Uber-mug?

[Mark R]

Last night I won this in a raffle (at the Banff Mountain Film Festival's Poole showing)...

Much as I'm pleased to win something (anything), I'm slightly bemused as I have no idea what the point of this thing is. The extensive accompanying bumf seems to suggest that I've won the Holy Grail of kayaking gear, but it looks like a normal plastic beaker to me. Am I missing something?

Any other pointless gear folk want to share?

Didn't you find the attachment below in the bottom of the box?

I see it retails for around £6 not including P&P for that price I assume it attracts other mugs

[Kayaks'N'Beer]

At six quid I'd expect it to fill itself with coffee and climb up to my lips!

Just read that even though it's not metal, you canNOT put it in the microwave!

[ArnoG]

No, but it has a patent pending hex shaped base, which is cool to touch. Must be worth a bob or two shirley...

Nylon of course will absorb a small amount of water, I think about 5%, which will make it expand slightly, and presumably reduce the amount of tea you get to drink.

Hang on, do I have some Nylon paddles?

Never mind the mug you are a lucky boy to be in Banff there must still be skiing to be had and Lake Louise is worth a visit just for the scenery IMO

I don't think Mark was in Banff, just at a reshowing of the films in Poole.
