FAQ
What materials are canteens made from?
It varies! They’re usually made from BPA-free plastic or quality metals like stainless steel and aluminum. These materials are known for their durability and lightweight carry, making them suitable for long days on the trail, at work, or on duty. Historically, these water containers were made from materials like brass and tin.
Are your canteens military-issue or civilian models?
As an army surplus store, we’re proud to carry military-issue water containers. These used/USGI containers are made in the USA to military specifications. This means that they offer greater durability and performance, often outlasting civilian models. They’re excellent for outdoor adventures, work, travel, and any other situation in which you need trusted surplus gear.
Do these keep liquids hot or cold?
No. Traditional military water containers aren’t typically insulated. Their primary purpose is to hold water – not keep drinks hot or cold for extended periods.
Can I attach the military canteen to a backpack or belt?
You sure can! Many are designed with features like belt loops or attachment points that allow them to be secured onto your gear. They can also be placed in pouches or covers that are designed to be attached to your belt or backpack. This provides secure storage and easy access to your water while you’re on the trails, in the field, or just traveling.
