Bush Smarts Lightweight Classic Flask
$12; bushsmarts.com
This oh-so-retro hip flask (holds 11 ounces) screams John Muir-meets-Charles Bukowski. Sure, you could clip it to your waist and use it to carry your water but, really, using a hip flask for anything other than whiskey is a waste of a stylish accessory. Remember, drink and hike responsibly.
