# Discreet Ski Pole Flasks The 'WhiSki Poles' Keep a Snifter of Your Fave Libation within Reach By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2018-02-13 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whiski-poles References: [thegadgetflow](https://thegadgetflow.com/portfolio/ski-pole-flask/) & [whiskipoles](https://www.whiskipoles.com/) The 'WhiSki Poles' are a professional piece of equipment that will work to provide users with high-quality gear to partake in winter sports at their leisure and keep a snifter of their favorite drink within reach at all times. The ski poles incorporate a hollow design that can be filled via the handle with up to eight ounces of your favorite liquor or drink. This makes it perfect for keeping a drink on hand for a quick drink after you've finished skiing to help you warm up when the temperature drops. The 'WhiSki Poles' seem like something of a gag product, but are actually crafted from premium alloy that make them ideal for professional skiers who are looking for a new way to perform. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Ski Gear Flasks:** Creating discreet flasks within traditional ski gear, opens up the possibility for other winter sports gear and equipment to incorporate practical flask features. - **Premium Sportswear Equipment:** By incorporating premium features within ordinary or everyday sports equipment can cater to professional athletes and enthusiasts who prioritize high-quality gear and equipment. - **Functional Fashion:** Combining practical features with everyday casual fashion items will make them more useful for users in different settings. ### Who This Affects Most - **Winter Sports:** Efficient and practical gear that satisfies skiers' social or recreational needs while skiing provides an opportunity for innovation and disruption. - **Beverages:** Developing and collaborating with brands to incorporate flask features in products such as water bottles and energy drink bottles that are more widely used among athletes and health-conscious people. - **Fashion:** Producing fashion items with practical features for everyday use and on-the-go activities, enhances the lifestyle of individuals and attracts a wider audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimalist Metallic EDC Flasks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corkcicle-cool-flask.md) - [Reusable Drink-Stirring Straws](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whiskee-straw.md) - [Insulated Music-Playing Flasks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vssl-insulated-flask.md) - [Travel-Ready Cocktail Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/high-camp-tumbler-set.md) - [Frozen Whiskey Pops](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whiskey-pops.md) - [Liquor Spirit Flight Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aged-ore-bottle-flight.md) - [Leakproof Adventurer Flasks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yeti-flask.md) - [Vibrant Rhubarb Pink Ski Poles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbie-pink-p1-ski-poles.md) - [Lightweight Outdoor Sake Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snow-peak-3.md)
