This is the standard issue U.S. Army canteen cover that goes perfect with the Army standard issue plastic 1 quart canteen and aluminum canteen cup. This was standard issue about ten years ago before all those funky modern camoflouge colors came out. The cover has 2 flaps that can be snapped shut once you insert your plastic canteen and/or cup, thus keeping everything firmly in place. There is also a small pouch on the outside for the intended purpose of placing your water purifying tabs, salt tabs, matches, or whatever inside. 2 each metal belt loops are provided for attachment to a web belt, back pack, etc. One reviewer stated that he had a hard time un-doing the metal loops from his belt when he wanted to drink some water. Leaves one to wonder why he just did not un-snap the flaps and pull the canteen out of the cover? There is also a small metal framed hole at the bottom of the cover; this is for drainage/evaporation should the cover become wet. Once wet, the cover does dry quite quickly. The cover is made out of some very tough nylon and is quite resistant to tears. When I was in the Army, I had to construct numerous razor wire and barbed wire obstacles while wearing all that army gear. My gear would always get caught up in the wire and the most damage that I ever received on these style canteen covers was some scuff marks/fraying to the material. The nylon material will hold up fantastically for caving, rock climbing, etc. If you have any problems with this canteen cover, it will be most likely with the metal snaps for the flaps. Sometimes they do get a little temperamental. You may experience some minor fraying of the material around the metal snaps, small pouch or the metal framed hole on the bottom. That minor damage will come about depending on the kind of abuse you put this cover through. Price for this item is very good, about the same as you would find in a surplus store. Good value and good tough item. I still use these old army issue items for hiking, camping, biking.

I have been using a G.I. style canteen and cover for over 25 years. I have tried other water holding devices over the years and though they have all claimed they are improved, or better at keeping the water cooler, none have done a better job than my tried and true G.I. style canteen and cover. There are some constants in this world and one of them is that when you use evaporating water as your cooling mechanism, the water evaporates at the same speed and cools at the same rate whether it is in the fibers of a $10.00 pouch or a $100.00 pouch. Do yourself a favor and save yourself some money by getting the original G.I. style canteen, cover, and cup.

This canteen cover is perfect, save for one feature: the belt loop. Sure, it has belt loops, but in order to get a drink, you’d either have to be flexible or take off your belt. But other than that, it looks great, can take a beating and insulates your canteen pretty well.
