Yep it's what the crusader mug was designed for after all. I've never had any problems with the genuine ones.

£2.99 unissued here: http://www.militarymart.co.uk/index.php?_a=product&product_id=1836.

Best water bottles money can buy. Been all around the world with me and they never fail. Make sure it's a real one though/

Where can I buy a real one ? What's wrong with others do they just break easily ?

The ones in the military-mart link I posted are the real issued bottles. The repro ones tend to have crap seals and leak.

I like these. Use 2 to keep me balanced, the complete setup in the appropriate PLCE pouch is well thought out.

You could try Endicotts for supply (http://www.endicotts.co.uk/componen...ine-issue-58-patt-black--1691-detail?Itemid=0 ),no connection other than a satisfied customer.

I have had an original for years and it's still fine. A few months ago I put it on the car roof while I strapped the toddler into his car seat.

It came off the roof just as I hit 30 mph, skidded across the road, under a car travelling in the opposite direction and smacked into the kirb. Other than getting quite scuffed it didn't do any harm! Great bottles.

I've looked at the date of my oldest one and it is 1997. Still going strong, but smelling very strongly of mead.

That is the one I She-Wee'd in. Twice.

Ha ha ha Its sterile I guess. I cannot see it adding to the mead, mind ya it tasted alright to me so what do I know

It took Jonathan four swigs before he noticed. It is his 'special' one with the white blob on the cap. The one reserved for special beverages. He took it out earlier this evening. I filled it up for him. [giggles evilly]
