no doubt, it's the best thermos

On: 2008-03-04

After buying a number of cheaper insulated containers for both my wife and me, I finally bought one of these as a gift for her. She absolutely loves it. It definitely keeps hot liquids hot for at least 8 hours. She raved about it so much that I bought one for myself. Its the best thermos Ive ever owned...no exaggeration. Its durable, compact and exceeds the specs it states for hot liquids. I highly recommend this product.

Tough, and Doesn't Leak

On: 2007-07-14

I am a big fans of these, I carry it everywhere. I drop it periodically, and I was worried I might not be able to buy a replacement the day I finally destroy it. So happy it is still available. I might buy another just to have a spare.

Like any thermos, it keeps drinks hot. No surprise.

What is really great are two features:

1. If you close it, and flip the wire latch, it will not leak. Throw it in your bag with your laptop, passport, phone, etc., and dont worry.

2. It is easy to open and close one handed.

Those are great features.

One catch (common to any bare stainless steel product) if you are drinking coffee while waiting for the bus on a cold winter morning, someplace up north, the stainless steel is cold to hold in a bare hand. My solution is a tube of polartec that was sold as a wrist warmer (the thumb hole isnt used in this application).

Highly recommended.

The greatest travel mug!

I love this mug! It really keeps cold stuff cold and hot stuff hot. I really love the fact that it doesnt get condensation, and it really is leak-proof. The lack of a handle is good because it more easily fits int the corner of my shoulder bag. Im thinking about buying it to give as a gift.

Cunningly designed

I just ordered my second backpack bottle (they really mean it when they say not to put in the dishwasher, but even so, it lasted for about three years). A great combination of leak-proof and insulation, along with a clever push-button flip-top that makes it easy to sip one-handed from the car. The bottle is so water-tight that I routinely put it in my briefcase--the clip-on fastener assures it wont come loose. And while I havent measured the temperature loss, liquids almost certainly stay wamer longer than on any insulated mug, because no mug seals quite this tightly.

I couldnt find a mention of this product on the Thermos website....and if they discontinued it, that would be a shame. On the other hand, youll be drinking from a soon-to-be collectors item.
