Can anyone recommend a good flask,wiling to spend about 40 pound for a good one,something that holds about 4 standard cupfulls,sick of drinking cold tea,ps in Millets tody that 40 percent sale is gear,even managed to get a little extra off with my mountaineering ireland membership

I have this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001F514W2/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_2?pf_rd_p=103612307&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B003GIS4RY&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=11G89HRTPMYD48GCNP9M. I used it in work when i was on the late shift. Filled it about 1pm and had a cup at of tea at 3pm then the next one wasn't till 10pm and the water was still piping hot. The next day even the dribble that was left was still warm.

I have a Primus flask from blacks. Amazing. Used it on Kilimanjaro with temps down to -20c and still boiling.

i use the thermos flask from argos, tea still hot at the end of a long walk, which is handy as i usually forgot to put the flask in the rucksack  ::)

I use one of the wide food flasks, so i can carry some veggie stew when i'm out for a hike and also last thing at night if i'm camping, fill it up with hot water and oats and in the morning, instant breakfast.

John went in to Millets and was sold a Thermos flask, they told him it will keep his tea hot all day, or if he puts some thing cold in the flask it will stay cold all day. Next day in the Mournes he gets his flask out, his mates ask him what is it? he replies it will keep my tea hot all day, or if I put some thing cold in it will stay cold all day. ok they replied what have you got in your flask today? to this John replies two cups of tea and an ice cream

Have only used this once so far,so i thought i'd give it a wee test to see how hot it keeps the water after 6 hours in a fridge at 3/4 degrees C .Would like to think i could have a nice boiling cup of tea after six hours.

Can't seem to paste flickr link for video,anyway water was boiling hot after 9 hour's at 4 degree's,so great value for money as the RRP on this flask was twenty quid,but Berghaus had a promotion on them at half price,so down to a tenner,then Millets had Fourty percent off ,so down to six quid,i then asked the shop assistant to discount me further with my MI card,he laughed and asked me did i want paid to take it.So a great flask for the grand price of six quid

6 quid well spent by the looks of it!
