it, I thought about how great it was and how much I loved it! (seriously, I really did.) And it was purple! It wasn't just purple either, it was this really beautiful creamy lavender glossy purple. That was money well spent.

Tragedy always strikes though, just when everything is perfect. I have been ransacking all the cabinets for the last couple of weeks....it appears that somehow I lost the purple thermos last winter! It is fairly devastating, and I'm not sure I'll get over it. The nice new red one I just ordered here might help. _________
So I just got my new red thermos, and everything always happens for a reason: this one is lighter! 30% lighter, to be precise! Now I'm glad the purple one is gone! (well, not entirely, but kind of)

first week i had it just bringing coffee to work the cap leaked all over the inside. i have to keep it vertical if i want to avoid this. I thought this was weird so i emailed the company hoping they would send me a new seal or cap. All i got was "i hope you saved your receipt!"
still use the product but will never buy stanley again!!!

Love this so far. This will keep you drink hot for hours. I'm excited to take it into the backcountry this season! Clean as soon as possible because it can't go in the dishwasher so it is hard to scrub without a special brush.

keeps drinks hot even 8 hours later. lid never leaks a single drop even if it ends up upside down in my bag. fully unscrewable lid means i can thoroughly wash the whole thing. never retains odors or stains. wide enough opening for a big bottle brush. big enough to hold lots of morning coffee/tea, but small enough to stick in the water bottle pocket on the side of my backpack. in a word, perfect. we have two!

Keeps drinks amazingly hot. Haven't had any trouble w cup or lid but haven't used it that heavily.

after little use the metal cap on the cup fell off. i gorilla glued it back on and now its fine. the plastic interior of the cup hold the scent and flavor of your last drink which sucks. keeps liquid hot all day though.. just wish they would redesign the cup
