Hip Flask Zippo model 2.005.268 – polished stainless steel, 177 ml capacity

Zippo hip flask model 2.005.268 is a polished stainless steel flask with a 177 ml capacity designed to carry spirits discreetly. The corrosion-resistant stainless-steel body provides a smooth, reflective finish and a slim profile that fits into pockets or small compartments. A screw-cap closure with a hinged cap prevents loss of the lid while ensuring a tight seal to reduce leakage during transport. This travel accessory is intended for personal use at outdoor events, travel, and as a compact gift option.

Advantages

The polished stainless-steel construction offers durability and resistance to rust while maintaining an easy-to-clean surface. The 177 ml capacity balances portability with sufficient volume for several servings. The screw-cap with hinge secures the closure and reduces the risk of misplacing the cap. The slim, flat design is intended to slide into pockets or bags without adding significant bulk.

Suitable for

• Carrying a small quantity of spirits while traveling or camping
• Discreet transport of beverages to outdoor events or social gatherings
• Compact gifting for friends or colleagues
• Keeping in a coat pocket or small bag for occasional use

When it may not be suitable

This hip flask is designed for carrying spirits in small amounts and is not intended for long-term storage of beverages. Carbonated drinks and acidic liquids may compromise the seal or affect flavor over time and are not recommended. The polished finish can show scratches and fingerprints with regular use, so it may not be ideal where a matte or rugged appearance is preferred.

How to use

To fill the flask, unscrew the hinged cap and pour liquid slowly into the opening, using a funnel if available to minimize spills.

Dry thoroughly before refilling or storing to minimize moisture and residue buildup.

What to consider before purchase

• Care requirements: polished surface may require occasional polishing to remove fingerprints and minor scratches
• Capacity suitability: 177 ml may be more than needed for single use or too little for group sharing

Usage recommendations

Rinse the flask with warm water after each use and allow it to air dry before storing. Use a small funnel when filling to reduce spills, and avoid storing liquids for extended periods to preserve flavor and prevent corrosion. For maintaining the polished look, wipe with a soft cloth and, if necessary, use a stainless-steel polish following the manufacturer’s instructions.
