The Coolest Pieces of Gear We Tested This Week

Space in your pack can get tight. Even space in your car can get tight. And while the idea of a campfire mug might feel romantic, sometimes efficiency is more important. Check out the new X-Mug from Sea to Summit. The whole thing collapses and goes from a little disk to a plastic mug in a half a second. Made of flexible food-grade silicone (able to withstand temps to 300 degrees Fahrenheit) it also doubles as a measuring cup. Perfect for hot cocoa by the fire at night, and then you can measure your pancake batter in the morning. The nifty little fins keep you from burning your hands. It’s actually part of a whole X-Series of camp dinnerware and pots for lightening and tightening your pack load.—Jon Coen, Men’s Journal contributor
