“Great piece of kit here, thank you, thank you.
With regards the cover shrinking, I found a solution.
Remove cover, immerse in hot water and massage the cover, refit over canteen, it will require some effort but button can be done up, tightly wrap string around canteen and allow to cool and dry. This has worked successfully for me”
“Great piece of kit from the Czech military, it does have a loop to be able to be hooked UpTo a belt or molle strap. Would be hard to remove it for easy access. I don't have any problems with leaking, I like the design of having a wool cover to wet and keep cool. the only flaw on this canteen is it doesn't stand up straight like my other 1 quart canteens bcs of design, the interior of my canteen was basically like new but the exterior of the metal bottle has definitely seen some use.overall great bottle and would recommend to anyone, will be using this for camping and hiking trips, Cheers.”
“Since I’m oldschool I deliberately bought one of these with a cork instead of the plastic cap, from the Auckland store. Love the felt cover and classic leather harness, it feels right at home with my bushwalking kit back in Perth. The quality of the aluminium bottle is also top class. The Czechs (or Slovaks) did a great job producing this bit of kit in the 60’s, so much so that it was used till the 1990’s! Cheers, Rafski”
