Snow Peak Japanese Titanium 450 Mug Camping, Backpacking, Cooking, Drinking Mug

Sturdy and lightweight

I bought a Snow Peak 450 mug 5 years ago at REI. It has been my daily cup since then for all meals. Still looks and feels like new. It sold me on exchanging my camp and thru hike gear to titanium. I then bought a Snow Peak Trek 1400 pot set to nestle my solo stove. It has been excellent. To save money since I bought TOAK 1100 pot sets for family camping, mugs, Valtcan mugs, Keith flasks etc. They were all good quality but…..though more expensive Snow Peak gear is just a cut above. Always ends up being my go to. Note in some cases these other brands in titanium are slightly lighter but at a cost. The Snow Peak gear just has a nicer finish, more solid and the big thing….easier to clean in the field after meals!!!! See below. I’m former US Army field trained, escape n evasion, survival, air assault school etc. so I like to thru hike fast. Now as I age (52) I still like to move fast, but also need to reduce pack weight. Titanium cookware and modern sleep systems have been a God send to reduce weight. Also, in the field I use no soap, instead I season all my pots. I recommend this for any field craft. For those that don’t know this means no soap. You finish eating you scape all food n drink off pots n mugs. Wipe. Then just cook off the rest. Good to go. No soap nor dish cleaning methods needed. YouTube or Rumble how to season your pots. So with that, Snow Peak Titanium ware seasons better than Losge cast iron. Much better than the other brands. The reason is that the other brands’ titanium have a rough coat finish. It promotes food sticking to it hard to get off. Or in Toak’s case the bottom of the pots have hard to clean ridges and indentations which were put there to strengthen their pots since their metal is thinner to save weight. Not so Snow Peak. Their Titanium is more finished or polished making it less stick. Also their mugs and pots are full flat on the inside bottom making scrape, wipe cook off field cleaning a breeze. As for this 600 Snow Peak Mug….it’s the best. Like my 450 this will now be my daily house drinker and my 450 moved tp the camping role. My two Snow Peak mugs will outlast me. Though I love my Toak 450 Mug (my former hike mug) and my Valtcan 600 I love them, but…. I am not confident they hold up to 30 years of hard use. If I accidentally step on the Valtcan or Toak maybe they crush in. Though that could be debatable. As for the snow peak mugs, they probably would hold up better. Conclusion. Save your money if you can to buy Snow Peak it will last your lifetime. If like like me at various times you want to try or can only afford other brands, it’s cool, they definitely work. Just not as nice as a Snow Peak. For Thru hikers, PCT hike or Appalachian trail rats…..the Snow Peak gear may be a fraction of a gram heavier but…..BUT, the fact they will never fail you and so much quicker easier to clean, it well more than makes up for 1-3 grams added weight. Finally, the other gear definitely made in PRC. Seems safe. But you never know. As for the Japanese Snow Peak, quality control is just noticeably better and this safer. Again I use other brands, but whenever I burn a pot while cooking, I do worry more w the Non Snow Peak brands as to if the metal is safe. With Snow Peak I have the peace of mind to be the lousy burn the food cook I am, the metal is safe.

Light weight, perfect size. This is an excellent buy for ultra-light weight backpacking. I realized I am not that ultra, so replacing with an anadized aluminum cup for better heat retention.

Light weight and durable. Works well for backpack trips. It needs the Hot Lips for drinking hot beverages.

This is a titanium cup that has become my EDC morning coffee mug--while the maker's intent is back packing it works well in the kitchen equally--it is a 450 ml cup so slightly larger than a typical mug, which is good for minimizing spills. Titanium does a fine job of heat retention so no need for a double wall. It is light and quite sturdy. Snow Peak who makes this is design driven--I particularly like their approach to the handle. Unlike ceramic or glass this will not break if you drop it. The major downside is price--this runs over $35--they do warranty their product for a lifetime

Its really not hard to imagine how this product works. It is a cup, with a folding handle, made out of Titanium. They rolled the top lip so it isn't sharp. It holds fluids like a champ. It is light, strong, durable, inert and can deal with extremes of temperature without damage. Unless you go out of your way to destroy it, it will probably last a lifetime. If you're the kind of person who would like one do-anything cup instead of a bunch of different mugs and glasses, this is a good choice. If you want a camping or travel cup, its great. If you don't make any special demands of your cups, you can get something much cheaper.

I love the weight, how it looks. Knowing I paid a lot makes me take care of it. I did loose my first one after a year but instantly got another.

Good quality

I’m satisfied with this cup. It’s little bit hard to clean, it doesn’t slide when I’m cleaning. In general it’s very good quality and light.

La taza llegó en una caja de Amazon sin protección y la boca no tiene la forma de un círculo perfecto, el titanio es un material duro y es difícil intentar dejarlo perfectamente redondo por los medios caseros, no tuve otra opción que hacer la devolución, es una bonita taza, lástima la falta de más protección en el envío para que no sufran deformaciónes.

Awesome sellers. Definitely will purchase again!
