Leakproof Salad Box with dressing container and icepack + drinks flask - where?

Can anyone help please?
I saw a lunchbox in TKMaxx some time ago but it wasn't leakproof, so is there such a thing in the UK to be had? I know in the US they might sell them. I've seen they do the coffee flask but not over here though. I don't want a normal Thermos type flask with a separate cup/lid for drinking out of, but a mouth opening, and one that keeps the coffee hot all day long ie. 6-8hrs. Any ideas anyone?
Btw, the dressing pot and icepack is essential as I tend to eat a lot of salads.

This might not be any use, but I've got this and it works ready well for salads.

I can recommend the West Loop. I also had the Lifesky - worked brilliantly but the colour all came off over time in the dishwasher - not that I minded though as I prefer the plain stainless steel finish. I bought my West Loop in stainless steel to start with. This is the one I prefer - the version with the Easy Clean lid.0 -
LadyDee: Are either suitable to be jostled about in a rucksack all day long as I would need it for work and I travel about on public transport doing my home visits? I wouldn't want to spend something that would leak because it was cheap as I'd rather spend upto £20ish to buy something leakproof.0

I have this. It keeps my green tea hot all day. Be careful though, the tea stays red hot for hours and you drink directly from the flask, so it's easy to burn your mouth !!

Absolutely. Especially I'd recommend the West Loop. Don't overfill or liquid tends to spurt out when you open the lid to drink, leave half an inch gap.
I make my coffee in a jug, wait til it gets to drinking temperature and then pour into the flask. It will still be drinking temp on the way home.0
