  Product Description
The Travellife Lua Gin Glass brings proper gin drinking to your caravan, motorhome or campsite without the worry of broken glass in transit. This 2-piece set uses Tritan copolyester, which looks almost identical to real glass but won't shatter when knocked over on an uneven pitch or during travel. The balloon-style shape gives your gin and tonic room to breathe with plenty of space for ice and garnishes, just like you'd expect at home.

Tritan performs well in caravanning conditions where traditional glass fails. The material handles heat up to 100°C, resists scratches from cupboard rattling, and won't pick up odours from your other camping gear. You can run these through the dishwasher on the top shelf after a long day, which saves precious water compared to handwashing delicate glassware. The clarity stays crystal-clear even after repeated washes, unlike cheaper plastics that cloud over time.

Each glass in this pair is lightweight enough for backpack camping but substantial enough that it doesn't feel cheap when you're relaxing with a proper drink. The set stacks neatly in caravan cupboards, and because they're 100% recyclable, you're not adding non-recyclable waste to campsites. These work just as well in the garden or at festivals as they do in your motorhome.

Frequently Asked Questions

What capacity are the Travellife Lua Gin Glasses?
Whilst Travellife hasn't published exact capacity specifications for the Lua Gin Glass, gin balloon glasses typically hold between 400ml and 650ml to accommodate a proper serve with plenty of ice and garnishes. The Lua range includes a 400ml drinking glass and a 470ml wine glass, suggesting the gin glass likely falls within a similar capacity range suitable for a standard gin and tonic with room for ice and botanical garnishes.
Can I put these gin glasses in the dishwasher?
Yes, the Travellife Lua Gin Glasses are dishwasher safe but must be placed on the top shelf only. Tritan material withstands temperatures up to 100°C, but positioning them on the top rack protects them from the higher heat and water pressure found in the lower basket. Keep dishwasher temperatures below 60-65°C during the drying cycle to prevent any potential warping over time, though Tritan handles dishwashing significantly better than standard plastics.
What is Tritan and how does it differ from regular plastic?
Tritan is a BPA-free copolyester manufactured by Eastman Chemical that offers exceptional clarity, durability and chemical resistance compared to standard plastics like polycarbonate or acrylic. It maintains glass-like transparency without clouding, resists impacts and scratches far better than typical camping plastics, and doesn't retain odours or flavours between uses. Tritan is FDA-approved for food contact, can withstand up to 350 dishwasher cycles compared to 150 for polycarbonate, and remains stable at temperatures up to 100°C without leaching chemicals.
Will these glasses break if dropped whilst camping?
The Travellife Lua Gin Glasses are designed to be virtually unbreakable under normal camping conditions. Tritan copolyester is highly impact-resistant and can withstand drops onto hard surfaces like concrete pitches or campervan floors that would shatter traditional glass. This makes them particularly suitable for caravans and motorhomes where glasses rattle during transit, or for outdoor use where accidents are more likely. They won't crack or chip from knocks, though extremely high impacts or deliberate force could potentially cause damage.
Do these glasses affect the taste of gin compared to real glass?
No, Tritan material does not impart any smell or taste to drinks, which is a significant advantage over cheaper plastics that can affect flavour. The material is chemically inert and FDA-approved for food contact, meaning it won't interact with the botanicals in your gin or the citrus oils from garnishes. Many users report that Tritan glasses provide the closest experience to drinking from real glass among all plastic alternatives, maintaining the full flavour profile of premium gins and tonic waters.
Are these glasses suitable for hot drinks as well?
Whilst the Travellife Lua Gin Glasses are heat resistant up to 100°C, they're not recommended for boiling hot drinks. They can handle warm beverages and hot water for cleaning, but prolonged exposure to near-boiling temperatures isn't advisable for maintaining the glass structure long-term. The balloon shape also isn't ideal for hot drinks as it lacks a handle for comfortable holding. These glasses are specifically designed for cold beverages like gin and tonic, cocktails, soft drinks and other chilled refreshments where their clarity and shape work best.
Can I stack these glasses inside my caravan cupboards?
Yes, the Travellife Lua Gin Glasses are designed to be stackable, which saves valuable cupboard space in caravans and motorhomes. The scratch-resistant properties of Tritan mean they won't damage each other when stacked, even during transit when your caravan is on the move. This stackability combined with their lightweight design makes them particularly practical for touring caravanners and motorhomers who need to maximise storage efficiency whilst still enjoying proper glassware.
How long do Tritan gin glasses typically last?
Tritan glassware can withstand up to 350 dishwasher cycles whilst maintaining clarity and structural integrity, significantly outlasting polycarbonate alternatives that typically manage only 150 cycles. With proper care, these glasses should last several years of regular camping and caravanning use. The scratch-resistant surface stays clear rather than becoming cloudy or marked like cheaper plastics. Because they're 100% recyclable, when they do eventually reach the end of their lifespan, they can be properly recycled rather than adding to landfill waste.
