FAQs

What is the capacity of the Sea to Summit Detour mug?

The mug has a generous capacity of 16 ounces (475 milliliters).

How small does the mug collapse?

It collapses down to a height of approximately 31 millimeters (1.25 inches), making it very compact for storage.

What materials is the mug made from?

It is crafted from durable 304 stainless steel and EU food-grade silicone rubber.

Can I use this mug over a campfire?

No, the mug is not designed for direct heat sources like campfires or stoves. It is intended for drinking beverages, not for cooking or heating.

Is the mug dishwasher safe?

While the materials are durable, hand washing with mild soap and water is recommended to preserve the collapsible mechanism and Cool-Grip fins over time. If using a dishwasher, place it on the top rack and use a gentle cycle.

What does the Sea to Summit Guarantee cover?

The Sea to Summit Guarantee is offered for the Lifetime of the product, covering defects in materials and workmanship.

How do the Cool-Grip fins work?

The fins are molded into the sidewalls of the mug and provide insulation and a comfortable grip, protecting your hands from the heat or cold of the beverage inside.

Troubleshooting

Mug is difficult to collapse or expand

Ensure there is no debris caught between the silicone and stainless steel parts. Gently twist the parts while expanding or collapsing. Make sure the mug is completely dry before attempting to collapse.

Silicone rim feels sticky or has residue

Wash the mug with warm water and mild dish soap, focusing on the silicone rim. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers.

Mug retains a slight odor after use

After washing, try airing out the mug in direct sunlight for a few hours. Baking soda mixed with water can also be used to create a paste for cleaning the silicone, which can help neutralize odors. Ensure thorough rinsing afterward.

Cool-Grip fins are not as effective

Ensure the fins are clean and free of any sticky residue. The effectiveness relies on the integrity of the silicone material; proper cleaning and storage are key.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Care: To maintain the longevity and appearance of your Detour mug:

  1. Cleaning: Hand wash with mild soap and warm water. The silicone and stainless steel parts can be cleaned effectively this way. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrub brushes, especially on the silicone.
  2. Drying: Allow the mug to air dry completely with both parts slightly separated to prevent moisture from being trapped.
  3. Storage: Store the mug in its collapsed state. Ensure it is completely dry before collapsing to prevent mold or mildew.
