A see-through plastic canteen of the Austrian armed forces, Bundesheer, with a green cloth cover. This water bottle fits approximately one liter (c. 1 quart) of liquid, so it isn’t that bad to carry even when full.

The cap is attached to the bottle, so it takes some talent to lose it in the wilderness. The mouth of the bottle is quite wide, which makes it very easy to fill the bottle. Even if you carry a water reservoir with you, it might be wise to carry an extra bottle with you for cooking purposes.

On the backside of the bottle, there’s the Austrian idea of the ALICE-clips. You can use them to attach the bottle to your gear as long as the strap is not wider than 5 cm (2”).

Condition

Used army surplus but in very good condition. Some as good as new. Some have some small stains and some wear on the cloth cover. Wash the bottle properly before the first use.
