(More customer reviews)I had been waiting for a competitor to Bodum for double-walled glasses for a while now. Since this product advertised "strong" as a marketing tag, I thought it'd be worthwhile to try it out. However, this review isn't about the durability (yet) because I had owned the set for only a few days now.
If you're inclined to buy a pair of these glasses as gifts, be sure to buy two pairs. This is because the production quality appears quite inconsistent. My tallest glass is a whole centimeter taller than my shortest, and that's not mentioning the difference of heights between the inner and outer layers. One of my glasses does not have a perfectly level bottom, so it jiggles a little against the counter. If you're going to keep pairs or give them away, be sure to match the glasses closest in height and internal volume.
About internal volume - these are NOT 13 oz. They actually hold between 9-10 oz, closer to 8 oz comfortably. That's a cup. The 13 oz may refer to the outer layer.
Because of the thickness of the walls and distance between the layers, the lip is a bit thick as well. That's just a minor detail (it's easier to drink from a thinner glass lip).
In terms of insulation quality, they will hold cold milk well without sweating on the outside, but you will still feel the outer surface get cool, which is expected.
I'll add more later in terms of durability as I see fit, but the glasses seem sturdy enough. They remind me a great deal of lab beakers, actually.
Update 8/13: One of my glasses broke. A roughly 1-cm shard of glass was floating around between the walls and water got in during dishwashing. Judging by the location of the break (inside bottom "edge" of glass), I think someone dropped a heavy utensil like a butter knife into it while it was in the sink, causing the breakage. I don't know how that would translate into their "ice cube drop" test, but there you go.
