We happen to know a fair few hip flask users so we've got some strong opinion on what makes the best kind. The travelling cups are a hard yes. The funnel in this set makes it easier to pour cleanly and share the benefits of your stellar preparedness when you're in transit with friends. Other hip flasks have the cups fitting over the lid, but that means a cylindrical flask and those can be bulky in a coat pocket, so the more traditional shape gives the carrier optimal versatility. Finally, the real leather wrap around the stainless still gives this model a premium finish.
