Fab US Marine Corps canteen pouch in Wile E. color. A component of the Full Spectrum Battle Equipment (FSBE) system. This handy pouch fits the US 1-quart (1 liter) canteen plus many other bottles, e.g. 1-liter Nalgene. Also works as a compact general purpose/utility pouch.
This is a very simple canteen pouch that only has one compartment designed for the standard US canteen. The measurements are c. 19 x 11 x 6 cm (7.5" x 4.5" x 2.5"). The mouth of the pouch has a sturdy rubber band that keeps the canteen in place quite nicely. Furthermore, it has a flap with a velcro and buckle closure. If needed, you can also slide the flap inside where it attaches to the back wall. This way you can mount the bottle in a way that the cap is always visible. The pouch is made from Cordura or something similar tough stuff and it has a mesh bottom.
The attachment method is your usual MOLLE/PALS, so it fits on all kinds of PALS webbing, such as vests and packs, plus a regular belt. NSN: 8465-01-516-7976.
NO canteen included. That needs to be purchased separately.
Officially used USMC surplus. But these seem to have seen very little use, or they were just forgotten in some warehouse. The ones we checked were in very good condition
