Two for the Road: Mobile Drinking Gear from NiteIze and Hydro Flask
Camping, road-tripping, picnicking… there’s always an excuse to take your favorite tipple on the road. Here are a couple of gadgets designed to make that easier.
Nite Ize makes a series of safety-oriented products, including this bunch of unique bottle openers. The S-Biner series is a carabiner and bottle opener in one. Designs vary, from the simple S-Biner Ahhh carabiner with an opener built in to each side, to the KeyRack+, which has six tiny carabiners attached to its base, to the S-Biner GetLit, which has a heavy duty, rubberized LED built into it. It’s perfect for those moments when you desperately need assistance in the dark, but also have a beer handy. Under $10 each. niteize.com
Hydro Flask recognizes that everyone loves reusable steel water bottles but recognizes that the typical 12 oz.-sized bottle won’t get you very far on your camping trip. The Hydro Flask Growler packs a full 64 oz. of whatever heals ya into its belly, and the vacuum-insulated body means it helps to keep your beer cold, your toddy hot, or your Pinot at a perfect 58 degrees. The wide mouth makes filling (and emptying) easy. $50 hydroflask.com
