Wasn't sure where to put this topic but I'm looking at food flasks for the Chap for chrimble as he works outside. The 2 finalists I've settled on are the Thermos Thermax King Food Flask and the Stanley Classic Food Jar. They're much of a muchness in price - just wondering if anyone has personal experience of either? Or possibly any others but it's taken me a while to narrow it down this far!!

All I'd say is go for glass or stainless steel, I got one a few years ago, that was plastic inside ( a nice wide mouthed one for chunky stews etc) - I got it because I'm clumsy and thought it would last longer - however, it did not keep stuff hot from breakfast time to lunchtime - by the time I had my lunch, it was lukewarm at best.

I know nothing about them, but my friend tells me that Stanley is a very good make. The reviews are good. Hope this helps.

Thanks both.
Danast - whilst researching this there was a story I happened upon where a trucker had to slam on his brakes and the Stanley flask broke his windscreen. His soup was ok though!! 
Terrier - they're both all steel as Chap's a builder so I figured glass may not be the best idea; just torn between the 2. Love the colour of the Thermos but that's me being a girl I guess!

The're not gamekeeper proof 'Where's your new flask Ken ?' "Broke it" 'You can't break stainless steel ' "You can if it falls off the tractor and goes through the swipe !" Mine has survived about 15 years dented but unbowed. 
Hats aren't swipe proof either , but neither was the swipe keeper proof.
