Works well after a quick fix,
Received product quickly and good condition. The set as a whole seems to be good quality. The cover is durable and the cup and canteen fit snug. After thoroughly washing the cup a couple times I have boiled water in it three times just to test how well the metal and coating held up, and there were no cracks or flakes in the coating. There also was no discoloration to the bottom from exposure to direct flame. The bottle is made of a sturdy plastic. I was afraid from the picture that it would be made of a cheap transparant plastic but it wasn’t. The problem I had was when it was full of water and I gave it a relatively firm squeeze, water came out of the gap between the cap and the lid, which was a result from the lid not containing any sort of O ring, which is why I gave it 4 stars. But after affixing an O ring of mine it stopped. I would and have recommended this to a friend. Update: I learned of a technique from a friend to turn this into an improvised fishing pole (…ish) Just wrap a length of fishing line to the lowest point of the neck, directly below the ‘cap retention strap’ and secure a hook to the loop created by the strap. Then when needed, throw your line in the water and use the bottle as an anchor point. Just remember that the bottle likely needs to be secured by a rock or the like. …remember you always need to find ways to utilize your equipment in as many ways as possible

|Not Mil-Spec,
I was in the Army, and there is nothing about this that is Mil-Spec, at least, not as I remember.
It is about as cheap as you can get and still be somewhat functional.
I certainly would not trust it as my primary dependance, it doesn’t leak now but the canteen is very thin with very suspect seams.
With the thin cup and tiny handles, the cup may be useful to mix some koolaid, but that’s about it.
The cover seems about par for the course, it’s functional but with a tiny almost useless pocket
All things considered, I gave it 2 stars, it is a child’s toy and will be used by the grand kids.

|Excellent canteen,
This canteen is excellent. I have used this canteen for all of my camping trips and day hikes. I have put this canteen through a few test and it has passed with flying colors. No leaks or holes. The canteen cover is also handy, it comes with two clips so you can attach to a belt very easily. The aluminum cup is also very nice, I use this to boil water and as a soup bowl. The handles on the bowl however are very hot if you do use it as a cooking pot. I suggest letting the cup cool because the handles are very close to the cup and they swing, so you don’t want to accidentally swing the cup of hot water onto your hand. Over all it is a very nice canteen set. I recommend it for anyone looking for a well built canteen.
