Napier Stainless Steel Vacuum Flasks

Every hunter knows (or should know) the benefits of having access to a warm drink in winter and equally a cold one in summer. There are many makes of ‘cheap’ Vacuum flasks on the market but more often than not they soon show why they’re ‘bargainbasement’, due to their poor heat retention properties or ease of breakage. This is why Napier of London have re-introduced the flasks they discontinued quite some time back but thankfully they’re now back on the roster and slightly up-graded.

Napier flasks are made from stainless steel inside and out and are true vacuum vessels, they use no foam or glass and are virtually unbreakable. They’re rated as being able to provide optimum heat retention capability for over 24 hours. Very solidly built, Napier flasks conform to BS 6672 and carry a full five-year guarantee and come in two sizes; 500ml and 1L.

Use protection

The next product perfectly complements and, in my opinion, completes your ‘drink kit’, because as good as these flasks are, the shiny finish gives off quarry-alerting shine. Napier took this on-board and came up with the what I feel are the perfect solution for transporting any flask, these being the Insu-Cases. Not only do they ‘camouflage’ your flask but they also afford it extra insulation.

Manufactured from Hushtex, which a soft, strong, washable and quiet material is (this also being insulated) and comes in the popular camo pattern of Advantage® Timber™. Each case comes supplied with a removable shoulder strap, carrying/pouring handle and has a heavy-duty zip top closure. Also, should you be transporting a ‘fatty’ of a flask or soft drink bottle, the clever elasticated back panel allows additional expansion of up to 1-inch. The Insu-case is a practical, stylish and ideal solution for transporting, protecting and insulating any usual drink container be it flask or bottle.

The two models were obviously designed for Napier’s flasks but are suitable for carrying most other popular brands of a similar size. The small version measures 10.5- x 3.5-inches and holds flasks from 300ml to 750ml, while its larger relative measures 13- x 4.25-inches, so will easily take the 1L model and, due to the elasticated back panel design, will even hold a standard 2L soft drink or water bottle.
