Vintage Flask by SIGG

There's just something about a good flask. It's nostalgic. It's iconic. It says that you fondly remember either the 50's or your days as a Boy Scout. It's worth its weight in platinum if it happens to be filled with something potable when you realize you are half a day's ride from the nearest watering hole.

All the better if said flask can boast (and I quote SIGG here) that it is:

...a lightweight, durable, eco-friendly, leak-proof water bottle in a subtly, sophisticated style. Extruded from a single piece of aluminum and coated with a patented secret formula liner, this water bottle will not leach anything harmful into your beverage. It will not give your beverage any plastic taste or overtone...

I don't know about you, but when I'm about to keel over from thirst the very last thing I want is water that tastes like pureed cling wrap.

Seriously, though, we're big fans of good design here at DS2 and this flask from SIGG is .4 L (13.5 ounces) of smooth form and solid function. At $27.99 the SIGG Vintage Flask easily passes our 1 point quality review* (and there's nothing at all wrong with a company that is literally founded on the idea of re-use.

*The DS2 1 Point Quality Review: Simply put, do you get what you pay for, does the quality of the product match the cash you threw at it. More on this later.
