No matter how far from a fridge you roam, you can keep your drink ice cold for 24 hours (or hot for six hours) with the SIC travel cup.

SIC Travel Cup Review

Price and Where to Buy the SIC Travel Cup: At the time of writing, the SIC 30 oz. mug was available for $29.99 on Amazon.

How the SIC Travel Cup Rates:

Usefulness: 10/10. Although many travel mugs claim to keep drinks seriously cold, most of them fail after a few hours. I was very impressed by the SIC cup–I filled the mug up with ice water in the morning, took it to the beach (where it was left in direct sunlight), and refilled with with water (but not ice) throughout the day. At the end of the evening, the ice was still intact in the mug!
Value: 10/10. The sale price is a great deal, since the SIC 30 oz. cup usually retails for $49.99.
Durability: 10/10. The cup is made from extra thick stainless steel, so it should last for a long time–but if it doesn’t, the cups come with a lifetime warranty.
Cool Factor: 10/10. The SIC cup will literally keep you (and your beverage) cool, but I also love all of the colors that it comes in.

Final Verdict: If you’re serious about keeping your drink cold (or hot), the SIC cup is a great deal that will last you a lifetime.
