Wildo folding cup

Wildo Fold-A-Cup® Bio Green – the foldable classic

Some gadgets don’t just survive for decades—they become the standard against which all others are measured. The Wildo Fold-A-Cup® is one such product. Its simple yet ingenious design has made it one of the world’s most widely used outdoor cups, appreciated by everyone from scouts and hikers to soldiers and long-distance trekkers.

And even though there are lighter alternatives available today, this is still a cup that often finds its way into my own pack. At 25 grams, it’s certainly not the lightest on the market, but it’s light enough to disappear into the gear list while feeling significantly sturdier than many ultralight alternatives.

A cup that actually gets used

It’s easy to obsess over every gram, but sometimes it’s all about real-world functionality. The Fold-A-Cup® sits firmly in your hand, feels secure when filled with a hot drink, and is sturdy enough to be used day after day on the trail. For morning coffee at camp, it’s significantly more pleasant than many thinner alternatives, and when you come across a clear mountain stream, it works just as well for scooping up water for a quick sip.

It is precisely the combination of low weight, user-friendliness, and durability that ensures it still has a natural place even in a lightweight pack.

Takes up minimal space

What has made the Fold-A-Cup® a classic is its smart foldable design. When the cup isn’t in use, the rim folds in easily, making it very thin. It then slips easily into a pocket, cooking pot, or side compartment of your backpack without taking up unnecessary space.

It is precisely this detail that ensures it always seems to find a spot in your pack—even when every cubic centimeter counts.

Bio Green – a greener choice

In the Wildo® Bio Green series, classic Swedish outdoor design meets the materials of the future. The cup is made from a bioplastic consisting of 50% sugarcane-based material. The result is a product with the same functionality, durability, and lifespan as the original, but with a lower carbon footprint thanks to reduced carbon dioxide emissions during production.

A small step for a cup—but a step in the right direction for outdoor gear that’s used for a long time.

A Swedish design icon

The Fold-A-Cup® is not only a practical outdoor product but also a piece of Swedish design history. It has even been classified as a work of art by Svensk Form’s Copyright Panel—an unusual recognition for such an everyday yet well-thought-out product.
