water flask

Drink vessel, portable

A water flask is a portable container for carrying drinking water, typically made of metal, plastic, or glass and designed to be carried on one's person or in a bag.

The term emphasizes the container's purpose rather than its material: She filled her water flask before the hike.

Flask suggests a somewhat old-fashioned or utilitarian vessel compared to the more contemporary "water bottle."
