Run, Sip, Repeat: The SMMT Serpa Tumbler is Built for Life on the Go

It’s 2025, and let’s face it—most of us have at least one trusty drinking vessel we rely on daily. My wife? She’s all about her large, straw-equipped Stanley, which, let’s be real, has become an icon among women everywhere.

For me, though, I like to mix it up depending on the situation—travel, hiking, work, or just lounging at home. Recently, we stumbled upon a company out of my home state of Utah, SMMT (pronounced “Summit”), and I’ve got to say, their Serpa Tumbler has been a refreshing addition to my rotation.

The Look:

One of the first things that caught my eye was the design. The Serpa Tumbler has this cool mason jar vibe that stands out without being over the top. It’s a subtle, fun detail that’s drawn plenty of comments when I take it on the go. The lid has some intricate etching, and the powder-coated finish just screams “outdoor adventure.” It’s the kind of product that looks as good on your desk as it does at a campsite.

The Basics:

Of course, a tumbler needs to perform, and the Serpa delivers the essentials. Made from 18/8 kitchen-grade stainless steel, it’s vacuum-insulated to keep your drinks hot or cold for hours. Whether I’m sipping coffee on a frosty morning hike or enjoying iced water following some miles up in the hills, it’s held up beautifully. Bonus? It’s dishwasher safe, which is always a win in my book. I’m lazy – sue me.

The Extras:

What really sets Serpa Tumbler apart are the little touches that elevate it from “just another tumbler” to something genuinely innovative.

  • Dual-Function Lid: The stainless steel lid doubles as a coaster when removed, magnetically attaching to the bottom of the tumbler. It’s such a clever feature and surprisingly useful.
  • Secondary Sipping Lid: Beneath the main lid is a second, more compact lid designed for sipping on the go. It makes drinking while walking or driving much easier and mess-free.

These additions might exist somewhere in the tumbler world, but I haven’t seen them before, and they add a level of convenience I didn’t know I needed.

The Ethos:

Beyond the functionality and aesthetics, I love that SMMT is committed to giving back. They’re part of the 1% for the Planet initiative, supporting the Summit Land Conservancy. It’s always nice to know your purchase helps contribute to something bigger.

Final Thoughts

Sure, it’s a simple item at its core, but the SMMT Serpa Tumbler has been a fun, functional addition to keep me hydrated. Whether you’re an outdoors enthusiast or just someone who appreciates a well-designed product, it’s worth checking out.
