As Winter sets in and the famous wet Cape weather rolls across the Cape Peninsula, its time to gear up for the cold! I have taken to carrying a flask of something hot with me!
The “Hurricane” flask comes in 500ml and 1L sizes, in a range of colors. They are solid metal construction so will not smash easily like a conventional Thermos flask. The smaller flask weighs in at 350g and the larger at 550g – so this is not an option if you are packing light! The small flask holds two decent mugs of liquid. The cap is a bit small, so although I guess you could use it as a cup, I generally carry a plastic mug with me.
You can purchase them from your local Pick ‘n’ Pay for under R100.


where can i get my hands on the 500ml stainless steel flasks – i need lots. about 20??
I have only seen these flasks stocked at Pick’n'Pay – have you asked them?
Good day
I am looking for a replacement cap for a 1.5L Hurricane Thermos Jug? The closing mechanism just perished and it is now of no use.
Do you know where I can get hold of one. I am in the Bellville area (Cape Town).
Thanks
I don’t know of anyone selling parts. I am pretty sure your best bet is to buy a new flask.
