Originally designed for military use, the East German insulated canteen is a surplus unissued item. Each canteen is in excellent condition and will hold approximately 32-ounces of your preferred drink. These plastic canteens utilize a screw on cap that provides a tight seal and ensures leak-free transport. They are covered by an olive drab, formed foam outer shell that serves as an insulator and is intended to keep your drinks hot or cold for hours at a time.

Another interesting feature on this canteen is the inclusion of a spout cover, which doubles as a cup. Made of metal, the cup is equipped with handles just in case your beverage of choice happens to be a hot one. It also makes this canteen ideal for sharing.

The cups are secured over the screw on caps using buckle closure straps that surround the canteen vertically and horizontally and form a belt loop on the reverse for easy transport.

The East German insulated canteen is perfect for any outdoor adventure. Since it comes in a 2-pack, keep one for yourself and give the other as a gift.

Consider this canteen for any of the following activities:

- Daily use

- Hiking

- Camping

- Survival

- Travel

- Extended hours of outdoor work
