Ok, regarding the vacuum flasks...
I'll post some pictures tonight...
BUT... I'm a little disappointed to find that the reason they 'fit in cycling bottle cages' is because they're slightly smaller than a cycling bottle... So yes, they go in the cage, but they then rattle around in it. :(
This isn't what I was led to believe.
The flasks themselves are really nice. They've got a kind of matt black 'stone' finish, with the gloss black caps and logo.
I tested one out, and after 8 hours the water inside was still plenty hot, and I reckon it could go a bit longer and still be hot enough to qualify as a 'hot drink'.
I'm still waiting for a reply to my email regarding the tea infuser and whether the flip spout sports cap version is fine with hot liquids.
The only thing I'm disappointed with as I said is that they don't fit tightly in a bottle cage.
So I guess the question will be how many of you will still want one in light of this.
Obviously if you're carrying it in a bag or pouch etc, it's not an issue.
Let me know what you think.
