High Camp Firelight Flask 750

High Camp Flasks

I had the opportunity to try out an absolutely brilliant thermos flask over the last month or so, the High Camp Firelight 750. It has become a cherished item in my kit, one that I’m happy to give a big thumbs up to and recommend to anyone looking for a classy, functional, beautiful flask.

First off, this is the most visually appealing flask I’ve ever seen. It comes in a hard cardboard, magnetized flip box, encased in a soft velvet-like draw-string pouch. Before you actually have your hands on the flask itself you get the feeling that this is a high quality item that has had a lot of love and care put into its production. And once you open the bag and hold the Firelight, that feeling is only reinforced. It’s simply a gorgeous flask.

The design of the Firelight is superb. It comes in four color options: stainless steel, gunmetal, onyx, and copper. I got the copper flask and the color contrast of copper and steel (once the tumblers - or cups - are removed) is elegance personified. But every finish has the same impact. Arguably the sweetest part of the design are the magnetized detachable drinking cups at the top and bottom of the flask. These too are high quality drinking tumblers, big and sturdy enough to lend some gravitas to whatever occasion you may be toasting. Plus, it’s damn clever how the cups are attached to the flask. It’s seamless, sexy, ingenious and mighty handy to have two tumblers integrated with the flask itself.

The spout is elevated and large, making for easy filling and spill-proof pouring. It goes without saying that the Firelight keeps drinks cold. You can mix, for instance, a pitcher of Wisconsin Old Fashions, pour it into the Firelight, and the spout is large enough to easily allow you to add small ice cubes. I’m a bourbon and whiskey enthusiast and the Firelight holds a full 750ml of my favorite double rye. I’ll tell you, presentation means a lot, and drinking from this flask somehow makes the drinking taste better. 

I’ve got several flasks and vintage thermoses that have stood me well over the years. I’ll still rely on my old 50+ year-old dented Stanley for everyday coffee or tea. But when I’m on a road trip with my wife and we stop somewhere special, or when we’re camping and sitting around the campfire in the evening, and I want the experience to be extra special, I’ll bring the High Camp Firelight 750.

It’s not an inexpensive flask, but if you’re looking for an heirloom-quality flask this is it. High Camp Flasks also offers the Firelight in 375ml size, as well as several other flasks, tumblers, accessories and more. For me, High Camp has solved my Christmas gift problem. 

The only suggestion I might have made to High Camp is a suggestion I learned that they had already rectified. This flask demands a leather holster or carry rig. By golly, they’ve got you covered there as well. The Orox Leather Holster looks perfect. Now I just have to pick one of those up, and I’ll have the most badass flask on the planet.
