Caravanya tests: silwy - magnetic glasses

With their magnetic drinking glasses, silwy promises: No more broken and clinking glasses on the way to the next pitch. We put it to the test for you!

Silwy's key to success is based on magnetism. The integrated magnet in the products (in the drinking glasses and hooks/pins) interacts with its counterpart in the pads, the metal bar, or the large metal nano-gel mat. The strength of the magnetic force is always determined by the metallic accessories, for example, the solid metalcore in the bar or the metal foil in the metal nano-gel pads and mat.

In silwy magnetic drinkware, the magnets are integrated directly into the base. It is visible, but there are no unsightly edges. With the magnetic system for hooks and pins, the magnets are integrated into the elements.

The processing of silwy products is very high quality. Especially the wine glass made of crystal glass feels great and makes an elegant impression. The long drink glasses and drinking cups have a modern look and are perfect camping equipment due to their scratch-resistant material. The lid of the drinking cup fits very tight, which could especially inspire campers with children on board. We are also impressed by the leather look of the pads.

But now for the endurance test: The silwy magnetic drinking glasses deliver what they promise, as you can see in our test video. While everything else moved around in the caravan on the bumpy road, the magnetic drinking glasses and the liquid stayed in place. The pads will stick on just about any surface. Another plus is the longevity of the adhesion. The magnets retain their attractive forces forever, and if the underside of the flexibly placeable metal nano-gel pads no longer sticks, all you have to do is wash them off with clean water. Then they are like new again.
