4. Flask;

5. Bung;

6. Pneumopump

A large volume and construction with a wide neck or a universal stopper is ideal for a home. For hiking it is better to pay attention to compact models of small dimensions.

Body material

It depends on the material of the case how long the thermos can hold the temperature of the product. The material can be used:

1. Plastic;

2. Metal.

Inner bulb material

The internal flask can be made of three materials:

1. Glass;

2. Plastic;

3. Metal.

If you choose, it is better to purchase a model with an inner bulb made of glass. It retains heat better, does not absorb the smell of liquid and does not change it, but it is very fragile. This is one of the reasons why it is better to take a hike with a metal flask, though it is often necessary to wash it, remove rust and add weight to the product. Plastic is brittle and often bursts faster than a glass flask.

Bung

In the design of the tube may be a valve or it will not. Thermoses with valves are convenient in operation and do not allow heat to evaporate each time you open the lid. The blind plug shows good tightness, but only until it is required to be removed. Heat can be retained if the top cover is tightly screwed.
