Stansport Canteen, 4-Quart, Black (290)

I love using this to go hiking, it carries a lot of water. Can take a fall despite being kinda flexible. My problem with is are the straps, they're too short and flimsy and the material scratches at an exposed skin but I took care of that by wrapping a scarf around it. I've been looking for different straps but it's somewhat hard to do.

I love This canteen!!! I had one like it decades ago in scouts. I recently purged that old rusty one, because i liked looking at it but not actually drinking from it, so i decided to replace it. When it arrived my 6&8 year olds decided they wanted them too. I didn’t want to end up carrying all 3 of them on our hikes so I decided to return it and buy hydration backpacks instead. Those worked out great for that but not everyday use and I never got around to returning this guy. It road around in the car with us until the day after the return deadline. Since i paid for it i had better use it. This guy is a bigger version than my old one. It’s giant! It makes me laugh. And It just so happens that It’s exactly the right amount of water that i should be drinking daily, which is a lot. You can take your current weight in pounds, and multiply that by 1/2 to 2/3rds . For seriously, I googled it. It’s a conversation starter, people love it. Some mistake it for a purse or a drum. It’s fun. It’s brought up some great conversations about the health benefits of drinking water and about the importance of ensuring clean water for everyone, everywhere . By using it I’m cutting way back on my single use plastic waste, which may also come up in conversation. It’s stylish and unique. The strap is exactly the right length, fits like a purse. The part you drink from is white plastic. Something to think about, make sure you carry something, like a bandana, to wipe your lipstick off of it before it stains. The only reason I would consider A lower star rating is because after using it consistently for a very short amount of time, like 2 weeks, the lid broke. In the canteens defense, it was probably user error, as I saw My child holding it by the lid loop, which broke it even more. Now I have To make sure it’s upright constantly or there’s a giant puddle. I’m going to buy another one, it’s a great price. I’ll probably try to use a special plastic glue to fix it and keep as a back up. CHEERS!!

De muy buena capacidad

Quick deliver , great water carrier, bigger than I thought but excellent

I have had two of these for over five years I just bought another. I use them to store water in my vehicle in the summer months. This is my emergency supply for break downs in remote areas. If you want to store water they are great but not so suitable for hiking or backpacking, I don't know anyone who hikes and stays overnight who uses a canteen anyway, get a hydration bladder for that. However, hydration bladders go bad if you use them for long term storage. So carry you emergency pack with a clean hydration bladder in your truck but fill it for use from another storage container. I do not leave any water in the vehicle when the temp drops below 25 degrees not sure they would stand up to freezing but summer is when I feel the need a large water supply. I feel many of the other containers you might find are overpriced these canteens are a good deal for the money. Has package the standard stupid California required warning but the interior is lined with a drink safe plastic liner.
