Most insulated flasks have plastic built into the body or worse, inside of the lid - not this one! Plastics can leach hormone disrupting and other chemicals into food. How happy we are to launch this flask with body and lid made entirely of high-quality rust-proof stainless steel. This thermal container is a delight for carrying soups, chili, hot cocoa, miso, hot rum toddies and so much more! Note that there is a high quality, thin silicone seal in the lid to keep it leak-proof and backpack safe.

*If your flask says "SUS 316" in the lid, this means that you received one of the random few lids that are made with 316 stainless steel instead of 304. Please rest assured that this is just as high quality and rustproof as the usual 304 lids.

I bought 2 of these and they work perfectly. Keeps soup hot and ice cold almond milk cold. Only thing I've noticed, and it by no means effects performance, is that the grove where the handle is attached, collects with water, after washings. You need to turn the lid sideways and jiggle the handle a bit, to let the water out. Other than that, it's really well made, to last.
I got this for my teenaged son for his school lunches...mostly soups. It keeps them nice and hot until lunchtime and he likes the simple design and handle. Only downside is that it can sometimes leak, so we always do a "leak check" before it leaves the kitchen...sometimes having to rinse the silicone seal inside the lid and re-seat it before tightening the lid again. I think that you need to be able to order replacement seals for the lid, because you need to separate the ring to thoroughly clean the lid and I just know one of these days we're going to lose the ring while it's drying out. Also, be aware that water can get into the lid where the handle meets it, so don't immerse it in water for too long. A nice thermos...with a few tweaks it would get 5 stars from us! Hi Becky! Thank you so much for the feedback! Sometimes the fit of the lid can affect the seal so great idea to do a leak check and re-fasten the lid until you get that airtight fit. Definitely great input about the lid and the replacement ring that we will keep in mind for the future as we always strive to bring the best plastic-free products forward. Thanks so much!
