Can anyone recommend a good hip flask?

For a flask that’s actually going to be used in the field, rather than given as an ornamental 18th-birthday present, what should one be looking for?

Ta!

I have a Jamesons one and the STW one. Both are pretty good in my opinion. I keep them in my bag mind rather than in a Aherne cage.

GF been looking recently. Plenty online at varying prices. Amazon do one.

Found the Surly/Ahearne ones via a google search, as you reminded me I fancy one for those cold night rides.

As I just want one to hold drink and not a “look at me” item, would anyone recommend anything larger than a 6oz or a cheap ebay chinese one?

I bought a cheap one off the bay, I know I should tar them all with the same brush, but it was a bit crap, the cottony stuuf in the cap came out into the whiskey and it leaked. Wasn’t impressed.

The Surly ones are good a lad I ride with occasionally uses his.

I got mine from here,(but can’t see it)

Make sure it has a ‘captive’ top. Most any of them are fine – no need to spend daft money on a branded cyclist one – Surly make bikes and STW make magazines – not hip flasks!

I do have a Surly for sale brand new still in the box. It was a 50th birthday present but I already have one. £15 posted if anybody interested. Email in profile.

I’v got one for sale. My Wife bought it for me.

Its got the freemasons insignia engraved on it, and the inscription
“together forever”

She got a bit confused when ordering it. Its Unused and still in the box. I hope someday to find someone who is a freemason who wants to be with them forever.

Blackhound – interested but cannot find your email on profile. 🙁

dazzlingboy – it is kevin DOT cunniffe AT gmail DOT com

Will go and check, thought it was on profile.

why not just become a digital premier member of STW and get a free STW Hip Flask ?

I bought a Jack Daniels one complete with 2 metal shot containers.
It is good quality and was reduced from £30 to £9!
