I’ll start by saying that I can’t compare this to the more expensive versions as I’ve never used them. But at the same time I can’t believe they are doing anything better than this. Remember flasks have been around for a long long time and this is basically just a flask. I reckon you’re paying for the name on some of the others.

Anyway onto this. I use this mainly for cold drinks in the garden. It does say not to put fizzy drinks inside it but I’d imagine that’s the case for any flask. I am using it for fizzy drinks so when I screw the lid on tight it then pops off like a champagne bottle when I undo it. I now just lightly screw it on or just place it on top when I’m in the garden. Even though the lid isn’t on properly it still keeps my drinks cold. Now I’m not leaving it there all day as I’m just wanting a cold drink to stay cold in the blazing sun for the hour or so I have it next to me. The bottle does get hot to touch but then the drink is still cold.

When I’m out walking I’ll keep just cold water inside and it does the same job. Keeps cold the whole time I’m out.

As for hot drinks I can’t say whether it would keep a drink hot for the 6 hours or so that it states but I don’t know who is keeping a drink for 6 hours. Maybe if it’s to take out and just keep for later but most people are on the go and using these on the go.

I can’t fault it really. I’ve just ordered a 2nd bottle that was listed as used like new. I know how amazon works so it will basically be brand new. I’ll make sure I wash that one more than the new one I got but gor 6 I’m over the moon.

Not had it long enough to say how the colour will last or if it will chip off easy but for the price I don’t care.
