As much as the logo printed enamel mugs are cool looking, I don't think they're worth the money when you can just get a regular GSI mug for like 5 bucks. Plus they don't hold much heat for very long in my opinion.

I like the Zojirushi mugs and bottles. We've got a 1.5 Liter Zojirushi vacuum container that we always use when camping. We will boil water in the morning while camping and fill it up and then set it aside. Water will still be steaming hot the next morning (if we don't use it the night before) for hot chocolate or tea. The only bad thing with the bigger sized ones is that the coating on the inside will stain and pick up flavors after a while. I've got one that is perma coffee stained from using it at work. If you get the smaller sized all stainless ones without the interior coating you don't run into this issue.

Thermos double wall stainless. Pick the style that you like best, I like the leakproof options. I use mine every day and it always gets put in the camping kit.

Best mug for camping is the mug you have. If you do not have a mug then you quickly make one

Another vote on the Thermos brand one. I've been using it everyday for 15 months and have no issues with it at all. I'll even keep ice water in it and be in a 105F area and hours later still have ice.

Chantal made a stainless thermos push button mug for the lance armstrong foundation, at least up till he destroyed himself. It is the best performing thermos I've ever used. I can make coffee in the afternoon, get up the next morning and its still plenty warm. My Weim ate the lids off the first two (apparently a coffee lover) so I tracked down a few more via that there internet and bought extra for stock. Around $25 as I recall.
I remember seeing a shoot out a while back and zojirushi got top marks for maintianing temps, both hot and cold. I have other Zojirushi products and they're top notch. I wouldnt be afraid to take shot with one of those.

Zombie, I know, but came across this thread again while searching something else and figured I'd update.
I took my own advice and bought one of the Zojirushi thermoset while on a trip. Without doubt, hands down THEE best hot/cold thermos type device I've ever purchased. I thought the Armstrong branded version I bought was good, but this blows it and everything else I've ever tried right out of the water. It will keep hot liquid hot far longer than anything I've used, especially if you're wanting to store that hot stuff for later use. I filled one with coffee and then forgot about the dang thing. I opened it up around 48 hrs later and she was still plenty warm. If you're drinking from it the obvious heat loss from the opening/closing takes its toll, but it still does better than anything else I've owned. 5-star.

Lots of cool stuff here. I recently bought the 64oz growler & the 3Qt Vacuum crock. I can make an entire pot of coffee or tea & pour it in the growler. I pre heat the inside with hot tap water. 14 hrs later, when i opened it, it was still steaming. This was inside the house, not out in the cold. I am sure the crock will give similar performance but have not used it yet.

Was searching for mugs a couple years ago and was getting frustrated with the options. I wanted something that would nest and not burn my lips. I ended up finding these from Stanley, just the green cups, but I cant find them again online. They where listed as replacement parts and were only a couple bucks a piece, if I remember.

Don't forget melamine either, that is the material your school lunch trays were made of. I am considering replacing our metal plates with them. Lots of places like World Market sell melamine dish sets for "outdoor" use
