Stanley Easy Fill Flask Review: A Good Chairlift Gift?
A flat backed steel flask with a wide mouth and a cap that cannot get lost. The classic last-run toast gift, and what a flask is not good for.
Yes, for adult skiers who like a toast at the top of the last run. It is rugged 18/8 steel with a hinged cap that stays on [1], backed by a lifetime warranty [1]. Skip it for anyone who does not drink, or for warm drinks, since a flask is not insulated.

Pros and cons
- Not insulated, it holds drinks at air temperature
- Only for adults who drink
- Steel gets cold to the touch
A toast at the top
Plenty of ski groups have a ritual: one sip at the top before the last run. The Stanley Easy Fill Flask is made for an inside jacket pocket, with a flat back and an 8 oz capacity [1].
Thin tin flasks from the gift shop dent and leak. This one is 18/8 stainless steel and rust proof [1].
The wide mouth and the cap
Most flasks need a funnel. The Easy Fill has a wide mouth that makes filling, pouring and cleaning easy [1]. The cap is connected by a hinge and an integrated lanyard, so it cannot drop off the chairlift [1].
Stanley backs it with a lifetime warranty [1].
Not for cocoa
A flask is not a thermos. It keeps a drink at whatever temperature the jacket is, so it is not for hot cocoa or coffee. For warm drinks, the Stanley Heritage Classic bottle in this guide is the right gift.
It is also, plainly, an adult gift.
An après pairing
Pair the flask with the Carhartt beanie for the lodge for a small après gift. A bottle of their favorite spirit makes it complete.
For a family skier who does not drink, give the Stanley vacuum bottle instead.
FAQ
Is the Stanley flask leakproof?
The listing says the Stanley Easy Fill Flask has a wide mouth that is leak proof and a hinge-connected cap that always stays covered to avoid leaks [1]. Close the cap firmly and keep it upright in a pocket for the best result [1]
