Well, after reading through this thread, and weighing up the options, I thought I’d pop into Morrison’s yesterday afternoon and have a shufti at the travel flask Stoner posted up. Looked good, only four squids against sixteen to twenty-odd, what’s to lose.
Tried it this morning, made up some tea in a jug, heated the flask and put the tea in, this at 7.40am.
Finished the last dregs, still quite warm, at 10.20am, made another, and that I finished, again last dregs, still warm enough to be drinkable, at 2.00pm! Most of the time the drink was too hot to do more than sip, thus lasting such a long time. Colour me bloody impressed!
Going to get another one, in fact I might get a couple, just in case, because at that price they’re a steal.
I did have a though re: fitting into a bike cage; get a large capacity water bottle, cut the top off, and stand the flask in the centre of the water bottle, and fill with expanding foam, then you could just pull the flask out of the bottle, leaving it secure when riding. Just a thought.
Great flask/travel mug, thanks for the heads-up, really chuffed with mine, thanks all!
