Hello dear ULemmings,

I’m looking for a thermos (UL, of course) and for some reason I don’t know where to start at all.

Maybe it would be nice to have a cup that I drink of.

What are some important features to look in a thermos? What should be avoided? What system do you prefer (screw / click mechanism / something g else)?

    I’ve never done a thermos on a hike, although maybe I will start for winter. I would recommend a cup to drink out of, because otherwise you run the possibility of burning yourself on too-hot liquid. However, if you already have an insulated cup, you could get away with a simpler thermos.

    How much volume do you want? How long do you want it to be warm? What is the use case (liquid only, or chunky soup)? A travel coffee container might be sufficient.
