The Stanley AeroLight Transit Mug combines lightweight portability with reliable thermal performance for commuters and active lifestyles. At just 180g, it's 33% lighter than Stanley's standard stainless steel drinkware, while still keeping hot drinks hot for up to 4 hours and cold drinks cold for up to 6, stretching to 20 hours with ice. A leakproof locking drink-through lid prevents spills when it's thrown into a bag on the morning commute, and the compact 350ml size fits neatly into a car cup holder.

Care
- Before first use: Wash the mug and lid in warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry.
- Filling: Preheat with hot water for 1-2 minutes for hot drinks, or pre-chill with ice water for cold, then empty before adding your actual drink. Leave some space at the top to prevent overflow when closing the lid.
- Washing: Dishwasher safe, ideally on the top rack with the lid separated. For handwashing, use warm soapy water and a bottle brush to reach the bottom, cleaning the lid components separately.
- Stains or odours: Fill with warm water and a tablespoon of bicarbonate of soda, leave overnight, then rinse thoroughly. A mixture of warm water and white vinegar also works well for coffee or tea staining.
- Storage: Store with the lid off or loosely fitted to allow air circulation, and make sure both the mug and lid are completely dry first.
- What to avoid: Don't microwave it, freeze liquids in it, or use abrasive cleaners or steel wool on the exterior finish.
Questions and Answers
Q: Is it enough for a full day's drinking?
A: The 4 hour hot retention suits a typical commute or morning, and many people refill during the day rather than carrying an entire day's drink. Cold retention lasts longer, up to 6 hours, or 20 with ice.
Q: Is 350ml enough capacity?
A: It's a practical size for a standard coffee or tea, though it's smaller than some commuter mugs which range 470-590ml. It's designed this way specifically to stay light.
Q: Can I take it through airport security?
A: Yes, empty. Liquids over 100ml aren't permitted through security, so empty it beforehand and refill once you're through.
Q: Is it microwave safe?
A: No, it's stainless steel, so it isn't microwave safe.
