11 Best Hip Flasks (Review) In 2021

Sometimes, the simple things in life are the best. You don’t need hundreds of complicated features on a product that only has one job. The Top Shelf Stainless Steel Flask is all about simplicity. It’s an 8 oz flask made from high-quality food-grade stainless steel.

The quality of this flask is the main reason for buying it. It’s been laser-welded to ensure that it’s 100% leak-proof. This is backed up by a lifetime guarantee against defects. The screw-down top is attached to the top of the flask by a high-impact resin hinge. This makes it easy to open and close and prevents you from losing the lid. It also comes with a handy funnel, so you don’t spill any precious liquid when you’re filling it. This is an essential feature and most of the hip flasks on this list come with one. We also like the fact that the steel is extra thick – this keeps the liquid at the right temperature and is perfect for engraving. It would also make a nice Christmas gift for gentlemen in your life this year.

For the practical joker, how about a flask that says: ‘holy water’ on the front. We’re not sure if anyone’s going to believe that you’re actually drinking holy water, but you’re sure to get a few laughs out of it. Underneath the fun slogan, it’s a pretty standard hip flask. It holds 8 ounces of liquid, which is about four shot glasses full. You can actually test this yourself because this hip flask comes with two stainless steel shot glasses. It also comes with a funnel for easy pouring.

We really like the matte black finish on Holy Water Hip Flask. It offers something a little different to the standard stainless steel flasks that are so commonplace. We also like the fact that it comes in a presentation box, so you can give it as a gift. If we had one complaint, it’s that the paint comes off easily, but this doesn’t affect the performance of the flask itself.

If you’re going to drink on the go, it might as well be in style. This patriotic hip flask is wrapped in high-quality synthetic leather. It’s not animal leather, so you don’t have to feel guilty about using it. Instead, it’s a plastic-based material that’s much cheaper, cruelty-free, and just as durable.

You might have also noticed the American flag embossed into it. Unlike a lot of patriotic products, the flag is subtle and tasteful, which is one of the main reasons we’ve given it a place on this list. You can show that you love your country, without being too loud about it. Underneath the synthetic leather is a stainless steel flask, similar to the last two we’ve featured. If you’re not a fan of the leather wrap, you can buy OUTZIE American Flag Hip Flask in plain steel with the flag engraved into it. You may also like some of the best coffee thermoses from our list, so be sure to check them out.

Stanley is one of the biggest names in adventure equipment. In fact, they invented the first all-steel vacuum bottle in 1913, so they’ve had plenty of time to perfect the design. This hip flask is designed to be taken on everything from camping trips to serious mountain hikes, so always have it on your hiking and camping check list. It’s not your standard hip flask. It’s much more durable.

Stanley Adventure Flask is made from BPA-free 18/8-grade stainless steel. Then, it’s covered in hammer tone powder coating. This gives it another layer of protection against damage. We feel confident in telling you this is the best hip flask for adventures because it comes with Stanley’s Built For Life warranty. If at any point, the hip flask fails you, Stanley will replace it or refund your money. Other features include an integrated lanyard, a wide-mouth for easy filling, and a hinge for the cap. If you want a hip flask that can take a beating, this is the best one on the market.

The GENNISSY 304 Stainless Steel Flask is one of the best quality hip flasks on this list. Like the OUTZIE American Flag Flask, it’s covered in PU leather. This not only makes it look fantastic, but it also protects the stainless steel from getting scratched. A hip flask with a PU leather coating will last much longer than one without.

The feature that sets this hip flask apart is the cap. Inside the cap are three tiny shot cups, so you and your friends can enjoy a drink anywhere. This feature makes it probably the best flask for social events. The flask itself is laser-welded from stainless steel. It’s 100% leak-proof and comes in a high-quality gift box, which makes it perfect for Christmas or birthdays.

Next up, we’ve got another 8-ounce hip flask from My Trendy Kitchen. Like a couple of the other flasks we’ve featured, it’s covered in top-grade PU leather. The main difference is that this one comes in four different colors, which is pretty rare for hip flasks. If you’re conscious about your color-coordination, you can pick one that suits your outfit.

