1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible, March 27, 2010

Save your money and buy actual GI. To start off when I got mine, it had a small crack on the neck where the cap goes. The seals are very cheaply made. Although it says "heavy duty" on the item, in reality it's very thin aluminum as evidenced by the crack in the neck. This item was made in China and screams cheap.

Spend the extra few dollars and buy the real USA made steel version of this itemm instead of this knockoff.

This review is from: 1-qt Aluminum Canteen (Misc.)

I'm rating this item as an actual canteen, rather than what I bought it for: I bought this canteen for theatrical use, and for that it was perfect (I *wanted* it to be dented and scratched.) However, as a canteen, this is complete junk. I filled it up just out of curiosity, and it leaked both from the mid-seam and from the cap. The cap is made of some weaksauce plastic that didn't quite match the threads on the actual canteen, causing the metal to cut its own threads into/over the threads of the cap. In fact, now that I'm looking at it dry, I see that the cheap plastic cap also managed to score grooves in the freaking metal. There are literally gouges in the metal threads and metal flakes all over the inside of the cap. The cap can easily be pulled off without bothering to unscrew it. The chain is a joke. The hole on the canteen the chain attaches to is off-center, almost to the point of being a notch rather than a hole. Easily dented. The origin sticker on the bottom seems to have been the most durable component!

4.0 out of 5 stars Does the job, September 22, 2007

Inexpensive, easy to clean, fill and put in 'fridge for cold water. Beats wasting hundreds of plastic bottles each year. Big for messenger bags but great for the car.
