Plus, I live in SoCal so it never gets super cold here. Oh, wait, you do too, so you know how that is!

I stopped by starbuck on my way in and looked at one of those. It didn't appear to be a vacuum bottle like the kanagroo thing in the link at top. I really am looking for something that will keep the stuff inside hot for 20-45 minutes of 40 degree air cooling at 15-20 mph. Those Starbucks ones don't look that much better insulated than the 7-Eleven cup I've been using. They look like they wouldn't leak less. I would use the steel flask with the solid screw cap. I'm pretty decided on getting it. For twenty + bucks I hope it's good. I'll report back

since the metal transports the heat so well but hey it's Lighter
I'm not too concerned about the weight since I can still drop the weight of twenty of those things off my own arse.
