Vacuum Flasks

[simon.r]

I read a review recently of a new flask (I think it was literally a vacuum flask, as opposed to just insulated) that would keep drinks hot / cold for several hours with very little change in temperature. It may or may not have beeen designed to fit in a standard bottle cage. From memory it was about £25.

Unfortunately I didn’t make a note of the name and my Google skills aren’t up to the job.

Can anyone help? Or if I imagined it, any recommendations for bike friendly flasks that work well?

Thanks.

Aladdin Adveturer, or check Wilkos.

Seven hours isn't that long though.

I wonder if it's the same one my mate bought? I remember having a conversation with him about it, and he was singing it's praises.
He was telling me how great it was, because "it keeps hot things hot; and cold things cold".
As he was showing it to me, I asked him what he had in it. "Some of the wife's chicken soup; and a choc-ice" was the reply .

I've got this and it's brilliant, clips onto my bag. It's a coffee cup, but the lid is totally waterproof It keeps coffee hit for hours. Unfortunately it seems to be no longer available in the UK. That link is NZ. Worth keeping an eye out for. It's on amazon too, but unavailable.

Dual storage.

Stanley flasks are the varsity, although bottle cage compatibility is absent. Still and all, if you're carrying panniers they're otherwise the finest flasks you can buy.

I bought the missus a Sigg flask a while back and it's really good. I doubt that it's cage compatible, but they might do one that is.

Or use this cage and add your thermos flask of choice:
