Flask preference?

[Rat Finkenstein]

When in the out of doors, what flask is best?
I just got and filled this one
http://www.sunnysports.com/prod/GSILF10.html?ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=GSILF10
But I have yet to try it out.

I used to have one of the cheapo small mouth stainless models but it was hard to fill, and impossible to clean.

Maybe I should have gotten the 19oz model

If you use potent enough spirits in a flask then you don't need to clean it....ever

Sounds like Everclear is the multi purpsoe Flask cleaner/ Spirits that solves both issues, Looks like a decent flask

I'll have to go with this one:

My pockets are a little smaller, so I've been known to carry this (not in any wildernesses, though):

Medium Blomus Flask

I'll have to go with this one:

now we are talking- Midget porters to carry my beverages! :thumbup:

That blomus one looks nice.


and as far as cleaning goes, having bourbon in my flask led to some sediment and crud within. I suppose everclear would not leave crud, but who wants to drink that?

I have the Blomus - it's a good one. Some that advertise as "stainless" still have the iron leach out of them with strong spirits - this hasn't happened with the Blomus. It's one downfall is that the neck is REALLY narrow. You definitely need a flask funnel for this one.

Your choice looks good to me. Nalgene and Stanley put out flasks as well.

The nalgene looks nice, as does the Stanley The Stanley would match my thermos. Seems to me a small collection of flasks is in order.

I have the Sigg flask and have been very happy with it so far.

Ditto
If you can find it Sigg has a version that comes with a nestled cup that holds about a third of the flask.

 

[Rat Finkenstein]

how many ounces does the sigg hold? Looks sweet.

 

[Rat Finkenstein]

Nevemind- I found it. just over 20 oz, that's a winner for sure.

I found my flask and the flask/cup set at Whole Foods so that'd be a good place to check if you've got one nearby.

I think REI carries them from time to time too.

Not sure about flasks but I will say that sunnysports company is bada$$. I just bought about $700 worth of camping stuff from them and they were cheaper than 98% of other sites. I did have to do a search to make sure they were a legit company. I ordered my stuff on a tuesday and it was on my porch on friday. As far as flasks go, whatever doesn't spill my drink works for me.
