So, I was interested to try the mark II mug to see how it compared to the classic stainless steel Crusader mug I’ve used for years, particularly in terms of durability. This classic design can be used as a mug, cooking pot and bowl and is manufactured matt finish stainless steel. I also have a stainless “heavy” lid that is a bit too heavy imho – I’ve not carried it regularly if I’m backpacking any distance but have then suffered the disadvantages of smoky water.When sending items back please ensure that the proof of purchase (or copy) is within the package with any instructions if applicable.

I would recommend getting one of the aluminium lids that are available separately rather than the plastic BCB lid.
