2 Quart Water Canteen with New Issue Insulated Carrier and Shoulder Sling

Grew up in Boy Scouts with this as my preferred carry for larger amounts of water. When empty can collapse a bit to save on space and is very light. Walls seems too thin but I haven't had it break on me yet. Especially when used with the cover, very little chance of wearing through any of the side walls. Pouch is great, you can put a bit of water on it to evaporate and help keep the water cool. Even without wetting the cover it helps keep it cool enough to notice a difference when drinking. Not as great temperature retaining wise as a vacuum bottle but is cheaper, less weight/space, and more versatileNow this works as my larger water carrier and also I prefer to freeze half filled with water and put in cold water before a hike. Has kept the ice for 4 hours on a hot day in the summer. Left half filled and frozen in the freezer for 2 months when I forgot about it. No excess wear and tear noticed. Also works awesome as an ice pack.

I have put this thing trough the ringer and have cooked all sorts of things it. The canteen holds a lot of water and the cap is strong and sturdy. The cup does not give in with the weight of heavy foods. The little chain from the back of the canteen to the top of the cap did break from the abuse of energetic children but it really does not worry me, it's screws on real tight. The nylon cover truly holds the temperature of whatever liquid I put in there be it hot or cold. The belt works great too but I don't use it that much.

Now that it is like 100 degrees with 1000% humidity, I have been consuming a LOT of water lately. I normally like to drink at least a gallon of water a day, and yes... I do go to the bathroom often. My old insulated 40oz bottle (which cost me an arm and a leg) had to be retired after dropping it one too many times. I wanted something that was lightweight, and held a minimum 40 oz of fluids, and something that was easy to carry or clip onto a carabiner. I didn't want to lug around a hydration pouch, because I just don't like drinking from a tube, and the cleaning and maintenance has really become a hassle for me. I still use it on long hikes (3L capacity).My buddy told me about 2 qt canteens, looked into it and decided to give it a try.This was cheap, holds 64oz (2qts, or a little less than 2ltrs), and has an insulation pouch which is quite neat.The product came in a completely sealed package, brand new, never used. As others have said, there was a slight... smell. Hard to describe. Kind of like a plastic/industrial smell to it? But after washing and rinsing it out with soap and water, and letting it dry, it got the smell out. Been using it all day today, and its easy to track how much I drink throughout the day.It comes with its own shoulder strap. Here's my one and only complaint, and it is more of a personal choice. I look kind of like a dork wearing this. I'm not military, or a vet, or law enforcement. This was just very practical. But wearing it makes me look like brute trying to don a tactical man-bag. But boy, is it convenient to just be able to swing this around, take a sip, and swing it back. Its not as dorky as walking around with a bladder, and it is definitely more convenient than carrying around a bottle everywhere.I guess, I'm getting at that age... almost middle-aged... where I prefer function over fashion. Might as well invest in some white shin socks and rocking those with sandals, while tucking in my t-shirt into my jean shorts. Keeping all my valuables in my fanny pack, and have a belt clip/holder for my cellphone...Back to the review. Instead of paying $$ for a brand name insulated water bottle, I got this for half the price, and is well worth it in my opinion.

Nice water canteen. Keeps the water reasonably cold when hiking with the dogs in the summer. The cover has a nice lining to assist with keeping the water cold. However, I am not impressed with the strap and the canteen will only attach to a military style belt so I carry it in my backpack when hiking. It did NOT have a foul odor of plastic as others had mentioned but I did wash it out good before using it. My biggest complaint is that the cap frequently does not thread on correctly and I spend a lot of time trying to get the canteen to seal. The threads are very wide and the cap does not fit onto the threads easily. I do like that the bladder can compress to remove the air and by extension the sloshing sound that you can get from a canteen that is not full. If the lid threaded on securely and easily, I would have given 5-stars. I cannot imagine a GI fussing with this lid in a real life combat situation.

Git what I ordered....good quality no issues.

What a perfect addition to my desert camo Marine backpack. Not only was this a great deal it is military grade and if it’s good enough for the military it definitely is good enough for me. This comes with everything you need including the Alice Clips to attach to your molle gear and with the shoulder strap as well. The collapsible bottle seals water tight and holds 2 quarts of liquid rather than 1 like the typical canteen. From Ozark Outdoorz I highly recommend this set you won’t regret it!“”

This standard-issue 2-qt canteen (with carrier and strap) does NOT leak! It has this stopper thing in the cap, which I assume prevents leaking. Our old canteen without the stopper did leak. As this is a standardized product, you can always buy a new carrier or strap online or from an Army surplus store if you need to, or a new "bladder" (the plastic canteen itself ... though be careful to buy one from this vendor if possible as that stopper in the cap saves the day). We go on long day hikes, up to 10 miles, when on vacations, and this size canteen is perfect for such hikes in order to stay hydrated. I'm very happy with this canteen!

Nice canteen for backpacking. Holds alot of water, 2 qts. Also has shoulder strap if wish to carry separately. The material is thick, lightweight and durable. The insulation jacket provide additional protection as well. I have 2.
