For SS26, British owned adventure retailer WildBounds is delighted to bring to the UK the definitive collection of portable coffee solutions from premium outdoor brewing experts VSSL. VSSL’s ever-evolving range of precision-built, adventure-ready coffee gear is made to take your camp brew from just-about-decent to genuinely exceptional. Featuring grinders that slip into your pack but deliver barista-worthy results, nesting pour-over kits that slot together beautifully and work like a charm, and tumblers built for comfort, flavour and frosty morning starts. This is gear made for real outdoor use – rugged, hardwearing kit, built to last and designed for dialled-in coffee, even when you’re three days into the West Highland Way or brewing up at a windswept bothy.
The VSSL Rift Tumbler 10oz is the outdoorsy coffee connoisseur’s new favourite mug — small enough to chuck in your pack, smart enough to keep your brew warm and delicious. Built from extra-thick 0.5mm recycled stainless steel for added durability, with double-wall vacuum insulation and a leakproof, lockable lid, the Rift keeps your coffee hot (or cold beverages ice cold for hours in the summer) and your pack dry. The sprung latch makes one-handed sipping easy, while the anti-slip base keeps things steady on uneven ground. Pair it with your VSSL grinder, Nest dripper and pour-over setup for a proper brew with a view — even if you’re miles from the nearest road.
Choose from five colours; Ash, Pacific Blue, Sahara, Stone & Wild Sage. The large 16oz (473ml capacity) Rift Tumbler is priced at £35 and the 10oz edition (296ml) £30. Other products in VSSL’s coffee solutions include the Java Grinder and Nest Pour Over Sets, Kits and other accessories. Buy on line at vssslgear or WildBounds.com
