## Description

For some reason the French stuff always tastes better. After a long grueling day on the trail, a drop of water from this Canteen is going to feel like a high-priced Chardonnay. And our surplus price leaves plenty of room in your budget for baguettes and steak frites. Those big plastic water bottles are bound to break, but this rugged military issue French canteen would hold water during a nuclear explosion. A solid aluminum canteen is stored inside an OD canvas belt sheath and offers a screw on cap on a chain so you won't lose it. 1 quart capacity.

    Worth a real look

     The big French metal canteen sold by a German distributer, ironic but then these were apparently not dropped too many times - versus 1 quarter US style canteen

    Volume, French win. Weight, with less water volume, US style win.Ability to boil water (canteen direct) - French win (Both can be hung above. Most plastic bottles can, even basic water bottles, but get the distance/heat level wrong and a bottomless bottle fails the water tight test every time which is not a worry with metal - both also have canteen cups but see below on that)Bad taste - plastic version wins - with metal, there is no residual taste from coffee, juice, etc after rinsing out/sanitizing is much easier. Strength - rigid against semi-flexible - really depends on the oopsBetween these two it is really the canteen cups that add value to the French version - longer handles, a heat damper between the cup skin and the handle brace, roughly the same volume for the cups. The US case has a pocket for some sort of small purifying bottle or packet. It also has thicker insulation.I had no quality issues on any I bought and basically bought for the extra volume and ability to boil the entire bottle at a go, and yes old fashion, so I like to boil even if it came up through a filter. It takes a few tries to figure out that you have to pop the lid on so it is on the threads level and then tighten it down - no leaks after that. There are other metal US style canteens offered, but again less volume and seams that separate on some. Look around and see if metal helps and I hope this did on at least about what this French version offers.

    Awesome Canteen
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 16, 2013*

Like some of the people rating this, I experienced trouble with the gasket on the lid leaking slightly. However, I went to my local hardware store, got a metic O-ring and fixed it immediately. Now, I would say mine would be in a five-star condition. The cup is very nice. Aluminum construction for both the cup and canteen (obviously). The bag for the canteen is a tight squeeze if you're trying to fit the cup in it as well. Overall, 4 stars only because of the lid/cap issue, which was easy and quick to fix.I would NOT trade this canteen for another if I were given the chance.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Cheaply made
  

*by C***6 on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 28, 2012*

Well this was the most expensive aluminum canteen I could find - I wanted the best quality and most durable possible. The canteen body itself seems sturdy; it does not lock or wedge into the cup so unless you use the canteen carry cover the two peices will fall apart. However at some point - as another user pointed out and posted pictures, this newer version of the canteen has a much cheaper lid and chain/chain-hook construction. This will still serve its purpose but since I searched high and low for a high quality canteen and this was the best I could find, I am a bit disappointed.