Like most other hip flasks around this price point, it’s made from food-grade stainless steel. Everything from the cap and hinge to the free funnel is stainless-steel, so there’s no unnecessary plastic in sight. One of the other main features of this hip flask is the flat bottom. It’s designed to sit on a flat surface, without falling over. This is different from a lot of hip flasks and it makes it easy to work with when you’re pouring out a drink. It also comes wrapped up in a classy gift box.

YWQ Hip Flask is slightly different from the rest. It’s still made from stainless steel, but it’s covered in a matte black finish. It might not look as traditional as a plain steel flask, but we think it looks great, especially with a dark suit. The cool thing about matte black as a wrap is that you can have it laser etched in gold. Whatever you decide to have engraved on the front will really stand out, making it perfect for groomsmen presents.

It comes with a stainless steel funnel and is tested to ensure that it’s 100% leakproof. Like most hip flasks, it’s made in China, but this one is tested in the US to ensure its quality. This is then covered by a ‘worry-free’ 2-year warranty. If you are buying this hip flask as a groomsman present, you can get a bulk deal if you buy six.

Zippo is much better-known for making lighters than hip flasks. But don’t rule them out just yet. They actually make a whole host of other metal products that carry the same level of quality as their iconic lighters. This Zippo Flask is a tiny 3-ounce flask that’s perfect for day trips. It doesn’t hold as much as most of the other flasks on this list, but the quality more than makes up for it.

Zippo Flask is made from the same food-grade stainless-steel, but it’s thicker than most other flasks. The body has a slightly curved shape, which makes it fit better in your hand. Plus, it has the Zippo logo debossed into the body, so everyone knows you’ve bought a quality product. We also love the fact that it’s small enough to take on a plane journey. You’re not technically allowed to drink from it, but you can still take it aboard.

If you think there’s no way you could improve the design of the hip flask, you’re about to be proven wrong. The QLL Hip Flask is one of the most innovative designs we’ve seen. Carved into the main body of the flask is a circular section that just looks like an aesthetic feature. Pull it out and you’ll find that it’s a collapsible shot glass, so you can drink anywhere without having to use the bottle. There’s one on each side and they’re both covered in the same grippy material as the rest of the flask, so it’s almost impossible to notice. The only downside is that they’re tricky to get out, but it’s not too hard once you get the knack for it.

This is an 8-ounce flask (like most others) but because of the space taken by the shot glasses, it’s much bigger than normal 8-ounce flasks. Because of that, it’s not great for sneaking booze into nightclubs or sporting events. We’d recommend it more for parties and places you’re allowed to take alcohol. We were also amazed by the fact that it comes with a 10-year warranty. No other hip flasks at this price can compete with that.

If you’re using your hip flask to sneak booze in somewhere, you need to make sure it’s labeled in a clandestine way. This hip flask has the words: “DEFINITELY NOT A FLASK FULL OF BOOZE” written on the front, so people are in no doubt that it’s something innocent, like water. In all seriousness, this is probably the least cunning hip flask on the market, but it is funny.

At 6-ounces, it’s a little smaller than your standard hip flask, but it can still hold a couple of shots worth of alcohol. It’s also made of high-quality, food-grade stainless steel. If we have one complaint, it’s that it doesn’t come with a funnel, so you have to be super careful when you’re filling it.

On the face of it, this hip flask looks just like any other standard 8-ounce, stainless-steel hip flask. The difference is that it carries the Coleman brand name. Coleman is associated with making some of the best camping and adventure equipment on the market, like coolers for camping, so you know you’ll be able to trust in this flask.

Like the Zippo flask, Coleman Flask is made from stainless steel and has a slightly curved body, which makes it really easy to hold while you’re drinking. One of our favorite features of this flask is the brushed finish. Instead of just plain stainless steel, it has a brushed pattern, which reduces the appearance of scratches and dents. It could only be made better if they included a free funnel with it. You will have to find another way to fill it without spilling alcohol everywhere.
