Camping Helikon-Tex Fold-A-Cup Wildo — Orange

The Fold-A-Cup Wildo is the original Swedish collapsible cup distributed by Helikon-Tex, designed for those who want to cut pack weight and bulk without giving up a functional drinking vessel. With a capacity of 250 ml and a weight of just 24 g, it fits in any side or front pocket of a pack.

The material is BPA-free, making it safe for hot water and drinks: it handles heat, cold, and compression without issue. Open, it measures 10x5x7 cm; folded it collapses to 9.5x2.5x7 cm, under three centimetres thick, which means it genuinely fits almost anywhere. That is the trade-off to keep in mind: the folding construction keeps the footprint minimal, but the flexible wall does not offer the rigidity of a steel or titanium cup — anyone who prefers to set a cup down on uneven ground without holding it may want a rigid model instead. For those who count every gram in the field and need a reliable vessel for a drink or a hot broth, the weight-to-volume ratio is hard to match.

The design is patented for the Swedish military and manufactured in Sweden: this is not a makeshift solution but an item engineered to hold up in demanding operational and outdoor environments.
