It has to be one of the most frustrating thing on the hills, to carry a cold metallic flask in your hand, which never holds 'enough', and weighs much more 'empty' than you want it to. Until now that is!

We have made a special order for a few boxes of these little beauties from the US, and are introducing them to the appreciative UK audience who have been looking for a solution to that particular problem.

Capacity 350ml, and it has 50ml markers on the side of the bottle. Which is useful for fairness of course!

The bottle is made up of three parts. A lightweight bottle and (standard Nalgene thread) screw cap weight 53g. A plastic 30ml shot glass, weight 8g and the thicker blue outer casing at 60g, to add extra protection should you need it.

BPA free too of course.

Of course, there's the obvious liquid use for this. However some people have suggested also using it for Meths, as it will store easier in the pack, yes we were horrified also!
 

This is Hydration at its hippest!

Specifications:

  • Contains 12 ounces (350 ml)
  • Features one-ounce (30ml) cap
  • Fits easily into bags and packs
  • Provides long-term storage solutions
  • Includes durable insulation sleeve
  • Prevents plastic taste and odor
  • BPA free

Weight: Bottle - 53g, Shot Glass - 8g, Cover - 60g = Total 121g

How does it compare to the Lexan Flask?
Capacity: Nalgene 12 fl oz - Lexan 10 fl oz
Weight: Nalgene 121g - Lexan 116g
Dimensions: Nalgene 200mm x 100mm - Lexan 180mm x 95mm

Main features:
Nalgene:
Bottle, cap, shot glass, insulating sleeve, 50ml measure markers - Clear, blue sleeve, blue cap
Lexan: Bottle and cap - Clear and black cap

Conclusion: They both sit very well in the hand and slide into the pack perfectly. Hard to make a choice apart from this one holding more ;-))

Hip Flask

Good sized hipflask, comes with shot measure & outer sleeve which I think is not needed as the flask is pretty sturdy. Would recommend

Nice and light

Nice product, arrived quickly and holds enough, which is always good. Bought another as a gift I was so impressed.

Message in a (plastic) bottle
11 August 2017  | 

It's a large 'hip flask', presumably for people with a large hollow in their hip! It is tougher than the more usual metal ones in that it bounces back into shape whereas the metal ones will squash in the end and thus contain much less of the splendid liquid. The blue (?) sleeve might make it a little tougher, and it might help with insulation in the very short term (sitting in your pack all day it will get hot or cold anyway, nothing will prevent that) and the shot glass sized lid cover may or may not be more or less useful, but the whole package is rather neat anyway! Why not get one?

Best Flask for a serious backpack
11 October 2016  | 

I've had 2 of these for over 3 years, and even with abuse, they are in tip top condition. Very robust. Actually, very very robust. Mine have done some serious miles. If I could only buy one flask, this would be it.

Fabulous Flask
23 September 2016  | 

Well made and doesn't leak. Some thought gone into the design with a protective cover, separate cap and top. Chose the 12 fl oz version which would probably keep Gazza happy over a weekend!
Great service from backpackinglight!

Tidy, practical and very handy. It survived the festival and proved a very useful piece of kit on a glass-free site,

200-250 gram Weight saving!
08 May 2014  | 

For the puritans where every ounce counts...

35cl (350ml) Glass bottle full of Famous Grouse = 650 grams
Hip flask (full of above Scotch) with sleeve = 450 grams
Hip flask (full of above Scotch) without sleeve = 400 grams

For a bottle that doesn't spoil the taste (I love all the Nalgene bottles) you get between 200-250 gram weight saving without having to worry about broken glass.

As I don't drink all of this myself, I can always lower the weight of my pack by getting my mate to put it in his bag
